#2 LINN WASHINGTON: "Murdered by Mumia?" press conf UNEDITED

PART 2/2: This video features a presentation by investigative journalist Linn Washington, Jr. (Philadelphia Tribune columnist and Professor of Journalism at Temple University) at the "Murdered by Mumia?" press conference held on 12/04/07 in Philadelphia, that was organized by Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal. While largely a response to the new book "Murdered By Mumia" written by Maureen Faulkner and Michael Smerconish, the press conference was also used to present the new crime scene photos which were discovered in 2006 by German author Michael Schiffmann (co-founder of Journalists for Mumia) while working on his new book "Race Against Death". This version only features PART 2/2 of the presentation by Washington, but the full version of the press conference can also be viewed here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4368831604559244212

The panelists, in order of appearance were: Hans Bennett, David Love, Dave Lindorff, Linn Washington Jr., and Pam Africa.

Two days later, NBC's Today Show would spotlight the newly discovered photos on their segment about "Murdered By Mumia," viewable here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FsL3rjXpl4
