#1/2 "Murdered by Mumia?" press conference EDITED

This is part 1/2 of an edited video of a 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 is an edited version, but the full version can also be viewed here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4368831604559244212

The panelists, in order of appearance were: Hans Bennett, David A. Love, Dave Lindorff, Linn Washington Jr., and Pam Africa. This PART ONE segment features Hans Bennett, David A. Love, and Dave Lindorff.

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

As a news reporter for 30 years in GA and MI, I have witnessed how sometimes Govt. and large corporations (who own media) can and do control the news in a subtle but effective way.

On the local level, news is sometimes censored by advertizers by stories that are not told or covered.

Mr. Mumia Abu-Jamal may - or may not - be guilty of killing this policeman.

This new evidence screams for a new trial.

Those who truly believe he is guilty should not fear a new trial - let the facts come out.

if mumia is soooo innocent why doesnt his briother just say who did it, that simple

[hcgrace1966]

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20 For you Mumia supporters! Read the above verse!

Thanks & Gratitude, in solidarity ...Free Mumia!!!

[BlackImperium]

the support of millions should not be enough to convince anyone. millions have been wrong before.

out of curiosity, have you read the trial transcripts in full?

kill mumia........freak

So why aren't these rights given to him, what would a new and fair trial hurt, do you also think that Billy Cook wants the respect for a fair trial since Veronica Jones was arrested for something that she was already arrested for when coming forward, it's FEAR from people like Kev666 that's inflicted on the masses that know the truth too well.

[JShr1234]

Actually, in an affidavit, Mumia pretty much states what happened and in the affidavit Mumia claims innocence, no matter what, Mumia never claimed this in a court of law for no new fair trial and he was barred from his own trial no matter what this was for, they have not testified again because they have not been given a new, fair trial to do so, Billy Cook had a trial so KEV666 you're obviously starting to blow your spot, Mumia also claimed to want "all of his rights not some" as well

[kev2m6]

any doucebag can swear to an affidavit, but they are not subject to cross examination so you can say whatever you want, there are affidavits of people claiming to be Elvis come again, they dont get prosecuted because there arent cross examined. so an affidavit is nothing, i want mumia and his brother to testify in a court of law, that affidavit says they will, but they were in '99 and 2001, so why havent they testified yet??? they are liars, it only took them oover 20 years to come up with that

[kev2m6]

freak your still not ansering my question, WHAT DOES MUMIA SAY HAPPENED???
