I, MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, declare:
1. I am the Petitioner in this action. If called as a witness I could and would testify to the following from my own personal knowledge:
2. I did not shoot Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. I had nothing to do with the killing of Officer Faulkner. I am innocent.
3. At my trial I was denied the right to defend myself, I had no confidence in my court-appointed attorney, who never even asked me what happened the night I was shot and the police officer was killed, and I was excluded from at least half the trial.
4. Since I was denied all my rights at my trial I did not testify. I would not be used to make it look like I had a fair trial.
5. I did not testify in the post-conviction proceedings in 1995 on the advice of my attorney, Leonard Weinglass, who specifically told me not to testify.
6. Now for the first time I have been given an opportunity to tell what happened to me in the early morning hours of December 9, 1981. This is what happened:
7. As a cabbie I often chose 13th and Locust Street because it was a popular club area with a lot of foot traffic.
8. I worked out of United Cab on the night of 12/9/81.
9. I believe I had recently returned from dropping off a fare in West Philly.
10. I was filling out my log when I heard some shouting.
11. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw a flashing dome light of a police cruiser. This wasn't unusual.
12. I continued to fill out my log/trip sheet when I heard what sounded like gun shots.
13. I looked again into my rear view mirror and saw people running up and down Locust.
14. As I scanned I recognized my brother standing in the street staggering and dizzy.
15. I immediately exited the cab and ran to his scream.
16. As I came across the street I saw a uniformed cop turn toward me gun in hand, saw a flash and went down to my knees.
17. I closed my eyes and sat still trying to breath.
18. The next thing that I remember I felt myself being kicked, hit and being brought out of a stupor.
19. When I opened my eyes, I saw cops all around me.
20. They were hollering and cursing, grabbing and pulling on me. I felt faint finding it hard to talk.
21. As I looked through this cop crowd all around me, I saw my brother, blood running down his neck and a cop lying on his back on the pavement.
22. I was pulled to my feet and then rammed into a telephone pole beaten where I fell and thrown into a paddy wagon.
23. I think I slept until I heard the door open and a white cop in a white shirt came in cursing and hit me in the forehead.
24. I don't remember what he said much except a lot of "n-----s", "black motherfuckers" and what not.
24. I believe he left and I slept. I don't remember the wagon moving for a while and when it did for sometime.
25. I awoke to hear the driver speaking over the radio about his prisoner.
26. I was informed by the anonymous crackle on the radio that I was en route to the police administration building a few blocks away.
27. Then, it sounded like "I.D.'d as M-1" came on the radio band telling the driver to go to Jefferson Hospital.
28. Upon arrival I was thrown from the wagon to the ground and beaten.
29. I was beaten again at the doors of Jefferson.
30. Because of the blood in my lungs it was difficult to speak, and impossible to holler.
31. I never confessed to anything because I had nothing to confess to.
32. I never said I shot the policeman. I did not shoot the policeman.
33. I never said I hoped he died. I would never say something like that.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the above is true and correct and was executed by me on 3 May, 2001, at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.

A VICTORY FOR MUMIA! HE WAS MOVED INTO THE GENERAL POPULATION, BUT ONLY BECAUSE HIS SUPPORTERS FORCED THE PIG SCUM TO DO SO. PIGS ARE ARROGANT, CONSTITUTION-TRASHING FELONS! MUMIA IS A HERO EVEN IF HE DID KILL THE RACIST PIG TRASH WHO WAS TRYING TO MURDER MUMIA'S BROTHER WITH A HEAVY METAL FLASHLIGHT. BURN IN HELL, PIG COWARD!

The police officer whom Jamal allegedly killed was nothing more than a thug himself. He was the recipient of myriad race-related internal affairs complaints, all of which where "white" washed. Said pig felon deserved to die because he was savagely assaulting Jamal's brother with a heavy metal flashlight -- in retaliation for Jamal publicizing police crimes via his newspaper columns and radio shows. Jamal is sitting in jail only because his trial judge was a racist, Constitution-trashing ex-cop.

Now that you are off of deathrow Mumia, you are nothing but a convict who sits in prison with no chance of parole for killing a police officer. You are a journalist, but you are a cop-killing journalist. You are nothing Mumia, you will be nothing, you are nothing forever except a number now. Your deathrow status has been removed. You are nothing except a anti-social violent criminal and you will fuckin die in jail. You have won nothing. You are nothing. You stand for nothing.

There is a long history of people conspiring to cover up crimes. The crime against Mumia has been covered up for a very long time. If you think we are crazy for saying that Mumia was framed and continues to be victimized, watch all of the documentaries made about Mumia. Also, watch Girl 27. We're not crazy. We're just revealing the truth. The hatred against African Americans and women in general makes African Americans and women easy prey.
