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. (signed) MUMIA ABU-JAMAL

i like your sarcasm..is it truth that hurts you? or the possible existence of a conscious black man that hurts you more? i know very well the realities of this capitalistic hell hole, and you sir would not be able recognize it nor the deception placed in your primitive mind. Come equipped with knowledge not foolishness before you make such statements. Think before you speak, it'll help you in the longrun
SodaSession, your mind must be made of putty. To fall for this piece of shameless propaganda is pathetic. You don't even realize - this video was made by pro-Communists, not pro-Mumia supporters. Of course your weak mind fell for it because they claimed racism - the magic word!
Take a bow, SodaSession, you blind sheep. You're a propagandist's wet dream. Try to think for yourself - it will help you in the long run.
soda session the only equipment needed before any statements are spewed is an opened mind , not a one sided ,rhetorical mess that achieves ''alotta nuttin'' but resentmenttowards another group,race , or walk of life. I live in the western neighborhoods of Philadelphia, which is 70% black I nothing but admiration for those who work hard and don't bitch about what the guy on the other side of the street has or doesn't have. Folks or your ilk need to relax a little.
SodaSession, you know nothing of the truth. Let's take the topic at hand, shall we? Do you know anything about MOVE? Ever had contact with a MOVE member? Ever even step foot in Philadelphia or a major city for that matter?
Didn't think so. Keep preaching about "the truth" that you know so little about.
Capitalistic hell hole? The only people who see it that way are losers who make excuses for themselves. How's that working out for you? Damn, that bad, huh?
you see how they treat our people,then they expect us to turn the other cheek & pray to the falsified prophet jesus so he can solve our issues.fuck jesus & fuck the police,their brutality against an already weakened people(due to their fascist system of politics) shows their cowardice. firing upon people in the presence of children is a maneuver made by the weak,a maneuver made by sheep like fools in the flock that is driven by stupidity & their idol shepherd named racism.damned fools!
You have no CLUE what these animals did to that quiet well rounded neighborhood, they resisted city ordinances , and had multiple L & I violations. The neighbors ( 90% black) complained to the authorities daily about the smell and the trash that collected there. No normal neighborhood really wants that on their street. .The city did not handle it all properly. But John Africa put those innocent children in harms way. Not mayor Goode. He was the decision maker...GOOGLE his picture.
