| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | Listen you have to look at it. I have heard rage say that they are not saying that mumia is innocent or not. They say that they just think he got an unfair trial and should be given a new fairer one. And RATM kicks ass. I feel the political lyrics give it a harder edge.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Muima got more than one trial...and was found guilty more than once on appeals. RATM in my opinion supports the wrong causes...if they want to make a difference in society and be "role models" maybe they should pick their causes better. I mean as much as anyone out there may hate the boy bands, they all have charities that help children, not convicted cop killers. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Well said. Here is the real story, in a nutshell: On December 9, 1981, at approximately 3:55 a.m., Officer Danny Faulkner, a five year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, made a traffic stop at Locust Street near Twelfth Street. The car stopped by Officer Faulkner was being driven by William Cook. After making the stop, Danny called for assistance on his police radio and requested a police wagon to transport a prisoner. Unbeknownst to him, William Cook's brother, Wesley (aka Mumia Abu-Jamal) was across the street. As Danny attempted to handcuff William Cook, Mumia Abu-Jamal ran from across the street and shot the officer in the back. Danny turned and was able to fire one shot that struck Abu-Jamal in the chest; the wounded officer then fell to the pavement. Mumia Abu-Jamal stood over the downed officer and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Mumia Abu-Jamal was found still at the scene of the shooting by officers who arrived there within seconds. The murderer was slumped against the curb in front of his brother's car. In his possession was a .38 caliber revolver that records showed Mumia had purchased months earlier. The chamber of the gun had five spent cartridges. A cab driver, as well as other pedestrians, had witnessed the brutal slaying and identified Mumia Abu-Jamal as the killer both at the scene and during his trial. On July 2, 1982, after being tried before a jury of ten whites and two blacks, Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Officer Danny Faulkner. The next day, the jury sentenced him to death after deliberating for two hours. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard the defendant's appeals and upheld the conviction on March 6, 1989. | ||||
