I was just over at Highbrid Nation and they have been doing some interesting coverage of the Mumia case. Like them I also have mixed feeling on the case. I don't to see any man executed but just becuase he should not be executed does that mean that he wasnt wrong. I don't know.
Thanks for the comment. I'm just realizing that Mumia's defense wasn't completely together on the question of what the complete makeup of the jury pool was and this may make the 3rd circuit not really take their claim of jury bias seriously. I wonder if that information is actually available. I hope some of their other claims were tighter or else Mumia could really fry. If someone has better information about his defense tactics, please email me or post a comment.
Great Blog. Thank you for shedding light on this historic case. No matter what your beliefs are about Mumia Abu-Jamal, there are issues of race relations and the objectivity of our court system at stake here. I tried to keep the coverage as neutral as possible but it's quite hard to when you have no one supporting the other side.
