Over three years ago, hopes were raised when Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed the “discovery” of six boxes of evidence in Mumia Abu-Jamal’s unjust 1981 conviction.  These boxes contained new evidence of Munia’s innocence, judicial and police misconduct in the suppression of this evidence for decades, and the failure to share this evidence with Mumia’s legal teams during his original trial and subsequent appeals of his conviction.  However, on March 31 of this year, Judge Lucretia Clemons continued the tradition of the “Mumia Exception” in denying the most recent appeal filed by Mumia’s lawyers based upon this new evidence, in effect continuing to deny justice in Mumia’s case.
