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.
It is clear that Mumia’s supporters need to take to the streets as we have done for decades to pressure the system of political repression (some of our prior victories include forcing the overturning of his death sentence, winning his release from decades of solitary confinement as well as access to better health care).
We cannot merely rely on the Injustice System of the US Global Empire to “do the right thing” on its own.
