A clear case of open-and-shut guilt is how Philadelphia police and prosecutors describe the first-degree murder conviction that sent journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal to death row over a quarter century ago. However, just a quick peek underneath the surface of this case reveals a litany of errors and wrongdoing by police, prosecutors and judges that implode all claims of Abu-Jamal's absolute guilt.

INTRODUCTION On December 9th 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal was filling out his log sheet when he then heard some shouting along with a police cruiser. As Abu-Jamal continued to fill out his log sheet he then heard what sounded like gunshots. Abu-Jamal then saw people running up and down Locust Street and as he scanned the street he then saw his brother Billy Cook staggering through the street dizzy. When he...

Ghosts of Vietnam [col. writ. 11/29/09] (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal If early news accounts are correct, President Barack Obama will send over 30,000 new troops into Afghanistan, to support and defend one of the most corrupt governments on earth.

*The Other China Syndrome [col. writ. 11/21/09] (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal* We are all taught to think about things like economics, as things to be placed in boxes, like mail is sorted at the post office. This goes in this box; that goes in that box. But economics is such that it goes into every box -- and every box leaks into it. It's not just a matter of dollars and cents; it's actually a matter of...

The Lakewood cop-killer has been shot dead by Seattle cops. That makes him a victim of police brutality, right? Could he become the next Mumia Abu-Jamal?

The threat to Mumia Abu-Jamal's life is increasingly ominous. His lead attorney, Robert Bryan, warns: "There is an escalated effort by the authorities to see him die at the hands of the executioner. This is the most dangerous time for Mumia since his 1981 arrest." The U.S. Supreme Court has turned down Jamal's two appeals. If it were to rule in favor of the prosecution's appeal, this would...

Colonies Still? [col. writ. 11/13/09] (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal One of the greatest theorists, analysts and critics of colonialism was the late Martinican psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, but Dr. Fanon's work dwelled on the crises of colonialism in Africa. We like to think that colonialism was a problem of yesteryear -- the '60's, '70's and early '80's. It's history -- right? Well, what really matters isn't...
