FANTASTIC WBAI Radio Show on Mumia!-gctid34298

[nattyreb]

The WBAI Show last night gave out so much information that it is something
that everyone should listen to, it clearly spells out exactly how the system has
ignored it's own laws at every turn and has an answer to every question that
the kill-crazy cops and their supporters raise to try and murder our Bro.  It's
up to ALL of us to build a movement too big for that to happen!!  The
radio show is riveting, not boring, please listen to it and use it for P.E. !

PLEASE HELP TO COVER EVERY CORNER OF THE
INTERNET WITH THESE IMPORTANT UPDATES!!

Listen to the April 9, 2009 WBAI Radio show "Where We Live" focusing on the case of death row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the April 4 US Supreme Court ruling which rejected Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new guilt phase trial.

The show is hosted by Suzanne Ross, who is Co-Chair of the New York City Coalition to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal, and features as guests:

--Pam Kmt, Coordinator of the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal

--Linn Washington Jr,, Philadelphia Tribune columnist and Temple University professor of journalism

--Vincent Southerland, Assistant counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund

On Monday, April 4, the US Supreme Court Mumia Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new guilt phase trial (in official legal terms, they rejected his petition for a "writ of certiorari").   Abu-Jamal's appeal was based primarily on the US Supreme Court's 1986 "Batson v Kentucky" ruling which stated that a defendant deserves a new trial if it can be shown that the prosecutor used peremptory strikes to remove otherwise qualified jurors simply because of their race. At Abu-Jamal's 1982 trial, prosecutor Joseph McGill used 10 or 11 of his 15 strikes to remove otherwise acceptable black jurors.

The US Supreme Court has not yet decided whether it will further consider the Philadelphia DA's appeal of the 2001/2008 rulings of two lower courts, which ruled that Abu-Jamal deserves a new sentencing hearing if the death penalty is to be re-instated. Therefore, if the US Supreme Court rules in favor of the DA, Abu-Jamal can then be executed WITHOUT a new sentencing hearing!
