MUMIA WEBSITES

http://www.danielfaulkner.com/
Justice For Police Officer Daniel Faulkner
      "This website has been established and is maintained by a group of private citizens who believe that an accurate source of information is needed to bring balance and truth to those who are interested in this matter. We are not affiliated with any police organization. We are simply a group of individuals that has grown tired of seeing the outrageous distortions that various Jamal supporters have spread unchallenged, through the media and on the internet. We have gone to great lengths to research the true facts of this case and present them here for the first time. "  (wording taken from the site)
     The Mumia Teach-In sponsors would like to add that this site is key to obtaining information that argues against Mumia Abu-Jamal's innocence. The site includes over one hundred pages which specifically address many issues regarding the fairness of the trial. In addition, it includes the complete text of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision of October 29, 1998 which denied Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new trial. It contains information defending the death penalty and explaining current sentencing guidelines. This website ends with the transcript of ABC's newsmagazine "20/20" that was aired on December 9, 1998, in which Sam Donaldson provided a favorable presentation of the prosecution's case.
