On May 1, the day of his book's release, author J. Patrick O'Connor was interviewed at Philadelphia City Hall about "The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal."
O'Connor argues that the actual shooter of police officer Daniel Faulkner was a man named Kenneth Freeman. O'Connor criticizes the media, who, he says "bought into the prosecution's story line early on and has never been able to see this case for what it is: a framing of an innocent and peace loving man."
Go to Abu-Jamal-News.com for more from O'Connor, including a previous interview, a book excerpt, a review of "Murdered By Mumia," and a response to the March 27 court ruling.

On May 1, the day of his book's release, author J. Patrick O'Connor was interviewed at Philadelphia City Hall about "The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal."
In part two of this interview, he discusses the March 27 ruling by the US Third Circuit Court of Appeals denying Mumia a new guilt-phase trial. In his book, O'Connor felt strongly that Mumia would be granted a new trial, and in light of the contrary ruling, he argues that the court made a political decision and actually went against court precedent to do this.

This is a video of the May 10, 2008, demonstration supporting the MOVE 9 prisoners and Mumia Abu-Jamal, on the 23rd anniversary of the May 13 bombing of the MOVE organization's West Philadelphia home.
As the "MOVE Commission" would later document, police shot at MOVE members when they tried to escape the burning house, resulting in the deaths of 11 MOVE members, including 5 children and MOVE founder John Africa.
After police shot over 10,000 rounds of bullets into their West Philadelphia home, a State Police helicopter dropped a C-4 bomb, illegally supplied by the FBI, on MOVE's roof. The bomb started a fire that eventually destroyed 60 homes: the entire block of a middle-class black neighborhood. Carrying the young Birdie Africa, the only other survivor, Ramona Africa dodged gunfire and escaped from the fire with permanent burn scars.
The latest in a series of videos spotlighting the MOVE 9 parole hearings, this features interviews with several supporters, including:
--Yvonne Orr, the daughter of MOVE 9 prisoner Delbert Africa
--Anne Lamb, New York City Jericho Movement
--Jeffrey Rousset, Students for a Democratic Society --Rick Burnley, the Poet Laureate of Camp Casey, reading his poem "Raining in America" (rickburnley.com)

This is an edited video from the April 19 demonstration in Philadelphia, supporting death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, whom many consider to be a political prisoner.
The demonstration of over 1,000 people was a response to the recent Third Circuit Court ruling denying a new guilt-phase trial.
The demonstration started at the Federal Courthouse, which is just across the street from the Liberty Bell, in downtown Philadelphia. After gathering at the courthouse for several hours, protesters marched around the Liberty Bell, where they ran into an anti-Mumia counter demonstration displaying signs with such assertions as "Fry Mumia and His Supporters."
The counter-protest was organized by the racist "Keystone State Skinheads" group (KSS) and other fascists. The KSS are staunch advocates of Mumia's execution. Photos on the KSS website feature KSS member Keith Carney at the Maureen Faulkner book signing last December at Geno's Steaks, an establishment now famous for their "This is America, Speak English" sign on the front window. Carney was recently released from prison after his conviction for assaulting a black man. He now attempts to present a public image that is less overtly racist by replacing racial slurs with phrases like "welfare mom" and "drug-dealer," as illustrated by the shirt he is wearing in the photo at Geno's, which reads "Kill Your Local Drug Dealer."
After confronting the racist counter-protest, the march then proceeded to Philadelphia City Hall. After circling City Hall several times and occupying the street in front of the building at 15th and Market, protesters gathered at City Hall's Northwest corner and heard many speakers including Cynthia McKinney, Julia Wright, Herman Ferguson, Harold Wilson, and Mumia's daughter, Goldi.

Press Conference and protest outside the federal courthouse in Philadelphia on March 31, 2
Press Conference and protest outside the federal courthouse in Philadelphia on March 31, 2008. This was in response the the March 27 Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision that denied Mumia a new guilt-phase trial.
While ruling against the three issues that could have led to a new guilt-phase trial, the court affirmed Judge Yohn's 2001 decision overturning the death sentence. If the District Attorney wants to re-instate the death sentence, the DA must call for a new penalty-phase jury trial that would be limited to the question of life in prison without a chance of parole or a death sentence.
There will be a mass demonstration on April 19, the Saturday before the Presidential Primary Election.
