No judge has ever really

No judge has ever really looked at the content of Mumia's trial except maybe for federal Judge Yohn in 2000.
He then stopped the death penalty, well knowing, that this case is fishy.
What do you make of the 3rd Circuit Court this year? They, too declared the death penalty not to be an option. Are you blind?

As far as I can see no judge ever dared to look at the content of the 1982 trial. They all just poked around the possible breaches of constitutional rights rather than to adress the important issues. Just as our "juridicial system" advises them to.

The three key prosecution witness were all forced to their testimonies. Like Cynthia White, a prostitue working for a collegue of crime scene police officer Giourdano. She had to alter her testimony at the police office four times until she was seen fit for trial (look at the court files!).

Or her collegue Veronica Jones, a working girl herself. She came clear in 1996 that she was offered a deal by Philaldephias's cops to accuse Mumia Abu-Jamal as the shooter. In her initial interview she mentioned more people on the scene and the murderer of officer Faulkner fleeing the scene before police arrived. But she was on a 15 year jail sentence and had two little kids. For her part in Mumia's trial she got off the 15 years and all other charges that time.
In her court appearance 1996 she made clear, that the same deal was done with her friend Cynthia White.

The taxi-driver: Not was he only on probation for fire bombing a school, he had no valid driving license on the night in Dec. 9, 1981.
He was checked by police earlier. That is all reported in various publications. Can't you see these people had some pretty tough times then?
And how easy it was to get them to testify?

Why wasn't Pedro P. Polakoff asked to testify then? The DA knew of of his fotographs. Sure, they didn't fit the
intended picture.

I've looked at a few recent Mumia articles.

Jon Pisano, you have no information to give but you post your claims of "justice served" wherever committed journalists like Hans Bennett publish.

I'm sorry, but you can't be serious.
