...argue that Mumia has more support outside of Philly, because local media coverage has been so biased against Mumia, and I'd have to agree. This international support is impressive.

"The people who support his release don't do so from a position of knowledge." He continued: "They either oppose the death penalty, or they're campus rebels, or they're African-American activists who believe that a black man was railroaded, and will continue to believe it, no matter what's presented to them."
