Yes, the first one was a farce New York Daily News - 5-30-2000 Here we present a set of links to Refuse & Resist's extensive Mumia Abu-Jamal coverage. We also present links of rebuttal from the www.danielfaulkner.com site. We leave it up to each of our readers to decide your feelings on this important case. It is our feeling that, regardless of whether Mumia Abu-Jamal is guilty or innocent of this crime, from reading the details of the case, enough questions arise regarding facts and fairness of the trial to warrant a new trial to prove guilt or innocence. Regardless of how any of our readers feel about the death penalty, ROC feels that we can all agree that if capital punishment is to be carried out, we had better be damn certain of guilt before taking that irreversible punitive step.
