LEADING UK LAWYERS PETITION US APPEAL COURT
RE RACISM IN CASE OF DEATH ROW JOURNALIST
150 of the UK's most distinguished lawyers are signatories to a letter initiated by Ian Macdonald QC and Legal Action for Women, to the US court of appeal. The letter highlights the racism in the original trial and subsequent hearings of Mr Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award winning journalist. After 24 years on Pennsylvania's death row, Mr Abu-Jamal, convicted in 1982 of killing a policeman, has been granted an appeal which if successful could result in a new trial. This would be the first time his side of the case against conviction would be heard by a jury.

Excerpt from the debate:
Jeff Coriell: Are you satisfied with the Administration of capital
punishment in this state? If not, how will you as Attorney General fix it?
And will you commit to us today that if, as Attorney General, you determine
that the death penalty is not being applied fairly or justly, that you will
call for a moratorium on the enforcement of the death penalty?.. I think
Marc should go first.
