The case of former Black Panther and radio journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted in1981 of killing a white Philadelphia police officer, has drawn a lot of attention. High profile artists and activists from around the world have weighed in. It has been the subject of 4 documentaries and several books, with high-profile artists and activists from around the world weighing in. “I think the Mumia case, depending on whom you ask, is actually two trials. One is about a very gruesome death and murder of a police officer in the line of duty, Daniel Faulkner, with very compelling and marshaled evidence against Mumia Abu-Jamal. And on the other hand, it's a trial of the system. There are allegations of police coercion and abuse, racial stacking the jury and racial application of the death penalty,” said Craig Green, a professor at Temple University Beasley’s School of Law. “So on the one hand, it's a very vivid murder story, and on the other hand, it's everything that's thought to be wrong with the criminal justice system.”
