Like others here, I've been prompted by the hype to take a look at the circumstances of Mumia Abu-Jamal's sentance. So far, I haven't read anything that convinces me that he is not guilty of the charges against him.
But I have also read enough to convince me that he should have a new trial. I hope that happens, and I hope the verdict will be satisfactory to most reasonable people. And I hope at least the unrelenting on both sides will have their numbers significantly diminished.
