![]() ![]() I've been getting most of my info from 2 organizations working to Free Mumia: Mumia's writing will keep your interest and his intelligence and love for life shine through.Ī Case for Reasonable Doubt a DVD of the 60 Minutes show about Mumia's case. While I finished the book no more enlightened on the Mumia innocence/guilt question than when I started, I got a well written snap shot of life on death row. ![]() At the very least, the book was an educational review of life in prison and deep look into the soul of a death row inmate. Mumia's anecdotes were insightful and intelligent, leading the reader to keep flipping page after page. Surprisingly however, I found that the book did not deal with Mumia's case at all and instead focused on the social injustices that are acted out in our prisons every day. ![]() I picked up Live From Death Row hoping to develop a more informed opinion, one that was supported by my own experience with Mumia's writing. However, I still was not convinced either way of Mumia's innocence or his guilt. What I found was a case based on shaky ground at best, making it a jewel for human right activists. However, after the most recent Free Mumia march in Philly, I felt obligated to look into the case that riled people into such a frenzy. Growing up in Philadelphia I formed my negative opinions of Mumia and his case without ever having researched his history myself. ![]()
