The Wire

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a black American journalist who was convicted of killing a policeman in Philadelphia in 1982 and was sentenced to death. He has been on death row for 22 years. His attorney Robert Bryan believes his trial was a miscarriage of justice. He spoke to Jonathan Lucraft about the aspects of the trial that call Abu-Jamal’s conviction into question, including lying witnesses, incorrect ballistic evidence and a racist judge.
