[lbo-talk] Moore on Mumia

[R]

let's put it this way, doug:  the guy was never proven guilty in a fair
trial.   if the court system would reopen his trial, we might know if he
were guilty or not guilty.   until then, he's entitled to the presumption of
innocence.

the intense political pressure -- despite the facts which have emerged since
the kangaroo court trial -- to keep the case from being reopened or retried
leads one to believe people in power do not want evidence to emerge that
would call into question both the facts of the matter as presented by the
state, and the failure of the legal system to live up to its constitutional
mandate to provide fair and just trials.

How could you know that? I have no idea what happened. He got an
awful trial, and capital punishment is evil, but how could you be so
convinced of his innocence?
