Mitchel Cohen examines “The Right to a Fair Trial: The case of Mumia
Abu-Jamal.” Mumia has been on death row in Pennsylvania for 28 years
for a crime he insists he did not commit.
We read from Linn Washington’s column in the Philadelphia Tribune,
listen to several of Mumia’s recent commentaries, and hear a little
about the Liberty Bell 7, arrested in 1999 while demanding a new
trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, and other political prisoners.
In the final segment, Mitchel Cohen recites for the first time his
long poem, “The Permanent Carnival” — interspersed with clips from
Joan Baez, Pink Floyd and Pavarotti.
