...He wasn't expected to live.

He was also shot at the crime scene.

Faulkner was shot by a different caliber weapon than Mumia had.


BUT -----> the "frame" wasn't made to fit those facts, in the event that Mumia survived being shot, himself.

....Hence, the incredibly tangled web of information and dis-information that's sprung up from this case, as the prosecution's attempted to paper over all the unintended consequences. Your lame attempt to throw some bogus (and mostly incorrect) 'facts' as the "last word" on the trial just plays to type.

This is one of the biggest political trials in history. Right up there with Lieutenant Colonel Albert Dreyfus, Sir Thomas More, Sacco and Vanzetti, and any one of the kangaroo court proceedings that were presided over by Torquemada. Torquemada had a latter-day reincarnation in the person of the "prosecutor in robes," Judge Albert Sabo -- who got to preside over the retrial of the case!!!!


Keep that in mind, Paulsby ------> You can't keep people from thinking for themselves, long after you're gone.


The significance of this trial -- why has all of this been going on and on... and on... and on... for 30 years? -- isn't really about who should be "fried," for whatever kind of circumstantial evidence.

It's important because it's a frozen moment in time -- just after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and Brown vs. Board of Education, and the 60's "urban riots" -- that FUTURE historians might focus on.

...Like Vietnam, in other words, it's a "hearts and minds" propaganda campaign.


THAT's the fact that needs to be discussed.

...And that's probably the way later generations are going to judge the case. So you guys have already lost. The City of Paris has named a street for Mumia. That's probably going to last longer than the memory of you or me, swapping rhetorical punches here in the 21st century... Some unknown "investigative journalist" -- here's hoping that job description gets revived in more than name only -- will figure it all out.
