Mumia's still in jail guys

A federal appeals court recently said Mumia Abu-Jamal can't be executed without a new penalty hearing. While this is a great step forward, it took far too long. Mumia has been on death row since 1981, after he was framed for killing a Philadelphia police officer. I say framed because he was. The forensics report said that the bullet that killed the officer was not the same size as the one from a gun Mumia was found with. An officer lied as he testified against Mumia, and the judge was quoted during the trial as saying, "I'm going to help them fry that n****r". For crying out loud, a man confessed after the trial to the killing. And yet Mumia sits on death row to this day. He is indeed the voice of the voiceless. We need to free this man and end racism in the court system. We cannot keep back-tracking like this, we need to move forward to a more equal, fair country, and indeed a more equal, fair world.
