 Johanna Fernandez of Big Noise Films, filmmaker of the powerful documentary on Mumia, Justice on Trial, was interviewd by The People's Minister of Information JR of Block Report Radio. Justice on Trial navigates the tempest of the Abu-Jamal trial by reviewing the known facts of the case. It demonstrates that the major violations in the Abu-Jamal case -- judicial bias, prosecutorial misconduct, racial discrimination in jury selection, police corruption and tampering with evidence to obtain a conviction-- are not special to this case. Instead, they are commonly practiced within the criminal justice system and account for the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans and Latinos in the United States. The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal is a microcosm of greater problems in the criminal justice system in the United States today. The attention that its many violations have received make the Abu-Jamal case one of the most important civil rights cases of our time. Send our brotha some LOVE and LIGHT at:Mumia Abu-JamalAM 8335 SCI-Greene 175 Progress DriveWaynesburg, PA 15370
