Brief report from Philly, November 8 and November 9

From Sister Marpessa, links below to local mainstream reporting.

We'll try to get you a report on the legal situation for those who were not in Philly and did not hear both Attorney Judith Ritter and some of us who were inside the courtroom speak immediately after the hearing.

There will also be a video version of the "great debate" between DA Seth Wiliams and filmmaker Tigre Hill, on the side of execution, and Attorney Michael Coart and Professor/filmmaker Johanna Fernandez on the side of Mumia's innocence in which our side was packed with information pointing to prosecutorial and police misconduct, and the distortion of the truth of what happened on December 9, 1981, and their side kept repeating the mantra of their much-challenged story of what happened that night.

These were two amazing days in Philadelphia. Thank you to all of you who came out yesterday, and to those who came out for both Monday and Tuesday, for making such a powerful statement of support for Mumia and justice!

Suzanne Ross, for the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition
