Robert R Bryan, lead attorney for
>>>"Mumia Abu-Jamal"<<< Report on the application in the US Court of Appeal for a new trial Followed by a Reception Hosted by Ian Macdonald QC] Garden Court Chambers 57-60 Lincoln ’s Inn Fields, London WC2A 3LS
Thursday 19th October 2006 6.30pm
Featured speakers include those organising support for Mr Abu-Jamal in France -- Claude Guillaumaud-Pujol, Le Collectif Unitaire National pour le Soutien de Mumia Abu-Jamal (United National Collective for the Support of Mumia Abu-Jamal); Germany -- Jürgen Heiser, Internationales Verteidigungskomitee (International Defence Committee).[size= ]
For more information: Legal Action for Women 020 7482 2496, 07956 316 899 law@crossroadswomen.net
Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award winning journalist who has spent 24 years on death row,is at the forefront of a growing movement against the "death penalty" including in the US fuelled by emerging evidence of hundreds of people wrongfully convicted and only exonerated after years on death row. His fight for a fair trial has won the support of tens of thousands of people around the world including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, the European Parliament, Alice Walker, Paul Newman, Sister Helen Prejean, Danny Glover, Rage Against The Machine, the Detroit and San Francisco City Councils, Amnesty International, and many others. Various cities, including Paris , have bestowed honorary citizenship upon him.
Robert R Bryan, distinguished lawyer based in San Francisco , has specialised in death penalty litigation for three decades, and is lead counsel in various murder cases pending at the federal and state level. Mr Bryan became lead attorney for Mumia Abu-Jamal in 2003, and has re-launched the legal defence of Mumia Abu-Jamal. In December 2005 the US Court of Appeals accepted submissions for a review of a number of key issues in Mr Abu-Jamal’s case. This is the first time that any court has made a ruling which could lead to a new trial.
In July this year, with his associate, Professor Judith L Ritter, Mr Bryan submitted the opening brief to the Court of Appeals. Early next year there will be oral argument before a panel of three judges. This is a crucial moment in this case, which is now moving swiftly through the courts to a definitive decision.
Notable cases where Mr Bryan has been lead attorney include representing Anna Hauptmann, widow of Richard Hauptmann executed in 1936 in New Jersey for the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. and Jimmy Eagle indicted for the killing of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He is legal commentator for ABC television in San Francisco and lectures widely on the death penalty and human rights in the US and Europe .
Mr Bryan’s London Report is hosted by Ian Macdonald QC who with Legal Action for Women initiated a letter earlier this year, now signed by over 150 UK lawyers, highlighting the racism of Mr Abu-Jamal’s trial and asking the court to redress this grave injustice. Mr Macdonald is a distinguished criminal trial lawyer and a leading authority on immigration law, author of the standard text Macdonald's Immigration Law and Practice used by immigration practitioners, officials, adjudicators and judges. He was head of Garden Court Chambers until 2003 and is known for notable cases such as the Mangrove Nine whose case against conspiracy was fought and won in the context of massive community support, and as author of the path-breaking report Murder in the Playground, an Inquiry into Racial Violence in Manchester Schools, following the murder of 13-year-old Ahmed Ullah . He was leading counsel for Duwayne Brooks, friend of Stephen Law rence and key witness in the government Inquiry into his racist murder.
Legal Action for Women, founded in 1982, is a grassroots anti-sexist, anti-racist legal service for all women and their families. LAW combines access to a network of sympathetic lawyers with experienced lay workers. Its insistence that no case is “hopeless�, that something can always be done, has won LAW recognition including from distinguished legal professionals. LAW has helped prevent many injustices and set important precedents including for the first private prosecution for rape in England .[size=
] Notes for Editors
Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of killing a policeman in 1982. The US government's determination to kill him has to be seen in the context of its treatment of other journalists, many of whom have been killed for trying to speak the truth. Mr Abu-Jamal had no criminal convictions before his 1981 arrest. The concerted campaign to deny him a fair trial and execute him strongly suggests that he is being tried for his record as an outstanding campaigning journalist who exposes injustice particularly against Black people and other people of colour in Philadelphia .
He continues his journalistic work from prison recording weekly Dispatches From Death Row, incisive radio commentaries which are broadcast on 100 stations, and writing for other publications. He has published five books including Live From Death Row and most recently We Want Freedom: a Life in the Black Panther Party.]
His work as a ‘jailhouse lawyer’, providing legal advice to other prisoners, led to an honorary position with the prestigious National Law yers Guild in the US . His Jailhouse Law yers will soon be finalised and published.
Summary of some of the injustices of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s trial and subsequent hearings
A court stenographer heard the trial judge, Albert Sabo say during the trial in reference to Mr Abu-Jamal: "Yeah, and I'm going to help'em fry the N****r.� Judge Sabo sentenced more people to death than any other sitting judge in the US and was known as an avowed racist.
The defense lawyer did not interview a single witness in preparation for the 1982 trial, and lacked adequate funds for defending a capital case. Mr Abu-Jamal had no money to retain competent counsel, an investigator, or needed experts in such fields as pathology and ballistics.
The prosecutor systematically removed qualified African Americans from the jury. He also argued for the death penalty because of Mr Abu-Jamal’s membership in the Black Panther Party, a practice later condemned as unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. The racism of Philadelphia 's courts has resulted in 120 people being placed on death row, all but 13 non-white.
According to the medical examiner, the policeman was killed with a .44 calibre gun. Mr. Abu-Jamal's pistol, which he was licensed to carry as a night-time taxi driver, was .38 calibre. The trial jury never heard about this contradiction.
The police never tested Mr Abu-Jamal's gun to see if it had been recently fired. They did not even examine his hands to see if he had fired a gun.
It was claimed at trial that Mr Abu-Jamal stated, at the hospital shortly after the shooting, that he fired the fatal shots. Yet, that was contradicted in a written police report by the officer who was with Mr Abu-Jamal from the moment he was placed in the paddy wagon at the homicide scene until he went into surgery for removal of the bullet lodged near his spine.
William Singletary, a Vietnam veteran and local businessman, saw the whole incident and said that Abu-Jamal was not the shooter. However, the police forced him to change his story and intimidated him into leaving Philadelphia .
Other key witnesses, such as Veronica Jones who at the 1995 hearing testified in support of Mr Abu-Jamal, were harassed into initially giving false testimony.
