Description
In the first independent book on the case, which arrives at conclusions not by conviction but by reportage, investigative reporter Dave Lindorff offers explosive new evidence about the prosecution, the defense and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Consider: The evidence being kept hidden from the public-by both the defense and the prosecution.
New evidence to show presiding Judge Sabo had made up his mind about the case-and the punishment-before the trial's end.
The extent of police corruption-not just in Philadelphia, but of a third of those working directly on the case.
The disastrous missteps of Abu-Jamal's appellate lawyers and the secret flaws of his new defense team.
The struggle over Abu-Jamal's new line of defense arguing that a hit man may have been involved.
New evidence about the blurted out confession Abu-Jamal is alleged to have uttered.
What Judge Yohn, who set aside the death sentence, missed entirely.
And the missing evidence that reveals the presence of another participant at the shooting scene. A compelling page-turner by an investigator who never stops digging. Wherever you started on this famous case, Lindorff will leave you with an entirely new perspective.
