Free Mumia NOW Mumia Is An Innocent Man Abolish The Racist Death Penalty Part 1 Of 3 More Info ---UPDATE--- More FACTS Going To...httpwww.partisandefense.orgpubsinnocentintro.html I, MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, Declare 1. I Am The Petitioner In This Action. If Called As A Witness I Could And Would Testify To The Following From My Own Personal Knowledge 2. I Did Not Shoot Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. I Had Nothing To Do With The Killing Of Officer Faulkner. I Am Innocent. 3. At My Trial I Was Denied The Right To Defend Myself, I Had No Confidence In My Court-appointed Attorney, Who Never Even Asked Me What Happened The Night I Was Shot And The Police Officer Was Killed, And I Was Excluded From At Least Half The Trial. 4. Since I Was Denied All My Rights At My Trial I Did Not Testify. I Would Not Be Used To Make It Look Like I Had A Fair Trial. 5. I Did Not Testify In The Post-conviction Proceedings In 1995 On The Advice Of My Attorney, Leonard Weinglass, Who Specifically Told Me Not To Testify. 6. Now For The First Time I Have Been Given An Opportunity To Tell What Happened To Me In The Early Morning Hours Of December 9, 1981. This Is What Happened 7. As A Cabbie I Often Chose 13th And Locust Street Because It Was A Popular Club Area With A Lot Of Foot Traffic. 8. I Worked Out Of United Cab On The Night Of 12981. 9. I Believe I Had Recently Returned From Dropping Off A Fare In West Philly. 10. I Was Filling Out My Log When I Heard Some Shouting. 11. I Glanced In My Rear View Mirror And Saw A Flashing Dome Light Of A Police Cruiser. This Wasn't Unusual. 12. I Continued To Fill Out My Logtrip Sheet When I Heard What Sounded Like Gun Shots. 13. I Looked Again Into My Rear View Mirror And Saw People Running Up And Down Locust. 14. As I Scanned I Recognized My Brother Standing In The Street Staggering And Dizzy. 15. I Immediately Exited The Cab And Ran To His Scream. 16. As I Came Across The Street I Saw A Uniformed Cop Turn Toward Me Gun In Hand, Saw A Flash And Went Down To My Knees. 17. I Closed My Eyes And Sat Still Trying To Breath. 18. The Next Thing That I Remember I Felt Myself Being Kicked, Hit And Being Brought Out Of A Stupor. 19. When I Opened My Eyes, I Saw Cops All Around Me. 20. They Were Hollering And Cursing, Grabbing And Pulling On Me. I Felt Faint Finding It Hard To Talk. 21. As I Looked Through This Cop Crowd All Around Me, I Saw My Brother, Blood Running Down His Neck And A Cop Lying On His Back On The Pavement. 22. I Was Pulled To My Feet And Then Rammed Into A Telephone Pole Beaten Where I Fell And Thrown Into A Paddy Wagon. 23. I Think I Slept Until I Heard The Door Open And A White Cop In A White Shirt Came In Cursing And Hit Me In The Forehead. 24. I Don't Remember What He Said Much Except A Lot Of N-----s, Black Motherfuckers And What Not. 24. I Believe He Left And I Slept. I Don't Remember The Wagon Moving For A While And When It Did For Sometime. 25. I Awoke To Hear The Driver Speaking Over The Radio About His Prisoner. 26. I Was Informed By The Anonymous Crackle On The Radio That I Was En Route To The Police Administration Building A Few Blocks Away. 27. Then, It Sounded Like I.D.'d As M-1 Came On The Radio Band Telling The Driver To Go To Jefferson Hospital. 28. Upon Arrival I Was Thrown From The Wagon To The Ground And Beaten. 29. I Was Beaten Again At The Doors Of Jefferson. 30. Because Of The Blood In My Lungs It Was Difficult To Speak, And Impossible To Holler. 31. I Never Confessed To Anything Because I Had Nothing To Confess To. 32. I Never Said I Shot The Policeman. I Did Not Shoot The Policeman. 33. I Never Said I Hoped He Died. I Would Never Say Something Like That. I Declare Under Penalty Of Perjury Under The Laws Of The United States That The Above Is True And Correct And Was Executed By Me On 3 May, 2001, At Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. Signed MUMIA ABU-JAMAL
