This episode is about Mumia Abu-Jamal. A journalist, former Black Panther, and outspoken critic of police brutality. In 1981, Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia police officer and sentenced to death the following year. In 2011, the prosecution agreed to reduce his sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Today, we will explore Mumia’s life and the case that continues to be one of the most hotly debated in modern American history.
