Supporters of Mumia Abu Jamal, the nation’s best known political prisoner, fear a Pennsylvania judge may be backing away from his order that the Philadelphia district attorney’s office turn over all of its files on the case. Sophia Williams, of the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home, said “We’re really in a lingering state, where Mumia’s life still hangs in the balance.” Abu Jamal’s lawyers say the DA was politically cozy with the Fraternal Order of Police, which demanded that the radio journalist be executed in the killing of a cop.
