Black Militant Mumia Abu Jamal Has Right to New Hearing



Mumia Abu Jamal, on death row for a quarter of century, must be sentenced again during a new hearing within 90 days, or his death sentence will be automatically commuted in a sentence of life in prison. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Abu-Jamal's conviction for killing a police officer should stand, but that he should get a new sentencing hearing because of flawed jury instructions. Here, a long video interview recorded in jail.
