U.S. | Police State and PrisonsInterview with “The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal” author J. Patrick O’Connor
J. Patrick O’Connor, author of “The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal”, talks about his theory of events that led to the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. O’Connor asserts Kenneth Freeman killed officer Faulkner during a traffic stop involving an altercation between Officer Faulkner and Billy Cook, Mumia’s brother. O’Connor explains how a corrupt police department set out to silence a local journalist and one of its biggest critics. O’Connor also talks about the history and political context of Mumia’s case including the latest Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.
