DESCRIPTION:J. PATRICK O'CONNOR\nAuthor of _The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal_\nEditor and 
 publisher of Crime Magazine\n\nAt long last ... the truth.\n\nSentenced to 
 death in 1982 for allegedly killing a police officer named Daniel Faulkner, 
 Mumia Abu-Jamal is the most famous death row inmate in the United States, 
 if not the world. This book is the first to convincingly show how the 
 Philadelphia Police Department and District Attorney’s Office efficiently 
 and methodically framed him. It takes you step-by-step through what 
 actually transpired on the night Faulkner was shot, including positioning 
 each of the witnesses at the scene and revealing the identity of the 
 killer. It also details the entire trial and fully covers the tortuous 
 appeals process. The author, a seasoned crime reporter, writes in the 
 language of hard facts, without hyperbole or exaggeration, unfounded 
 accusation, or finger-pointing, to reveal the truth about one of the most 
 hotly-debated cases of the twentieth century.\n\nJ. Patrick O'Connor is the 
 editor and publisher of Crime Magazine. He has worked as a reporter for UPI 
 and as editor of Cincinnati Magazine, associate editor of TV Guide, and 
 editor and publisher of the Kansas City New Times.\n\nCopies of _The 
 Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal_ will be available for purchase and signing 
 after the program.\n\nFree and open to the public -- Be a part of the 
 studio audience!  Wheelchair accessible.\n\nPart of the "Other Voices" 
 television series produced by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.  
 Broadcast live on Mid-Peninsula Community Media Cable Channel 27, webcast 
 at www.communitymediacenter.net, and rebroadcast throughout October -- 
 schedule at PeaceandJustice.org/index.php?topic=tvschedule.\n\n"A complex 
 and compelling read that rivals established TV hits while tackling real 
 life injustice." —Booklist \n\n"O’Connor sets forth a careful, 
 well-constructed argument. Whether it changes minds one way or the other 
 remains to be seen, but, he urges, it is time for a new trial." —Kirkus 
 Reviews \n\n"Factual, balanced, and fair to all sides . . . O'Connor has 
 studied this case and has drawn conclusions based on reflecting upon the 
 facts." —Linn Washington, author, _Black Judges on Justice_ \n\nSponsored
