Current legal situation: On Dec. 18, 2001 Judge Yohn threw out Mumia’s death Sentence. There can be no question that the lifting of the death sentence is a concession to the movement to free Mumia. BUT, The judge did not overturn the conviction and ignored all evidence of Mumia’s innocence. The judge ordered a new sentencing hearing, therefore, Mumia is still under threat of being sentenced to death. Mumia is innocent and we demand his freedom.
