actually i think there is a mistake in irelands date
in july 2001, we had 3 refendums in ireland. One was for recognising the International Criminal Court, another was for the treaty of nice and a third was for nabolitioning the death penalty from our constituiton i think so to be correct, ireland would have abolished the death penalty in 2001 and not 1990 that's to the best of my knowledge though i do think that the only crime that allowed a death penalty was for murdering a gardaí (irish policeman)

Mumia Abu Jamal's crime isn't political, it's politicized.
Killing a cop isn't free speech.

Another man actually confessed to the murder of Officer Falkner yet this has been ignored because the Philly PD refuses to admit they made a mistake.

Most people talk about bias and refuse to believe anything bad about their favourite politician.
E.g. Clinton didnt transfer computers to China! or Bush didnt transfer computers to China! O.K. we all realise that bias plays an important part in partisan politics and that there is a huge amount that bias can change when it comes to facts. O.K. so why do we arbitrarily kill people who are found guilty in a court that is full of easily swayed or biased jurors and judges? In England several people have been found innocent 20,30, 40 years down the line and they are happy to have been freed and to have eventually gained their freedom. What justification is there for the death sentence?

 He was caught red-handed! The only people who say Mumia didn't do it--which doesn't include Mumia--are leftist college dropout hippies who feel they need their clever conspiracy theories to feel good about themselves for sympathizing for an "oppressed" man who's being held down by The Man.
