In Class we discussed Abu-Jamal and his essay Live from Death Row. The link above suggests that he had an unfair trial, that he wasn't even involved at all in the murder, that it was all sort of "made up" after he pressed police brutality charges. Live from Death Row illustrates a racist and inhumane setting for the 'dead waiting to die a second time'. Though his article is persuasive, and so is this link, where do they get the information from, and of course, how much bias is involved? Also, at the end of L.F.D.R. he throws in a last memory he has of his daughter, to try and bring sympathy, but what about the families of the police officers that were killed?
