Steal This Radio 108
Mitchel Cohen examines “The Right to a Fair Trial: The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.” Mumia has been on death row in Pennsylvania for 28 years for a crime he insists he did not commit.
We read from Linn Washington’s column in the Philadelphia Tribune, listen to several of Mumia’s recent commentaries, and hear a little about the Liberty Bell 7, arrested in 1999 while demanding a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, and other political prisoners.
In the final segment, Mitchel Cohen recites for the first time his long poem, “The Permanent Carnival” .
