Let Judge Dembe know that justice must be done! ONA MOVE!,
On August 17th, while about 2,000 demonstrators rallied outside, State Court Judge Pamela Dembe heard Mumia's lawyers argue why there should be another Post Conviction Relief Appeal. Dembe strongly leaned towards the prosecution's arguement that certain time limits for presenting evidence have expired and therefore the court doesn't have to reopen the PCRA process. Dembe's approach to the hearing was earily like Judge Yohn's denial of a deposition from Arnold Beverly as she hinted that Mumia's innocence or guilt doesn't matter in her courtroom. Mumia's lawyers have until Sepember 7th to file on why evidence of innocence should be heard in court and then the prosecution has until the 21st to file a rebutal. Our demands for Judge Dembe are:
1) That the Arnold Beverly confession be heard by the State Courts
2) That an evidentiary hearing be held in the State Courts to consider all of the evidence pointing to Mumia's innocence
3) That Mumia be present at this hearing and at all legal proceedings in his case
4) That Mumia be released from prison because of evidence of his innocence as well as police, prosecutorial, and judicial misconduct in his original "trial"
We are at the end of the war to save Mumia's life! EVERYONE must act now! We are calling on all organizations, churches and public figures who care about justice to take action now, speak up and be there on Sept. 15.
Mumia is absolutely innocent, the courts know this and are trying to kill him anyway using excuses such as time. Be there on Sept. 15th to let these officials know... NOT ONE MORE INNOCENT PERSON! We must let Judge Dembe know that she MUST do JUSTICE!
ONA MOVE!,
