IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT IN MUMIA'S LEGAL CASE

In response to a request by Mumia's legal team, Judge Yohn has granted permission for the defense to file a supplement brief on the issues raised by the recent Supreme Court decisions on the Effective Death Penalty Act (the two Williams vs Taylor cases). This is good news.

The defense team has until June 2 to file this brief, which cannot exceed 15 pages. The prosecution has until June 23 to reply. It means that the first hearing in Mumia's habeas petition before Judge Yohn will be not be until after June 23.

Even though we now know that Mumia's court hearings won't be until after June 23, this does not mean that we can sit back and relax and wait for the day. We have to work harder - fight to mobalize for the court hearing. We have to hit the streets and get the word out about the hearing.

Ona Move! Long Live the Revolution!
