DVD Reviews of Mumia: A Case for Reasonable Doubt
DVD Review: Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt?
Summary: 5 Stars
Very informative video. Gave insight on a case that I knew relatively nothing about. Also raised the question of whether jurors in US Courts really know how high a standard 'Guilt Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' really is. As a lawyer, I know that the standard means that there is absolutely no rational explanation for the occurrence of a crime, except that the defendant did it. Under the facts as presented in the video, had jurors applied the standard fairly, there is no way this man would have been convicted.DVD Review: Unconvinced
Summary: 3 Stars
As a die hard supporter of the West Memphis Three, Marty Tankleff, Ryan Matthews, Tim Matthews, and others, I'm generally very open to the idea that our criminal justice system erred and concerned about innocent convicted.
While I'm still open to the idea and agree that more investigation should be done, but, the tape left me unconvinced that this is another such case. There's almost always "some doubt", but the question is whether it rises to the level of a "reasonable doubt."
At least he's off death row.
The tape itself was in perfect condition, arrived timely, etc.
DVD Review: Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
This is good to see to help make a more informed choose in saying you believe Mumia is guilty to the letter of the law or if he has enough doubt to be let free. Me saying I believe either way will not do anything. The movie raises some good questions. DVD Review: Have always known
Summary: 5 Stars
The only people who would disagree with this mans story..are those that are a part of the oppressive system of criminal justice..either in Philadelphia or elsewhere.As a current person who knows Mumia snd the entire story, it is easy to see the violations in this case..I can sense the racism and overall lack of fair play as it relates to wanting to keep a voice from being heard..
When one is as articulate as Mumia Abu Jamal, it should be easy to understand how and why Pennsylvania, wants to kill himb and in essense to keep the entire world from speaking thier peace..
That police officer was killed by his own..and Mumia will be free..that is why he is still alive. Get OVER IT
DVD Review: This was interesting new material for me in this case
Summary: 4 Stars
I found it disturbing to the number of questions about the philadelphia da's office in the proof which would lead to a death penalty sentance
Description of Mumia: A Case for Reasonable Doubt
Mumia: A Case for Reasonable Doubt joins the likes of The Thin Blue Line, Brother's Keeper, and Paradise Lost in its depiction of a justice system that is sometimes not conscientious about whom it convicts. Mumia Abu-Jamal had been on death row for 14 years at the time this film was made in 1996, following his conviction in the shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Yet the film makes a persuasive case that events, as told by eyewitnesses whose original statements are claimed to have been either coerced by the police or concocted to please the prosecution, did not unfold the way the investigating officers say they did. A "confession" the police claim they got from Mumia in the hospital (both he and Faulkner were shot) never happened, according to the attending physician who was with Mumia the whole time. Forensic evidence suggests the murder weapon was not the one carried by Mumia, who worked nights as a cab driver, and in any case the weapon had no prints on it. The judge on the case was a member of the Fraternal Order of Police and had the largest murder conviction record of any judge in the country. On the other hand, Mumia, formerly a member of the Black Panthers, refuses to give a full account of what happened the night of December 9, 1981, when the murder occurred. The seeds of doubt sowed by this film should be enough to make anyone crave knowing what really happened. --Jim GayGeneral DVDs
