Mumia Abu Jamal

We have been watching the movie about Mumia Abu Jamal and him shooting the cop. He was on death row and is still on death row today. I personally think he didnt do it but was involved, and doesnt want to snitch on the guy that did do it. They dont have much evidence to prove he did do it, although they have a lot that makes you kinda think he didnt do it. At least not alone.
      Should cop killing be treated differently than "regular killing?" No, because either way no matter what you are or do a person is a person and there is someone out there that really cares about that person. Cop killings should be treated very serious but all killings should be treated seriously.
     Should someone from Death row be "celebrated" in the media? Should they be allowed to make money from a book? I dont think they should be celebrated in anyway what-so-ever but I dont see the problem with them writing a book and selling it because if they do get money for it, it will just show them what their really missing out on because they wont be able to spend it on anything because they are on death row meaning they will die soon.
     Should someones political beliefs be held against them in a trial? No I dont think so because freedom of belief and they have every right to believe what they want and to hold that against them is wrong when they have the freedom to believe what they want.
