Mumia Abu Jamal, a journalist and former member of the Black Panthers, has been on death row since 1982 for the alleged murder of a police officer. Twenty-four year-old William Francome is a kind and educated young Englishman with a marked political conscience, who was born the very day the crime was committed.
