STATEMENT FROM MUMIA ON CHANGE IN LEGAL DEFENSE

From Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition:

Robert Bryan no longer represents Mumia and does not speak for him in court or out.  The statement by him at the Rosa Luxemburg Conference (erroneously sent out) does not represent what Mumia or ICFFMAJ or FMAJC thinks about what transpired between Bryan and Mumia or Bryan and the Movement.

Dear Bros, Sistas & Friends,

Ona Move!

As you may know, there has been a change in my representation; but what you may NOT know is that the team that remains has been involved for years -- and you've read their work if you've read the briefs.

So, relax -- they are experienced, intelligent and well-motivated lawyers, who know what they are doing. *

Guess what? In real life, change happens - and this is real life.

I thank y'all for respecting my decision in this matter.

Sometimes, change isn't just good: it's necessary.

Thanx,
Your brother,

Mumia
