nternet'te adalet sava??
?NTERNET'TE sörf yaparken, Amerika'da idama mahkum edilen
Jimmy A. Dennis ile ilgili haberleri okuyan Petra E. Richter adl? Alman kad?n,
suçsuzlu?una inand??? adam?n kurtar?lmas?
için kampanya ba?latt?.
Richter, önce iki tan?ktan birine yalan ifade verdi?ini itiraf ettirdi. Dennis'in kendisiyle de görü?en Richter, mahkumun adresini ve öyküsünü ?nternet arac?l???yla tüm dünyaya duyurdu. Buna ra?men 2 k?z çocuk babas? olan Dennis, hala idam? için gün say?yor. Ancak mahkemenin de gözard? edemeyece?i baz? gerçekler var.
7 Ocak'ta ölecek
BUNLARDAN en önemlisi bir tan???n ifade de?i?tirmesi. Öbürü ise suç aletinin bulunamamas?. Öte yandan tan?klara göre katil, 1.80 metre boyunda ve 90 kilo a??rl???nda. Oysa Dennis'in boyu 1.66 metre, a??rl??? ise sadece 60 kilo. Dennis'le ilgili temyiz ba?vurusu Temmuz ay?nda reddedildi. ?imdi Richter'in hedefi temyiz ba?vurusuna olumlu cevap almak. 28 ya??ndaki Jimmy, 1991'de 17 ya??ndaki Chedell Williams'? öldürmek suçuyla tutuklanm??, 7 Ocak 1999'da idam edilmesine karar verilmi?ti.

"The Source, (the Magazine Of Hip Hop, Culture, And Politics)"
February 1999 Edition -
American magazine distributed throughout the US, the UK, and
Canada.
Pages 118-120 features photos of and an essay on death row by Mumia
Abu Jamal.
In the final two paragraphs of the story (found on page 120),
Mumia writes,
(to an audience of mostly young music fans):
"Death
Row is also a world in which hip hop is created by some of its
denizons and is enjoyed by some of its
younger residents. Cool C ?
He's here. So is James
"Shorty" Dennis, a back up singer and
songwriter for a number of artists
on the Philly rap scene.
Despite evidence that points to
Dennis' innocence, the court
slam-dunked him recently.
He is, as of this writing, laboring under a
death warrant.
Aint this (death row) a great
place to find inspiration for writing?
Its a man made hell, a churning,
roiling madhouse manufactured to
push people to the brink. It ain't
nothing slick. It ain't nothing to look up to.
It ain't hip, y'all.
But its real. As real as death. There it is. "
