More like anything to distract the American people and divide them. Meanwhile the Occupiers/Radicals pay no attention to the real problems created the DOJ as it cherry picks which laws it will enforce and sues states for any opposition to the Obama administration's amnesty policies do they?
Question? Has anyone ever been wrongly convicted, and sent to death row under our justice system?
Just asking.
Question, has anyone ever had the evidence stacked against them in a fair trial where they were convicted?
Answer:yes.
Quote:
Prosecution case at trial The prosecution presented four witnesses to the court. Robert Chobert, a cab driver who testified he was parked behind Faulkner, identified Abu-Jamal as the shooter. [31] Cynthia White, a prostitute, testified that Abu-Jamal emerged from a nearby parking lot and shot Faulkner. [32] Michael Scanlan, a motorist, testified that from two car lengths away, he saw a man, matching Abu-Jamal's description, run across the street from a parking lot and shoot Faulkner. [33] Albert Magilton, a pedestrian who did not see the actual murder, testified to witnessing Faulkner pull over Cook's car. At the point of seeing Abu-Jamal start to cross the street toward them from the parking lot, Magilton turned away and lost sight of what happened next. [34]
The prosecution also presented two witnesses who were at the hospital after the altercation. Hospital security guard Priscilla Durham and Police Officer Garry Bell testified that Abu-Jamal confessed in the hospital by saying, "I shot the motherf***er, and I hope the motherf***er dies." [35]
A .38 caliber Charter Arms revolver, belonging to Abu-Jamal, with five spent cartridges was retrieved beside him at the scene. He was wearing a shoulder holster, and Anthony Paul, the Supervisor of the Philadelphia Police Department's firearms identification unit, testified at trial that the shell casings and rifling characteristics of the weapon were consistent with bullet fragments taken from Faulkner's body. [36] Tests to confirm that Abu-Jamal had handled and fired the weapon were not performed, as contact with arresting police and other surfaces at the scene could have compromised the forensic value of such tests. [37][38]

Yes. This isn't one of them.
Really, this is like the Tupac was shot because he was a leader BS. Nah, he was riding in a car with Shug Knight.
I wouldn't ride in anything short of an armored personnel carrier with Shug sitting next to me.
