INFO: update on jamil abdullah al-amin (rap brown)
trial
=======================================
ed brown has asked me to disseminate the following
information about the upcoming trial of his brother,
jamil abdullah al-amin:
1. rap is in good spirits and would like for as many
of us as possible to come to the trial. the jury
selection begins january 7 and is expected to
last 2-3 weeks, after which the trial will start
immediately, and is expected to last approximately one
month. ed thinks that it is very important to
have on hand as many supporters as possible from
various segments of the community, so if at all
possible please plan to attend .
2. funds are badly needed to carry out the kind of
fight that this death penalty trial demands. although
rap has indigent status and the state covers
minimal costs, the trial fees are enormous, with four
specialized and highly skilled lawyers, expert
witnesses and other attendant and expenses.
tax deductible contributions should be made payable
and mailed only to:
justice fund
p.o. box 93963
atlanta, ga 30377
( al-amin may also be written in care of this
address).
ed brown says that because it is very important to
present a rounded picture of rap the person, and not
just as"panther", "revolutionary", "muslim",
etc. he is urging that those of us who know/knew rap
in more personal ways reflect on what we know of him
as a human being, and to call his lawyer as soon as
possible with such reflections.
the lead attorney is jack martin--telephone number
404.522.0400.
you may also write in this regard to attorney martin
at :
500 grant bldg.
44 broad st. nw
atlanta, ga 30303
fyi: the other attorneys on the case are :
tarif(michael )warren; bruce harvey; and tony axam.
the trial will be held at atlanta's fulton county
court house, presiding will be judge stephanie
manetes(sp?).
i'm contacting you to ask you to inform all of your
friends, associates and colleagues who believe in rap,
know the historically treacherous nature
of the injudicial system in dealing with black men in
general and black radicals and revolutionaries in
particular,: and/or who are opposed to the
death penalty. our brother's life is literally on the
line.
THIS IS A DEATH PENALTY CASE.
