The Controversy Continues

The controversy goes even deeper with the prosecutions main witness, a prostitute with multiple arrests named Cynthia White. She was given a deal by the police and in exchange for her testimony against Mumia was given police protection and continued to work her street corner as the police turned a blind eye. The case of Cynthia was not the only one where the police influenced testimony. Multiple of the witnesses testify that their original reports were thrown out by the police and they were forced to re write them in a way that the officers felt was more acceptable. This points to another reason for Mumia’s imprisonment. If he truly was guilty then why would the police have to go through such great trouble to prove it?
