The Controversy

There are many different counts of exactly what happened on the night of the murder. Police officers claim to have heard a confession from Mumia as he got into the hospital while the doctor put in charge of him said that there was no way that he could have said anything at all due to his critical condition. This critical condition might have something to do with the beating that Mumia testified he received on the normally very short ride to the hospital from where he was wounded. The trip that should have taken only a couple minutes took almost a half hour. Even if someone was guilty of murder there is absolutely no reason to ignore their health and well being and deny immediate medical attention as Mumia was.
