NY Academic Wants Cop Killer Treated Like Martin Luther King, Jr.
video embedded
[From article]
Baruch College History Professor Joanna Fernandez argued that unrepentant convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981 by shooting him five times in the face, should be celebrated in schools just like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She also argued using words like "militant" and "convicted cop killer" to describe Mumia, is racist. Another nice nugget? A California teacher's union feels the same way.

Candace Brito, 27, and Vanesa Zavala, 26, had pleaded not guilty in the death of Annie Hung Kim Pham, who was taken off life support after the fight outside the Santa Ana bar-restaurant in the early morning hours of Jan. 18.

Video footage of the fight was played during Candace Brito and Vanesa Zavala's two week trial which reached a verdict on Thursday
Several jurors cried openly as the verdicts were read on Thursday afternoon. The case had drawn enormous attention after Pham’s death, in part because the brawl that was captured by several bystanders on cellphone video that will provide key evidence in the case.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE PICTURES: Why did Foxy give her boyfriend $100 in cash? Tearful Amanda Knox's secret tryst with lover, days after Italian ex contradicts her account of night of the murder
Amanda Knox, 26, photographed meeting American boyfriend James Terrano in a Seattle park on Wednesday
University of Washington student was seen sobbing and speaking animatedly to Terrano before pair shared hug
At one point, she was also pictured reaching into purse and handing boyfriend what appeared to be $100 in cash
Came just days after Knox's Italian ex-boyfriend contradicted her account of night of Meredith Kercher's murder
Knox and former partner Rafaelle Sollecito were re-convicted in January of Miss Kercher's killing in Perugia, Italy
But Rafaelle Sollecito's lawyer has now said he cannot be sure Knox was with him for first part of evening in 2007
Earlier this week, it was also reported that Italian prosecutors are preparing to use Knox's alleged ties to a cocaine dealer to have her extradited
Miss Knox, who has been in the U.S. since 2011, has vowed never to return to Italy of her own volition

Incredibly, she has forgiven Burton, who is currently serving a life sentence without parole for his cowardly and brutal attack.

Meredith Kercher's Family Damands Amanda Knox Be Jailed
ABC News 20/20 broadcast an hour long interview of Knox on Saturday February 1, 2014. One man was convicted of the murder. His DNA was all over the crime scene. None of Knox's was present, nor any of her boyfriend's DNA. It is curious why the prosecutors and the victim's family find any connection with Knox and her former boyfriend to this horrible homicide. From watching Knox speak answering many embarrassing questions it appears that she was innocent of the crime, or she is an excellent actor. Listening to what she said shows she was not very cunning, and indicated she was clueless about how the criminal justice system works and was unprepared for being thought of as a suspect.
