Perhaps the evidence is good, perhaps the guy should get out, but shouldn’t someone be representing the interests of the victim and of the taxpayers?

I think the interests of the victims are best served if the person that actually committed the crime is found. Keeping someone in jail that did not commit the crime does not serve their interest.

You know, this thread would be a good place to make up a Free Mumia ping list at FR.

Actually, Mumia should fry, and should not be used as an example here. I did more checking and found the guy this prosecutor replaced was none other than Fred Wade, of Jack Ruby and Roe vs Wade fame, who had admittedly wrongly convicted several people in his zeal to fight crime. Sounds like this prosecutor is cleaning up the mess created by his predecessor.

Check around some more. The Republican that Watkins replaced wasn't named Wade. And the prosecutor in Roe v. Wade and of Jack Ruby wasn't named Fred Wade.

So, now that you've established that you know nothing about the situation, do you have anything more to add?
