Colin Kaepernick calls for release of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal: 'Free Mumia'
Colin Kaepernick made calls for the Philadelphia district attorney’s office to release Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former member of the Black Panthers who was convicted of killing a police officer in 1981, during a virtual news conference held by supporters on Monday. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback argued for Abu-Jamal’s case in a video statement, alleging that he was “framed” for the killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. “Mumia has been in prison longer than I've been alive,” Kaepernick said.
