Livingston Responds to Mumia Decision and Conroy Murder
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 27, 2008
Michael Livingston, candidate for Congress in the Second District, today made the following statement:
“I am saddened by the appearance of two news items in close proximity today. The first relates that Mumia-Abu Jamal, with the assistance of the Harvard Law School, National Lawyers Guild, and other left-wing organizations, has been granted a new penalty hearing in the murder of officer Daniel Faulkner. The second tells of Sean Patrick Conroy, who was murdered on a busy SEPTA platform with no one coming to his aid.
If our city, and our country, continue to provide more assistance to convicted killers than to ordinary citizens, it is no wonder that we have a crime problem.”
Livingston’s opponent, Chaka Fattah, supports a new trial for Mr. Abu-Jamal, a position rejected by the Court of Appeals.

I am just as appalled by the decision and murder, and will vote for you because I am mad over a Congressman that can’t serve his own residents but can serve a convicted killer.
