To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of all emails, memorandums, reports, and internal communications regarding death row inmate Mumia Abu Jamal, who was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia police officer in 1982, and whose case has recently been cleared for appeal at a higher court by Philly DA Larry Krasner: https://www.philly.com/news/mumia-abu-jamal-appeal-larry-krasner-withdraw-pennsylvania-supreme-court-20190417.html?fbclid=IwAR2lS_g2IZEyWRDuNfek0Fn9_0_rMK5OPitkfAFrfR2IxigNxo_tdrNnKSw

Please limit your search to documents produced between 2012-2019. If it helps to narrow your search, you may limit it to the following keywords: "Mumia Abu-Jamal," "cop killer," "appeal," "Ronald Castille," "Larry Krasner," "DA Krasner," "Judge Leon Tucker," "Daniel Faulkner," "Maureen Faulkner," and "Judith Ritter."

I request that I be properly classified as a news media requester. I am an intern for MuckRock, and I am requesting this information in that editorial capacity. MuckRock is widely known for its investigative work as well as historical pieces based on public records requests.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Liam Knox

Hello,

I find your assertion that the Philadelphia Police Department has 0 internal email communications with the keyword "Mumia Abu Jamal" from the past 7 years to be completely unbelievable. Please conduct your search again, this time focusing on the email server of the police commissioner Richard Ross .

Thank you,

Liam Knox
