A copy of all emails, memorandums, reports, and internal communications produced by, or sent to, DA Larry Krasner's office 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
