PHILADELPHIA, PA - HEADLINE NEWS THE MAKING AN EXONEREE PROJECT

Muti Ajamu-Osagboro, aka, Muti General High Priest, has spent the past 42 years in prison despite two of his co-defendants recanting their testimony in 2003. These men claim that the Philadelphia Homicide Unit threatened and coerced them into lying to convict Muti while they were juveniles. Anna Salvatore, Mikayla Merin, and Clara McWeeney from Princeton University, along with Tashay Campbell from Georgetown Law, reinvestigated the case through the Making An Exoneree program and helped Muti build a parole application, which was ultimately granted. Learn more about his case ahead of Muti's pending release. It's now the year 2025. General Muti has been out on parole for almost 2 years.

Robert "Sugar Bear" Lark was on death row for 38 years and remains in jail in the state of Pennsylvania. The events of an accused murder, trial, and conviction that put a man behind bars is not the story that is in the 'Thin Blue Lie' movie - a 2000 television film directed by Roger Young and starring Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jonathan Neumann (Rob Morrow), who, along with his partner Phil Chadway (Randy Quaid), for exposing Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo (Paul Sorvino) and the Philadelphia Police Department for corruption (observing the years 1976-1978) is in the movie. It was released on August 13, 2000 on Showtime.
According to the articles, suspects were beaten and tortured in interrogation rooms, as well as in many cases murdered, in an effort to meet the high quota of criminal cases solved by Philadelphia detectives. Neumann and Chadway met extreme opposition from the police department, working amidst phone tappings, apartment ransackings, and threats of death and bodily harm.
However, the above-mentioned reference about the methods used by mayor Rizzo and the Philadelphia Police Department for corruption success is in the story (allegedly) that has been told in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Appellee, v. Robert LARK, Appellant case, 1985.

Throughout the movie, Neumann faced a number of ethical dilemmas. First, most of his colleagues did not think that he should pursue claims of torture and death from suspects and a few police even; the city's crime level was at an all-time low, and some people felt that to question Rizzo's police policies would put the city's safety in jeopardy. Second, when interviewing victims of police brutality, Neumann had to assure the frightened victims that they would not be harmed by talking to him, when in fact, they had been threatened by police and warned against talking to and/or cooperating with reporters - may result in repeated jail lockup or even their death. Third, Neumann had to find one or more detectives willing to essentially betray a fellow officers in order to substantiate his claims.
In the case of Robert Lark, aka Sugar Bear, from West Philly and North Philly Street-life upbringing, people felt that to question police polices, City of Philadelphia, district attorney policies, City of Philadelphia and court of common pleas judges polices, City of Philadelphia practices would put the city's safety in jeopardy.
And the cops, the DA and the judges have no remorse over (allegedly) framing an innocent man and almost getting him executed - ongoing, once again.

Philadelphia Front Page News Justice Brief: Executive Orders Signed By U.S. President Donald Trump News - Among Flurry of First-Day Executive Orders, President Trump Issues Order on the Death Penalty Forward news by Death Penalty Information Center frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

Philadelphia Front Page News Justice Brief: Executive Orders Signed By U.S. President Donald Trump News - Among Flurry of First-Day Executive Orders, President Trump Issues Order on the Death Penalty Forward news by Death Penalty Information Center frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

 

 

 

Above: President Donald Trump.

 

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed more than two dozen Executive Orders, includ­ing a call to ​“restore” the fed­er­al death penal­ty. The Order, while lack­ing many impor­tant details, instructs the Department of Justice’s Attorney General to ​“pur­sue the death penal­ty for all crimes of a sever­i­ty demand­ing its use,” includ­ing the killing of a law enforce­ment offi­cer or ​“a cap­i­tal crime com­mit­ted by an ille­gal alien present in this coun­try” and to encour­age state attor­neys gen­er­al to bring state-cap­i­tal charges for these crimes. President Trump also calls on the Attorney General to ​“take all nec­es­sary and law­ful action” to ensure that states with cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment have suf­fi­cient access to the drugs need­ed for lethal injec­tion exe­cu­tions. The Order also directs the Attorney General to seek to over­rule any estab­lished Supreme Court prece­dent that ​“lim­it the author­i­ty of state and fed­er­al gov­ern­ments to impose capital punishment.”

 

Many of the state­ments in the exec­u­tive order sim­ply echo pre­vi­ous cam­paign rhetoric with­out pro­vid­ing impor­tant specifics or address­ing the fact that well-set­tled legal prece­dent or laws would need to be changed by the United States Supreme Court or Congress to make the pro­pos­als a reality.

 

With respect to the recent com­mu­ta­tions of fed­er­al death sen­tenced pris­on­ers, the Executive Order calls on the Attorney General to eval­u­ate the place­ment of each of the 37 men whose fed­er­al death sen­tences were com­mut­ed by for­mer President Joe Biden in December 2024. The Attorney General should take law­ful action to ensure that each of these indi­vid­u­als ​“are impris­oned in con­di­tions con­sis­tent with the mon­stros­i­ty of their crimes and the threats they pose.” The Attorney General, per the Order, should also eval­u­ate whether these indi­vid­u­als can be charged with state-lev­el cap­i­tal crimes and ​“shall rec­om­mend appro­pri­ate action to state and local author­i­ties.” Local elect­ed pros­e­cu­tors have the ulti­mate dis­cre­tion in charg­ing a cap­i­tal case at the state lev­el and may or may not seek the death penal­ty for a vari­ety of rea­sons, includ­ing vot­er pref­er­ence, case fac­tors, and bud­get. Given these fac­tors, it’s unlike­ly state pros­e­cu­tors would choose to pros­e­cute crimes that occurred twen­ty or thir­ty years ago, espe­cial­ly when the defen­dants have already been con­vict­ed and sen­tenced to life with­out parole in federal prison.
