Original sentence: Abu-Jamal's supporters claim that the trial was unfair.Both prosecution and defense were allowed up to 20 peremptory challenges, and the prosecution used 15 of these, giving specific, relevant reaons for each.His detractors respond that:.In addition to a conventional criminal defense, Abu-Jamal raised many political issues in his trial, and begged several times for the court to allow his friend John Africa to testify.In addition, other tests showed the bullet was fired from the same type of gun as Abu-Jamal's.One man, Arnold Beverley, has actually confessed to the murder of Daniel Faulkner.Points asserted in his appeals or by his supporters include:.Several of the witnesses, such as Pamela Jenkins, report being forced to tear up their witness statements and instead sign statements incriminating Abu-Jamal at the scene.The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reviewed the case twice for evidence of racial bias and found none.The bullet was later extracted and tested, and it matched the type, brand, and caliber of a bullet found in Abu-Jamal's gun
