Cynthia White

edit

Why does this not mention that 1) Cynthia White was never even near the scene, she simply lied about it, and 2) she provided this concocted lie (which, I might add, was partially proven false) to support the prosecution's side in return for her prostitution charges being vacated. Thus it served as a strategic advantage for the prosecution; she would serve as lead witness, and the story would be wholly accepted as true. This is because the presiding judge, Albert Sabo, was a racist and completely biased against Abu-Jamal. Sabo was willing to believe anything that implicated Abu-Jamal, an outspoken and politically charged African-American, no matter how inconsistent and false. McGill was well aware of this and used Cynthia White's false testimony, obtained through the prostitution charge deal, as the basis for all of the prosecution's case.

The death certificate information was actually inconsistent and highly suspicious; the fingerprints for the person listed on the death certificate, one "Cynthia Williams aka Mildred Saunders" did not even match Cynthia White's. While White was reputed to have died in 1992, the death certificate was actually listed as being issued in 1997, when this issue came up after Pamela Jenkins said that she had seen Cynthia White earlier that year. Moreover, I remember reading that the social security number from the death certificate in question was registered to a Puerto Rican woman. While it was known that White had very many aliases, why would her social security number be registered under a different name than her death certificate?
