"I learned from William Singletary's wife, Jeannette, that he died this morning. Bill was a courageous man who lived fighting to make the truth known that Mumia is innocent in the shooting death of police officer Daniel Faulkner. For that Bill suffered severe personal and financial consequences.

The 48-year-old, who was married with a son, raced to the scene and died after a shootout with republicans from the Official IRA who were armed with two submachine guns and a pistol. ... read full story / add a comment |
