Since I mentioned the bounty on Assata Shakur and the fact that I didn’t have an opinion on her guilt or innocence, I should point you to this letter published in 2000 in which she discusses the charges against her and makes a convincing case for her innocence.
[Update: Of course, you can read the same letter at AllHipHop.com except they don't tell you where they got it or when it was written. Hey, maybe Tom Squitieri should get a job there!]
Davey D. considers the connection between Assata Shakur and hip hop.
