2004 Peace and Freedom Party hopeful, Mumia Abmul-Jaba (birthname Wes Cook), has been in prison since 1981 for killing a Philidalphia Police Man.
get your spellings right Smiley
And there's tons of literature on whether or not Mumia's guilty...it's safe to say there's no really conclusive proof though...

Technically Missouri elected a dead man (Mel Carnahan) over John Ashcroft for Governor in 2000.
I'd vote for any dead man over John Ashcroft.
Governor? You mean Senator.
Patsy Mink was also reelected to the House posthumously in 2002.

You know the story of the Standing Bull Ranch case?
I'd be very careful to call Peltier a murderer. In fact, it'd never occur to me to call him a murderer. It wouldn't occur to me to call him an entirely innocent man, either.

Oh, "convicted murderer" is technically correct. He was convicted for murder, so he's a convicted murderer.
