By Mark Jakubik

Philadelphia Weekly, one of our local indpendent newspapers, this week ran a very interesting profile on local defense attorney Michael Coard. I do not know Mr. Coard personally, but I have had the privilege of seeing him work in court. Based upon what I have read, I don’t think that he and I would see eye to eye on a Holy Host of issues (including the guilt of Mumia Abu Jamal).
