    5.0 out of 5 stars At last, the real story
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2002
    The case of Mumia Abu Jamal has been a sore point in the history of Philadelphia for some time. It is a case that has polarized people in Philadelphia and around the world. This is the first account to painstakingly analyze the case with an eye on obtaining justice. It is very much NOT a political screed for either side.
    With scholarly thoroughness, Lindorff has given the case a new life. It's all there written in a lively style. In the end, no matter whether Jamal is guilty or innocent, the book uses the facts to make it clear he did not get a fair trial in the highly volatile climate in Philadelphia at the time of the murder.
    The book is essential reading for anyone interested in race, issues of justice and the death penalty in America. It is also the tale of one of our most troubling modern murder mysteries.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Structurally disorganized
    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Let me begin by saying the good things about this book: Having read "Executing Justice" and "The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal," "Killing Time" is definitely the most thoroughly researched and least biased of the three. It is jam-packed with details. The tone throughout is one of skepticism, and I trusted the author to be a genuine investigator rather than anybody with an agenda.

    Lindorff's writing style is where the book goes wrong. The book is 345 pages but only has 12 chapters. While that is not necessarily a defect, I can attest to the fact that the chapters were meandering and poorly individuated. Simple subchapter headings could have gone a long way in order to steer the reader toward what Lindorff was doing at a given time. Without those headings, and with long chapters whose titles didn't make clear what the content was going to be, I lost interest frequently. Lindorff's tone is often pedantic and aimless. He's great at the sentence-level. His paragraphs are passable, but sometimes they suffer from a lack of individuation. The paragraph-to-paragraph flow is where it all breaks down. Sometimes the book was repetitive, leaving me to believe that Lindorff did not sufficiently outline the contents before doing the writing. While reminders of previously-mentioned material can help a reader, the extended repetition of facts just came off as sloppy. For these structural reasons, the book loses a star.

    Buy this book if you, like me, wanted as many facts as you could get regarding Abu-Jamal's trial. If you want a more concise account, stick with "Executing Justice" or "The Framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Did Thomas even read the book?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2005
    Why did Thomas write a review and make no mention of the book? he makes the statment that looking at the evidence will show that Mumia is guilty while if he read the book the author says something diffrent.

    Good job..nice balanced review buddy.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Just more leftwing drivel
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2008
    I began studying the case of Wesley Cook aka Mumia abu-Jamal many years ago. I've read the books by Cook's lawyers. I've studied all the information posted on the IFFMAJ website as well as the Daniel Faulkner website. I've read the entire transcript of the trial and the appeals.

    This is the most open and shut murder case I have ever seen. There isn't a shred of doubt that Cook aka Jamal executed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner while Faulkner lay injured in the street from the first Jamal bullet.

    Far from being "unbiased", Lindorff is a leftwing hack and activist. His books and columns all have the same anti-authority leftwing theme. Calling Lindorff "unbiased" requires the same sort of chutzpah as calling Rush Limbaugh "unbiased."

    This book is little more than leftwing political propaganda. Be suspicious of any teacher or professor who makes it required reading.

    Needed this for a class. Good to see other side of the story and still believe that the man did the crime. Still always want to be fair and see both sides of a story.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Guilt or innocence irrelevant?
    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2004
    I've spent many years studying the Mumia case, in the beginning a supporter of his cause. Lindorff, like many associated with defending Mumia, have dug up ample evidence of the corruption and racism embedded in the government of Philadelphia -- after all, this is a city whose black mayor dropped a firebomb on Mumia's fellow black radicals from MOVE back in the mid-80's and burned down an entire neighborhood.

    The death penalty is certainly wrong and unfairly used and should be abolished, and Mumia almost certainly didn't get a fair trial (though that fault lies with him and his defense as much as the prosecution).

    But any honest review of the evidence leaves no doubt that Mumia is guilty of murdering Daniel Faulkner, and in the first degree. Beyond dispute is the fact that Faulkner was in the process of arresting Mumia's brother when Mumia ran across the street to the scene. In the aftermath, Faulkner lay dead with a bullet in his brain and Mumia lay wounded beside him, with five spent shells in his revolver.

    Fortunately, it appears that Mumia has begun to fade from the stage after his death sentence was overturned and will stand commuted to life without parole, and divorce Mumia from the worthy fight for the overturn of Capital Punishment and a fairer, more equitable justice system.
