Petition for Amnesty or Commutation of Sentences for Mondo We Langa and Ed Poindexter

The Issue

Mondo (AKA David Rice) and Ed were the leaders of the Omaha Chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1970, and were convicted of murder.  The Directions of then FBI Head J. Edgar Hoover were to get Panther Party members even if it required falsifying evidence.  Hoover's Counter Intelligence Program was later determined inconsistent with the principles of a Democracy by the Frank Church Senate Committee.
