Well, the name is already out, at least in the Cup, so here's the in-detail update on Mutulu Shakur: https://theintercept.com/2022/06/22/mutulu-shakur-dying-prison-cancer/ Supposedly bedridden, but at 125 pounds not really close to death, it seems. Still, he wants out of prison, again, now that his illness has supposedly advanced (but how much is truth, how much is pretense?) Also interesting to me is that the judge who is deciding the case, is Charles S. Haight Jr.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_S._Haight_Jr. Appointed by President Ford (!) and now 91 years old (!). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
