HOW DID HBO MISS THE 1982 BALLISTICS TESTS RESULTS?
The trial record, which HBO apparently just did not bother to read, unequivocally shows that a trace metals test confirmed the presence of primer lead on Officer Faulkner’s jacket, and established that he had been shot in the back from a distance of less than 24 inches. Only two people were seen by the five eyewitnesses to have come that close to Officer Faulkner — William Cook and Mumia Abu-Jamal.
