William Singletary, 65, Courageous Witness of Mumia's Innocence (tags)

"I learned from William Singletary's wife, Jeannette, that he died this morning.

For that Bill suffered severe personal and financial consequences. I've known Bill since June 1990 when he came forward with his eyewitness testimony for Mumia and as a witness at the PCRA hearing in 1995, when I was co-counsel for Mumia." -Rachel Wolkenstein
