...official statement of the Panther Party concerning Alex Rackley's murder, released at a press conference held by Huey P. Newton in New Haven, says that the members of the New haven chapter who allowed this incident to occur were young and immature, and that the Party must stand criticized for allowing a man like George Sams to ever become a member.

Israel got in one last psychological...
