...Angela told reporters, "This has been a true victory, a people's victory-not only my release but the abolition of capital punishment." Then she went back to preparing for her trial on murder, kidnaping and conspiracy charges for allegedly providing four guns used in the August 1970 Marin County courthouse shootout in which a judge, two convicts and an accomplice were killed...
Gerald Hawes, an HEW employee who was serving as a grand juror in California's Marin County, recently resigned in disgust at such jury docility. Hawes was on the panel investigating George Jackson's killing in San Quentin, and for background he had read the transcript of the Angela Davis grand jury hearing. Not a single question was asked by a juror in that case, Hawes reports, and in the Jackson case, he says, the prosecutor specifically urged the jurors to ask no questions. Several grand jurors in the Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick case also reported feeling frustrated; they...
...Questin. Nor can anything be done for the 43 cadavers carried out of Attica. Theirs was a final exit.

Held in close confinement in prison, chained when he was taken out to appear in court. Jackson became less of a prisoner during this time than he had ever been before...
...mourn Jackson are oblivious to the fact that three guards and two other convicts died with him. It is equally disturbing that Angela Davis' defenders forget that, whatever her innocence or guilt in the episode, four people, including a judge, Jonathan Jackson and two convicts, died in the Marin County Courthouse gun battle. Surely white racists suspected of purchasing guns to use against blacks should be brought to trial. Why, then, should anyone accused of supplying weapons that were ultimately used for the murder at the courthouse not expect the same justice? Since Angela Davis was a fugitive...
