Note from Journalists for Mumia: Below is a new article by Journalists for Mumia co-founder Michael Schiffmann analyzing the trailer for the new documentary about the Mumia Abu-Jamal / Daniel Faulkner case, titled "The Barrel of A Gun" (watch trailer here). The film is scheduled for release in December, and all available evidence about this new film indicates that it will be extremely biased against Mumia. In this new article, Schiffmann explains why the scenario presented by prosecutor Joe McGill (both his original scenario presented at the trial and his modified version recently presented on Michael Smerconish's radio show) is ballistically impossible. To complement the text, there are several photos and diagrams of the 13th and Locust crime scene included at the bottom of this article. You can also view a pdf version of this article that includes additional graphics.

Introduction
In December 2009, African American filmmaker Tigre Hill's film The Barrel of a Gun will be presented to the public, purporting to be a documentary on the December 9, 1981 killing of Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, for which the Black journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted and sentenced to death in 1982.
Significantly, the working title of that film had been 13th and Locust, referring to the intersection in Philadelphia's CenterCity where the incident took place, but that title has now been changed in a way that is by no means incidental.
The trailer of the new movie is now out, and put in a nutshell, it strongly implies that the killing of Officer Faulkner was the direct result of a long-harbored hatred of the police on Abu-Jamal's part and maybe even a planned hit engineered by Abu-Jamal and his brother Billy Cook.
