Both appeals address the conflicting police testimony on dynamite and new scientific testing of the 911 tape that establishes DuanePeak did not make the deadly phone call as he had claimed.
Poindexter asked the Nebraska courts for review and in 2008 was told by the Douglas County District Court that it didn't matter where the dynamite was found or who found it. Last year the Nebraska Supreme Court told Ed that it didn't matter who made the 911 call.
A3N: How has the mainstream media done with reporting on the Omaha Two?
MR: Poorly. The national media has largely ignored the case and the regional media has failed to explore the COINTELPRO aspect of the prosecution. Almost all Nebraska media accounts of the Omaha Two contain factual errors of some sort and glaring omissions of relevant facts. Anyone relying on the mainstream media about this COINTELPRO case is sadly both misinformed and under-informed.
Racism and the stigma against the Black Panthers is partially to blame, while COINTELPRO media manipulation was another factor in early reporting on the case. Why the media continues to ignore this important case today is a mystery to me.
