.On October 24, 1970, 15 members
of the Black Panther Party were arrested and charged with the murder
of a Detroit policeman, Glenn Smith.
At the time of their arrest they were
attacked by a police raiding party.
There was firing into and around a
house for 9 hours from which the fifteen brothers and sisters were finally
driven out by tear gas. The last three

their existence. Our programs serve
the people's interests by providing
basic necessities,
food, health care,
clothing, etc. The government understands that through our own programs
people will unify against oppression.
They realize that if we work together
to survive, we can organize to control
our own lives. They fear unity in the
communities because this means disunity within their crumbling structure
and their eventual downfall.

officers.
.In May of this year, all 15 of them
were brought to trial not only for the
murder of.Glenn Smith, who was supposedly ambushed that same day, but
also for conspiracy with the intent to
commit murder of the 40policemen that
surrounded the Detroit Community
Center, back in October,
Throughout the country the agents of
the law always want us to believe that
it is the people who are provoking
the attacks on them. It seems to be a
constant pattern that the police unwarantedly harass and attack the People, particularly
Black Panther Party
members and then scream that they
have been shot at, ambushed, that they
are the victims of unprovoked attack.
We know this to be untrue. As a matter of fact, we understand that the work
we do in the communities of America
is geared toward the survival of poor,
Black people and therefore threatens
,r
' ) , I"' ' I! : ,
It was not until the free breakfast
for school children programs were
established
across the country that
they began to openly attack our Community Centers and homes in full force.
From the murder of Fred Hampton
to the attack on the centers in L,A.
to the raids and attacks on our community centers in New Orleans and
elsewhere.
No one ambushed them
in Detroit,. as they claim; they attempted to ambush our Detroit Chapter and herd them off to the prison
:amps to be railroaded
through the
courts. The trial of members of the
Detroit Branch of the Black Panther
Party lasted for six weeks. Seven days
were spent picking the jury, whichconsisted of ten Blacks and two whites.
The prosecution built its whole case
around one of the defendants, John
Lee, whom they singled out as the
only person who could place a weapon
in the hand of one of the other defendants. They felt that if they dropped
all charges
against him, he would ,
testify (-lie) for the State. So they
dropped the charges against him. When
, ./ ' .'. ,
John Lee was called to the stand,
he refused to testify. He was the only
one who could, according to the prosecution, prove that the shotthatkilleC
Officer Glenn Smith came from thE
community center. Lee refused to uttez
a word. The judge cited him with contempt of coun. They sentencedhim tc
30 days in jail for refusing to testify .And still no word.
These trumped-up charges for this
case were therefore
left in the air
again. So that when the jurors deliberated, for thirty hours over a fiveday period, they felt that there wag
not enough evidence to convict the defendants of murder. However, because
of the forcefully
skillful
manner In
which the prosecution implicated Brothers De Soussure, Fondrun and Johnson, the jurors wished to convict them
of something. Mrs. Angeline Buchanan
was the only juror who held out, for
2 1/2 days, however, because she felt
that there was no evidence to convict
any of the defendants on any charges.
In an interview with Mrs. Buchanan,
she stated that they (the other jurors)
became hostile and threatened her if
she did not make a decision. She finally
did -guilty.
Ho'1{ever, if It had not
been for her firm stand on an acquIttal for all, the charges would neveJ
have been dropped down to felonious
assault for those three brothers. The
acquittal for nine and lesser charges
for three was the jury's compromise.

A new morning has come. With it a new ideology has invaded New York City and perhaps elsewhere as well. The

was ignited in a peoPle's celebration. Not at the prospect

Now, for virtually
the first time in American History
those who wanted so much to believe in the fairness of th
system can see at close range that the concept of eqw
justice under law was merely a convenient smokescree
for the power structure's consistent and relentless de~
truction of human rights and liberties.
It would be ironic indeed if the New York acquitta;
were viewed as proof that the system does indeed worj
Nothing could be further from the truth. It was the syste:
that arrested, indicted and tried these Black defendant.
It was the system that stripped from them years of the:
lives, unmercifully and unjustifiably punished their fam
lies and attempted to ostracize them from human societ.
It was the system which, in total disregard of all of i
most vaunted princiPles of justice and fair play, tried
brutalize and destroy them.
That they were eventually saved is a triumph, not of
destructive
system, but of two juries which, at 101
last, could not bring themselves
to legitimatize the t:
ranny of the law. These verdicts represent, in a micr.
cosm, the revolt of the powerless from the fearful con
mands of those who seek to control and direct the de~
tinies of all of us. Twenty-four Americans decided,
the face of a monstrous evil,
to cry halt to those w.
attempt to equate court decrees with the hangman's no0
and the headsman's blade.
These cases do not mark the beginning of the Gold
Age of Universal Justice. But they do give heart to us (

answered.
One juror said he felt like running up to Judge Murtaugh
and asking him where he thought he was "Mississippi?".
Another said, " ConsPiracy law is like a lasso that is
turned into a hangman's noose that fits every collar size."
Still another said, "This verdict of not guilty was necessary
for everyone's freedom". All in all, twelve peoPle with
their four alternate jurors, unanimously agreed that the
verdict was "Not guilty" on every charge. Without any
disagreement at all, the jury ended the longest trial in the
history of New York with a 90-roinute deliberation.
Way back on April 2, 1969, the government launched
its attacks with the indictment of the "2l", following soon
thereafter with the indictment of the " Chicago 8" , then in
May, 1969, the New Haven Chapter of the Black Panther
Party was indicted for murder, and in a phony hunt for
George Sams, the government attacked and destroyed officesof the Black Panther P~rty in several cities across
the nation and finally indicted Bobby Seale also for murder in Connecticut. These attacks culminated in the murder of Fred Haropton and Mark Clark on December 4,
1969, in Chicago, Illinois.
Besides Ericka and Bobby,
Angela Davis and Ruchell Magee, the Berrigans, in Harrisburg, and countless others around the nation, the govemmnet has been attacking ever since.
The verdict in the New York 2l case is the first step in
the fight back, hopefully to be followed quickly by a victory
for Ericka and Bobby and on to victory in California for
Angela and Ruchell. In each case, the fight back will continue to prove that through struggle and determination and
the support of the peoPle, freedom can be a reality for

LOS ANGELES,
Dee. 30-Franko
Diggs, a captain of the Los Angeles Black
Panther Party, was mllrdered at 120 St.
and Main St. on Dec. 19, according to a
statement made today by Panther spokesman Mike Pennywell. The murder received
no coverage in the local newspapers. A
public funeral was planned for I p.m.,
Thursday, Jan. 2, at the Victory Baptist
Church, 4802 McKinley Avenue.
In a statement to The Militant, Pennywell described the murder of Franko Diggs
as "an attempt to liquidate the leadership
of the Black Panther Party by the racist
power structure. ...Captain
Franko had
no real familybut he had a big family
here in L. A. that loved him very deeply,
the Black Panther Party. ...We
will intensify our struggle until there will be no
more cold-blooded murders of our people."
Funds to help with the funeral expenses
are needed and can be sent to the Captain
Franko Diggs Fund, 8404 S. Broadway,
Los Angeles, Calif.
