Who is Arnold Beverly?
Arnold Beverly is a Philadelphia man who rose to prominence during the legal appeals following the 1982 trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal. In 1999, Beverly signed an affidavit confessing to the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Beverly swore that while acting as a hitman for the mob hired by corrupt Philadelphia police officers, he, not Abu-Jamal, killed officer Faulkner.
Abu-Jamal's senior attorneys felt that Beverly was not credible, as no witnesses have testified to having seen Beverly at the scene, and advised Abu-Jamal against using Beverly to support his 1999 appeal. This decision later became a divisive issue among Abu-Jamal's legal teams and supporters.
