00:00:01.240 - 00:00:25.570

I'm not allowed. Thio speak with other inmates. I'm in a cell with solid door similar thio, this one on Lee. There's no opening whatsoever. Uh, it's about, uh, six by 4.5 cell on their day in, day out, 24 hours. Eso The treatment has been very abusive

00:00:25.580 - 00:00:47.960

on and a Sfar us the attitude of the police. There's a hostile attitude, and just recently I was put on punishment for 15 days where I wasn't fed it all on Lee. Half a cup of green substance that I couldn't eat. Andi thing has been the

00:00:47.970 - 00:01:10.870

treatment. Why do you think it's happening in the first place? That the police here are merely an arm of the establishment? Their purpose is to protect the establishment and punish those who disagree with the goals and the activities of the establishment and eso. There's a necessary

00:01:10.880 - 00:01:32.910

contradiction between what I stand for and what thing establishment and their protectors stand for. What's your impression of the demonstrators? Outside have been outside the courthouse every day since this trial began. Three. The people, The community that's given support to me, um, have helped me to

00:01:32.920 - 00:01:52.180

keep a high spirit They're my inspiration. And without them, it would be impossible for me. Thio keep the strength to go through this Radar deals. Did you have anything that you want to say That hasn't been asked, Ewing Onley that I'm sure that we will be

00:01:52.190 - 00:02:08.140

victorious. Have a verifying counsel, Mr Gary and the rest of the staff and that I'm convinced. And very secure and a victory here we have you been able to see just about anybody that you want to out of your family or your fiance. Have you been

00:02:08.140 - 00:02:29.240

able to see them? Uh, I'm allowed visiting three times a week, but even this is, uh, carried on for the police with a hostile attitude. They say abusive things to, uh, my visitors, Uh, they don't give the time that other prisoners get. And it's strictly sort

00:02:29.240 - 00:02:46.400

of arbitrary kind of treatments, not only to me, but to the other panthers who were here in jail at this stage of the trial. How confident do you feel that you're going to get justice? Uh, with the present system of the court structure, it will be

00:02:46.400 - 00:03:05.960

impossible for me to get justice. But I'm confident that we will uh, revolutionized this institution before this trial is over. If if it's not revolutionized, if there are, uh, very, uh, of great changes, then of course I won't get justice, but I'm very I'm very hopeful

00:03:06.060 - 00:03:21.240

that will be able to make some changes in this institution. Mr. Cleaver said yesterday that the evidence, when it is shown, will be so overwhelming and your favor that any jury picked from these 47 would be embarrassed not to let you go. You feel this is

00:03:21.240 - 00:03:44.500

right? Yes, that I feel that America is embarrassed, Period, not only with individual institutions, but the whole country, because of the activities and oppression of other people of color, such as the Vietnamese people and the Latin American people. So America has been able to bear her

00:03:44.510 - 00:03:51.660

embarrassment, uh, up in this point. But because the world opinion, perhaps she will withdraw from the field
