Him and Sarandon were trying to get a cop killer in Philly off death row. The asshole changed his name to Abdul Jamaal Mummia (or something like that)while he was on death row.

Ed Asner went on Nightline to plead his case that Mummia was set up. When Kopel asked him had he readthe trial transcript, Asner said no because it would be too long and boring and not really mean anything. How the fuck did he know whether or not Mummia got a fair trial? He didn't. And Surrandon is just as bad.

I really never give a shit what any celebrity has to say outside their own damn professions. Some actually do know what they are talking about, but the yare a minority.
