You know that’s not the case…you’ve seen my post/thread history!
However, Assata was not convicted of firing the shot that killed Trooper Foerster. She was convicted as an accomplice to his murder under New Jersey’s “aiding and abetting” statute. Under New Jersey law, if a person’s presence at the scene of a crime can be construed as “aiding and abetting” the crime, that person can be convicted of the substantive crime itself.
I don't know that's not the case at all. Your convictions seem to waiver when dealing with people and groups you don't like.
From my OP, these are the words of her attorney:

I don't know why they added her to that list, that evidence would be presented at trial, should she be apprehended.
Doesn't seem like there is enough evidence to judge either way.

Assata Olugbala Shakur is an African-American activist and escaped convict who was a member of the Black Panther Party (BPP) and Black Liberation Army (BLA).

The Black Liberation Army (BLA) was an underground, black nationalist militant organization that operated in the United States from 1970 to 1981. Composed largely of former Black Panthers (BPP), the organization's program was one of "armed struggle" and its stated goal was to "take up arms for the liberation and self-determination of black people in the United States."[1] The BLA carried out a series of bombings, murders, robberies and prison breaks.

You freakin claim her fingerprints were on a bomb and you link me to wikipedia??
Seriously??
Dude, your credibility is shedding here.
Some members of radical groups do commit horrible crimes, murder included. That does not mean that every member of such groups are guilty by association, that is ludicrous and un-American.
Some people want Oath Keepers added to the domestic terrorist watch list, by people I mean law makers... how soon until crimes are committed in their name regardless of whether or not any actual members so much as lift a finger in such activities. You okay with that?

You can't possibly be that thick-headed.
I'm not going to continue arguing with you just because you want to.
Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.
