#2 Know anything about this chick, El Jefe?

EWING -- Indignant New Jersey troopers blasted Cuban leader Fidel Castro yesterday for calling convicted cop killer Joanne Chesimard a "political prisonerââ and victim of American racism. "We want the rest of the world to know what sheâs about and to make sure they do not receive her as anything but a murderer," said Sgt. Stephen Jones, state police spokesman.
...Chesimard, sitting in the right front passenger seat, opened fire first and the others followed, said state police detective Kevin Torme, lead investigator in the Chesimardâs case.After a hail of bullets, Foerster, 34, and Coston were mortally wounded.
"One of the them executed Trooper Foerster with his own service revolver -- by shooting him twice in the head. On the pavement by Trooper Foersterâs hip was Chesimardâs gun that was jammed," Torme said.
Chesimard, who now calls herself Assata Shakur and is a professor in Havana under the protection of Castro, was sent to the Clinton Correctional Facility in Hunterdon County."She escaped in a well-orchestrated prison break on Nov. 2, 1979," Jones said.The escapee fled to Cuba where she is being given political asylum.
On Tuesday, Castro appeared to call Chesimard, now 57, a victim of "the fierce repression against the Black movement in the United States and has been a true political prisoner."

Well now. It looks like you do.
