Mr. Lumumba is the attorney for the Scott sisters today. He also represented them in as their appeal lawyer in 1996-2000, when the case went before the appeal board. Lumumba came into the case after the original defense lawyer, Firnist Alexander, was disbarred. Ms. Primm---Sister Maati is a coordinator of the very effective Free the Scott Sisters Campaign in Mississippi and visits them every week in the women's section of the prison that's about 20 miles from Jackson. Lumumba exhausted the appeals process in 2000, after three attempts and a petition to the governor. Lumumba then ended his work with the case until earlier this year, after the Scott Sisters' cause gained new momentum.
