Dance Benefit to Defend Sagon Penn. Justice on Trial. Event Flyer

San Diego, Afrikan Student Union at San Diego State University, Publisher, 1986. Unbound. Single sheet, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Printed on a single side only. A flyer for a dance benefit concert featuring what are presumed to be local hip hop artists/DJs Cool T and DJ D. Sponsored by the Afrikan Student Union at San Diego State. The benefit was to support Sagon Penn, a community leader in the San Diego area who was charged with murder and attempted murder in an altercation with San Diego police officers who pulled him over in a 1985 traffic stop. During the stop an altercation ensued, with Penn shooting and killing one officer with his own gun, as well as shooting and injuring another officer and a civilian ride along. Penn was eventually acquitted of all charges, claiming self defense, asserting he had been attacked and beaten by the officers. The judge in the trial was critical of the San Diego police force; and in 1988 a San Diego officer who testified for the defense was attacked in his home in Washington, bound, burned with cigarettes and forced to write an apology letter to the officers involved with Penn, before being shot in the head. GOOD condition. A few fold creases present, with other wrinkles and creases to the piece. General toning, minor soiling and discoloration. Three small chips/tears, with minor loss, along the right edge. Good .
