Mumia still guilty as hell of Cop killing

Interesting turn of events -- from The Associated Press:
Court: Abu-Jamal Deserves New Hearing
An appeals court Thursday upheld Mumia Abu-Jamal's conviction for murdering a police officer 27 years ago but rejected prosecutors' request to reinstate the death penalty for the former Black Panther.

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that because the jury that sentenced Abu-Jamal to die was given flawed instructions in the penalty phase, he must either get a new sentencing hearing or be sentenced to life in prison.
I'm glad that the conviction was upheld. He was caught red-handed and should fry for this. Daniel Faulkner's website (he is the LEO that was murdered) has a lot of articles debunking the mythos that has sprung up around Mumia. Posted by DaveH at March 27, 2008 8:03 PM
