Thirty-seven years ago, Mumia Abu-Jamal shot and killed a young police officer, Daniel Faulkner, who had stopped his brother at a traffic light. He was convicted by a jury and sentenced to death.
What has happened since has been a travesty of justice and a continuing ordeal for the officer’s widow, who became so agitated when an appeals court judge granted her husband’s murderer the chance for another trial, the judge had her removed.
Prosecutors agreed to a sentence of life without parole, and Abu-Jamal’s final appeal was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 2012. However, the judge ruled on Thursday that former Justice Ronald Castille should have recused himself because of statements he made as a prosecutor about police killers that suggest potential bias.
During a routine traffic stop on a vehicle belonging to Abu-Jamal’s younger brother, William Cook, Officer Faulkner got into a physical confrontation with Cook. Abu-Jamal was in the vicinity and observed the fight, ran over and shot Faulkner in the back and, later, in the face.
Odds are his high-powered attorneys already have the judge picked out, PR campaign lined up and book/movie deals in the works.
Oh, and Marc Lamont Hill, who’s tireless rants that Abu was set up, will be welcomed back to CNN for the Marc-Mumia Rage Against the Cops special.
Scumbags, the whole lot of ’em.
Everyone remember The Evergreen State College in Olympia? Several years ago they had this POS give the Commencement speech from his jail cell.
Convicted by an all white jury. Nope, no racism there. Free Mumia!
Did I ever mention that liberals love cop killers?
Listen people, the set-up victim was Officer Faulkner. The Cook brothers (Wesley and William) conspired to have cops summoned to a traffic stop on William. Waiting in ambush was Wesley.
Personally, I want to see Wesley-Jamal walk out of prison. Philly cops will give him a 5-minute head start. BOOM!
Larry the liberal…
Who cares if it was an all white jury. So all whites are racists?
He was a black panther that hates all whites that’s a fact.
Hang this dbag already.
Say that 5 times:
A judge biased against cop killers?
A judge biased against cop killers?
A judge biased against cop killers?
A judge biased against cop killers?
A judge biased against cop killers?
What a world. Of course the judge should be biased against cop killers. You should be biased against cop killers. I should be biased against cop killers. Your uncle should be biased against cop killers.
Fry his ass (about 36 years ago!)
The judge, Leon Tucker, looks exactly like you would think a Judge Leon Tucker would look like.
Larry. Go phuck yer self with an axe handle.
The left needs violent street soldiers.
They are pimps, happy to destroy lives in their queSt for monopolistic power.
Officer Faulkner’s widow has been screamed at and spit on by Mumia supporters. Classy bunch.
The basis of this new appeal effort (if I understand it right) is that one of the Supreme Court Justices back when he was a prosecutor, had made statements that indicate he was biased against cop killers. This is 100% nuts. ALL prosecutors, by their job description, are biased against ALL criminals.
GROUCHO
Many libs are cop killers!
My Jr. year a lib girl, grandaughter of a rich lib “news”paper man, said that America was a rascist country run by rich men. That a rich person could kill and get away with it’ and she would prove it. While in grad school Patty did kill 2 and got a slap on the wrist! She had a bad(IMHO) exJarhead lawyer -F. L. Baily. Later to be on “the Dream Team’ 1 of 3 making 2,000 cartons of sigs an hour. Don’s big supporter was the second of the big$ men on OJ’s team.
I think Patty has died,(a free woman) but she proved her point Rich folk do get away with murder; as she and OJ proved!
Neither of these libs killed a cop; but both murderers were progressives!
He needs to be scooped up and stuffed into a bag and into a bin.
Just like dog shit
This jerk was supposed to be dead from diabetes a year or so ago. Will somebody p.l.e.a.s.e. send him Skittles and iced tea for his birthday this year? April 24.
As long as he gets the “Terrance Johnson” treatment, I don’t care.
Fucker should have been executed decades ago.
