US Supreme Court asked to review Black Panther death sentence:
Pennsylvania has asked the US Supreme court to review the decision that overturned the death sentence of convicted cop killing scumbag Mumia Abu Jamal.
Recently Jamal’s request for a new trial was rejected.
Since he was convicted back in the early ’80s if his death sentence is reinstated can they use the method of execution from the early ’80s? Lethal injection is way too humane for this scumbag.
US Supreme Court rejects new trial for former Black Panther:
Yesterday the US Supreme Court refused to hear arguments for a new trial for convicted cop killing scumbag Wesley Cook. Some of you may know him better by his made-up name Mumia Abu Jamal.
Now if only they’d reinstate his death sentence like the death sentence he gave Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
Don’t believe all the crap about Jamal’s trial being racist. If you read what really happened you’ll realize that Jamal made a mockery out of his own trial.
Ed Asner and Mike Farrell must be crying in their lattes today.
No death for Mumia Abu-Jamal — at least for now:
When I first saw the headline I was angry. Convicted cop killing scumbag Mumia Abu Jamal, birth name Wesley Cook, has been spared the death penalty again. Back in 2001, Abu-Jamal’s death sentence was overturned by U.S. District Judge William H. Yohn Jr. because Yohn felt that the 1982 jury that convicted Abu-Jamal…
…may have mistakenly believed it had to agree unanimously on any “mitigating” circumstances — factors that might have persuaded jurors to decide on a life sentence instead of death.
Because you know he was there at the time. Oh wait, no he wasn’t.
Anyway, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld Yohn’s decision. While I’m greatly disappointed that the Third Circuit didn’t reinstate Abu-Jamal’s death sentence I’m happy that the Free Mumia crowd is looking at this as a huge defeat since they think he’s innocent.
Not only that but like the headline says this isn’t over. Even though I think Abu-Jamal will be dead of natural causes before he actually sees the needle.
And if he gets commuted to a life sentence I actually don’t have much of a problem with that anymore. That is if they put him into the general population. How many two-bit thugs do you think would be gunning for one of the most infamous inmates in the country?
Hopefully, Tony Allen who is more knowledgeable about this particular scumbag will have more insight soon.
And remember kids, if you see anyone holding or displaying a Free Mumia sign don’t forget to ask them for your free Mumia.
So I’m reading the local rag here in Charlotte and I catch an article from back home in Philly. And I have just one word to say. Un-fucking-believable.
Some half-assed judge in Philly decided to overturn convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal’s death sentence. For those of you who may not be familiar with the case, Abu-Jamal shot and killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Abu-Jamal claims he didn’t receive a fair trial and was a victim of a racist judicial system. But at no time has he ever denied shooting Daniel Faulkner. Many celebrities have come to the aid of Abu-Jamal like Ed Asner, Mike Farrel, and Rage Against The Machine.
In a recent documentary, I saw on PBS about Abu-Jamal the evidence was overwhelming against him. A bullet from his registered gun was found in Daniel Faulkner. But liberals and radicals claim that Abu-Jamal deserves a retrial? On what friggin’ grounds? However, since Daniel Faulkner was white and Abu-Jamal was black, it must be a racist system. Apparently, this judge overturned the death sentence for his own personal motives.
This scumbag has been glorified by some people as some sort of hero. Comparing him to the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King. Here’s the thing, Dr. King did not kill a cop.
And lost somewhere in all this is Maureen Faulkner, Daniel Faulkner’s widow. While celebrities are coming to the aid of a convicted cop killer, where are the celebrities coming to the aid of Maureen Faulkner.
And what really fries my ass is that Abu-Jamal has been made an honorary citizen of Paris. The same city that harbored convicted killer Ira Einhorn for years. Just one more reason to nuke France. The world has its priorities all fucked up when we’re supposed to idolize a convicted cop killer.
Abu-Jamal will be resentenced, and he could be sentenced to death again. But as liberal as Philly is, I highly doubt it. But if there is true justice, there’s a needle with his name on it in Pennsylvania.
