Hollywierd's Poster Child Cop Killer

This case has been going on since 1981. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 1989 and in several subsequent appeals. Meanwhile, in 2001, a Federal judge overturned Abu's death sentence on a technical argument pertaining to jury instructions. The DA appealed. At the same time, the defense wants a new trial. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on these issues this week.

Wesley Cook has been the Left's poster child for "Death To The Pigs." That's why he's their hero - he stuck one to the cops.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

No doubt some of these appeals spanned the time that Rendell was DA and Mayor in Philadelphia. I wonder if Midge Rendell who is on the third circuit recused herself from sitting on the three judge panel?

"He realizes that death is just a few doors away," said his attorney, Robert R. Bryan, a San Francisco lawyer who specializes in death-penalty appeals.

The sooner he steps through that door, the better. The fact that Cook garners as much attention and support as he goes is disgraceful.

This creep has escaped justice for far too long.

Officer Faulkner served the system faithfully. It is time for it to do the same for him and Maureen.
