Mumia Abu-jamal murdered officer Faulkner...period.
There is no dispute.
Witnesses saw him shoot Faulkner.
Mumia was shot by Faulkner.
Faulkner was killed by a gun owned by Mumia, incidentally, said gun was found on Mumia at the scene.
At the hospital after the shooting, Mumia admitted to killing Faulkner.
To this day, Mumia has never offered a contradictory explanation.

Mumia Abu-Jamal's fatal shooting of Daniel Faulkner has become one of the most prominent death row cases in the world.I do believe Mumia's sentence has been commuted to life-without-parole. He's off death row.

I think they’re still appealing.
It’s gone back and forth. His lawyers appeal, then the Commonwealth appeals. Best I could find is that arguments were heard in May to re-instate the death penalty.

On his website, the explanation now seems to be “he (Faulkner) brought it on himself”.

Mumia Abu-Jamal was serving as the President of the Association of Black Journalists at the time of his arrest. He was a founding member of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Black Panther Party as a teenager. Years later he began reporting professionally on radio stations such as NPR.So, a founding member of a chapter of the Black Panther's is allowed to 'report' for NPR?!

Mumia's more recent appeals have counted on there being no (living) witnesses, they're all dying off.
If an appeal EVER succeeds it will be the biggest farce ever perpetrated on the US justice system.

You will notice that there aren't m/any Philadelphia natives on that celebrity list of Mumia supporters. Anyone from the area made up their mind decades ago on just who the real victim is in this case.
It ain't Mumia!

What is the current theory for Mumia, that he did not shoot Officer Faulkner, or that it was justified?

I hope that someone out there donates a copy of the book to the library at Evergreen State College.
That leftist hellhole had Mumia as their commencement speak about 5 years ago.
On a sidenote, I’d like to see Caterpillar donate a copy of their corporate history to the library as well. Being that Rachel Corrie attended that school, I don’t think the irony would be missed by many.
To: gridlock
My current theory is that some people just like criminals more than they like police.

The last time I read anything on the subject the claim was Mumia saw his brother being hassled by the officer & he was attacked when attempting to intervene.

However, Mumia has had a tough time convincing the board thus far as the last shot or two was execution style in the downed officer’s face. Witnesses or no that little detail is tough to justify.
