Why is this piece of garbage still breathing our air.

His defenders claim innocence.

So did Tookie's... Wonder how that's working out? ;)

Perhaps you remember a rally in Washington where the loopy left had its own demonstration with signs that said, "Free Mumia." We countered with T-shirts made by a Freeper, which said, "Fry Mumia."

I actually have one of those t-shirts. Made by abner, as I recall?

The tremendous waste of taxpayer resources on this piece of human slime is absolutely frightening. A good part of that, in this and other cases, is the Death Penalty Project of the ACLU.

This is just another instance where the ACLU proves itself to be the enemy of most things good and decent in this country.

Someone needs to ask Obami his position on this thug. Watch him squirm

What is he worried about? The odds are he will die of old age long before the state executes him. PA has had ONE execution (1995) since the previous one in 1962.

Having looked over a webpage or two, I can state with firm conviction . . . dunno. It’s rather bewildering.

Ping to one familiar with the legal ropes and possibly this case.

How to kill someone and get away with it - claim you’re an angry black radical.

I can see it now. President Obama will commute all death sentence, including Mumia’s. Maybe Obama will even give him a pardon.

Wesley Cook's aka Mumia Abu-Jamal's conviction was not overturned. He is still convicted of first-degree murder.

The penalty hearing in his case was overturned.

This means that at some point a jury could be re-empanelled to decide if he should get life in prison or whether his capital punishment should be reinstated.

Thank heavens I never handled a murder case.

Congressman Billybob might be more familiar with this one.

Put him in the skin head area so he can be properly shanked and be done with it.

The tremendous waste of taxpayer resources on this piece of human slime is absolutely frightening. A good part of that, in this and other cases, is the Death Penalty Project of the ACLU. The purpose of that Project is to throw sand in the gears of every death penalty case in the nation, regardless of how obviously guilty the defendant is, or how thoroughly his particular crimes warrant the death penalty under the duly-passed laws of the jurisdiction in which he raped, tortured, burned to death or otherwise murdered, one or more law-abiding citizens.

Terrific post. Everyone with a genuine interest in justice - real justice - needs to know about this. As it happens, there is a murder case about to get under way here in Manchester, NH (after two years of delays by... guess who?) involving the murder of a fine young police officer by a career criminal. Guess which side has the bottomless-resource Legal Team and which is scrapping for donations?

I’m currently reading “Murdered by Mumia” by Mauren Faulkner, the policeman’s widow and Michael Smerconish. This woman has worked hard to keep Mumia in prison. After all these years she is at every hearing battling the left’s attempt to get him out. So far she has stopped them but you never know when some sympathetic judge will bend.

He’s always facing courts in Philadelphia and his support is from outside Philadelphia, even across the Atlantic. It just frosts me that without the tenacity of his widow, NPR would still be giving this animal a voice.
