\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428635339754418738\"<\/a>“The Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out a court ruling that invalidated former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal’s death sentence for killing a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Abu-Jamal’s 1982 conviction, activists in the United States and Europe have rallied in support of his claims that he was the victim of a racist justice system. Abu-Jamal has kept his case in the spotlight through books and radio broadcasts.<\/p>\n

The appeals court upheld Abu-Jamal’s conviction but held his death sentence invalid. The Supreme Court earlier rejected Abu-Jamal’s appeal of his conviction…<\/p>\n

The case is Beard v. Abu-Jamal, 08-652.” (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Anyone left out there that may still harbor some hesitation as to whether it was Mumia that killed Officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood…only need read the transcripts<\/a>. They even made a convert of one of my liberal brothers whose friends were all on the ‘Free Mumia bandwagon’…thankfully he did the reading. <\/p>\n

Is it sad or amusing that the LA Times is calling a decision by the Supreme Court to keep the death penalty a setback for Mumia<\/a>. Setback?

“This assassination has been made a circus by those people in the world and this city who believe falsely that Mumia Abu-Jamal is some kind of a folk hero,” then-Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham said when the federal appeals court upheld the conviction. “He is nothing short of an assassin.”<\/span> (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n
