A Philadelphia judge is expected to decide Friday if Mumia Abu Jamal will get a new trial.
The ex-Black Panther and local journalist has been in prison for decades. He was convicted for the shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981.Abu Jamal's legal team says six boxes found in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office contained "highly significant evidence" that they claim will prove his trial was tainted.Abu Jamal is serving a sentence of life without parole.However, multiple appeals to overturn his conviction have failed.
His death penalty sentence was overturned by a federal court and, in 2011, he was re-sentenced to life in prison.
This is ridiculous they “found” six boxes give me a break
This mutt gets more time in court than Trumpina
Can we appeal his life sentence and have him Re-sentenced to death?
He undoubtedly shot and killed that cop, so I can’t see why anyone cares.
