Mumia to Rot In Cell Instead of Hell

The man who murdered Philly police officer Daniel Faulkner loses again:

A federal appeals court today refused to reinstate the death sentence of world-famous death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal, but left intact his murder conviction in the 1981 shooting death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that Abu-Jamal must be sentenced to life in prison or get a chance with a new Philadelphia jury, which would decide only whether he should get life in prison or be sentenced - again - to death.

The judges left intact his first-degree murder conviction, rejecting Abu-Jamal's claim that he deserves an entirely new trial and a chance to prove his innocence.

That's a win, he was never going to be executed anyway so the simple fact is that he will continue to live his fetid little life in a prison cell where he belongs.

His loser lawyers argued that he was convicted because of a racist jury, a charge that has been debunked numerous times.

Here's me favorite part though:

Other Abu-Jamal supporters were unhappy with the ruling. They said rallies were being planned for as early as tomorrow outside federal courthouses in Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco.

"This was no victory, in any sense of the word," said Pam Africa, a member of the radical group MOVE.

Who exactly did Pam Africa associate with? How about a group that killed Officer James Ramp (who died under heroic circumstances) and was at the center of a case in which a Philly Mayor dropped a bomb on his own city destroying scores of homes. She's a zealot and is one step away from a terrorist. She's also a scumbag who has made a living out of the Mumia case and is never too far from scamming funds in support of the vile cop-killer. She's also part of a group that is widely-believed to have murdered one who crossed them.

"Today's decision is a travesty of justice," said Jeff Mackler, of Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal. He said he had been hoping that the Third Circuit would order an entirely new trial based on the claim about racial discrimination in jury selection.

Mackler said he anticipates worldwide reaction to the disappointing decision. "Tomorrow is just an initial reaction," he said.

Sounds like a threat of terror to me. What would be the reactions subsequent to tomorrow Mr. Mackler? It sound even more threatening considering your past, which included running for Senate as a hard-core socialist (the only thing I hate more than a murderer supporter is a socialist murderer supporter) . Maybe you can rally the French populace who are more known for turning on their own country than fighting those who take it over. We can call them the Vichy Jamal Group if you wish.
