No new trial for Death Row cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal
The good news: SCOTUS ruled today that left-wing poster boy/convicted Death Row cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal will not get a new trial:
Mumia Abu-Jamal has lost his bid for a new trial in the killing of a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.
The Supreme Court said Monday it will not take up Abu-Jamal’s claims that prosecutors improperly excluded blacks from the jury that convicted him of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia upheld Abu-Jamal’s conviction but held his death sentence invalid. The appeals court said it would not second-guess state court rulings rejecting Abu-Jamal’s claims of bias in the composition of the jury.
The bad news:
The high court considered only the conviction. The state has separately asked the court to reinstate the death sentence, but the justices have not acted on that request.
More time for France to name new monuments and roads after him. And for the MSM to fawningly call him a “human rights campaigner.”
When will there be justice for Officer Danny Faulkner?

Let him rot in solitary, perhaps he may become the next greatest community organizer
One must take solace that he will remain behind bars for now. There will be no end to the MSM and other leftists wailing about his lack of freedom. It will be hoped that the conviction of death with be upheld somehow some way.
I was just thinking about that guy–and that people in Pittsburgh won’t be chanting “Pop-law-ski” to have him freed.
“Mu-mi-a”…what a joke. I’m so glad his appeal for a new trial was denied!!!
At least he is going to rot in prison.
I am not opposed to the imposition of the death penalty. But I am torn not to make this scumbag a greater martyr to the leftist/MSM causes. Simply lock him away and forget the key let him waste away in dark, dank obscurity.
this guy has become like Hiss, no matter what the left-wing wackos will think he is innocent…
Sadly not in this life although the death of Mumia abu Jamal would help I am sure. Actor Ed Asner has made a life’s work of harassing Mrs. Faulkner and then lying about it. The Hollywood/Leftist elite does seem to take a perverse pleasure in causing pain.It is a good thing that this is a state case and not Federal-Clinton or Obama would pardon the man-they do seem to admire police killers.
When Mumia abu Jamal and his supports reach Hell Fire there will be justice for Officer Danny Faulkner and his family.
Hammer, as long as the media has a forum, Mumia will always be a hero, dead or alive.
I vote for dead. Or as they say in the South, “Deader -n- Dead!”
Until then, let him rot while being forced to watch endless episodes of Sledge Hammer!
One day Mumia will be judged by the Living God, and I don’t want to be standing anywhere near him when that goes down.
This swine should have been executed 25 years ago. At least he will remain in prison. At least until Odopey gets his picks on the Supreme Court.
ACHefty –
Still feel torn. Wouldn’t mind him dead, just do not like the MSM/leftards to get a martyr for new t-shirts (and we all know how revisionist they can be with their heroes…)
Do not like the thought of “it” living at the taxpayer’s expense watching free HBO, while proper justice not yet served for society and the Faulkner family.
Suffice it to say I am in agreement with ArizonaNeanderthal.
He’d be forgotten pretty quickly.
Any idea when he’ll finally be put to death?
How much money could we save by converting all life sentences to death and carrying them out in the next year?
Hhallelujah.
Solitary confinement for as long as he lives in a dark room is what he deserves.
They have this animal “dead-to-rights”. Whether he is executed or rots in prison… his real judgement, as stated previously above, is really gonna hurt and I don’t want to be anywhere near the line he’s in when the time comes.
forgotten, like Che?
I am a supporter of capital punishment, and the economics make sense. Next phase of a bailout?
Thanks for small miracles.
Livin a lie is a beotchhh eh “Mooo-mia”?
Score one for the good guys.
Bear1909 out.
My quick solution to the Death Penalty bottleneck: One!
You either get one appeal, the conclusion of which is final, or one year from sentencing, whichever comes first.
After the appeal, if it is unsuccessful, you are taken to meet Sparky the next morning. If, during your appeal, a full year elapses, Mumia, meet Sparky.
We’ll have Death Row emptied in 365 days. And thousands of killers will no longer be able to kill.
I know it’s simplistic, but tell me where there are any flaws — aside from the “what about the innocent” canard.
AC – concur. Get R Done
Thank God for Danny’s wife’s sake. Maureen Faulkner has had to go through hell with all these legal wranglings and when the Hollywood community takes up for that cop-killer it makes me sick.
As Peter Gabriel says, it’s time to ‘Shock the Monkey.”
not sure of the proper pronunciation of “mumia” … personally I’d like to drop the ending “a” and turn him into a “mummy” … and the sooner he’s “mummy” material the better for scum bags like this …
this pos will die of old age before any blue state executes him. i recently read a book of crime/punishment in los angeles in the 1930’s/40’s and a guy killed a policeman during a holdup, and he was tried, convicted and executed in 6 months. now that is justice.
Ever notice how these ‘tough guys’ are so eager and happy to kill but so terribly afraid to die?
Tookie Williams anybody?
As much as I would love to see this POS executed, I would prefer not to see a candlelight vigil of insanity as was perpetrated before Tookie took his eternal dirt nap.
I think he SHOULD get a new trial.
Is there anyway we can resurrect Judge Isaac “The Hanging Judge” Parker to preside over it?
Rot in jail, burn in hell.
Holly-weird is flying flags at half mast. Must be why they suck so much.
Hey, lgm, how do you feel about this cop killer not getting out. I sure would like to know.
ALPHA MIKE FOXTROT
Trust me, nobody is going to glamourize him like they did Che. He will be forgotten.
Let’s not waste another Taxpayer cent on this inhumane monster. Just shoot him in the head. It will only cost one bullet!
One candle light vigil and it’s done. Then the libs can find another cause celebre.
If he’s left alive, it’ll be a never ending rehash.
Take him out back and shoot him, like the rabid dog that he is.
In prison for life is good. Dead on a gurney is better.
Justice for Officer Danny Faulkner! No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace!
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force. Mumia belongs in a body bag. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!
ECS
With him staying in jail, it is good news for those who own a “Free Mumia” bumpersticker and t-shirt franchise.

I completely agree. Prisoners should only have one appeal. Their lawyers just keep finding something else to appeal in order to prolong everything. Get your one appeal and then if you don’t succeed, it is time to face the consequences. Then the victim’s family can have peace.
Who supports this killer?
Wanna bet they are all Obama supporters too?
This guy stood over the wounded policeman and fired a couple of shots into his face. Several eywitnesses saw him do it but because there were no blacks on the jury he is a … hero?
There is no doubt he killed him. The problem is with the system that convicted him?
And Hollywood loves him. Another reason to buy books, go outside, play games, and stay away from movies whose proceeds support scum like this.
Any bets on when this scum will receive his presidential pardon?
Naming monuments after a cop killing monster? Funny how the far left worships the devil in all his incarnations.
Many year ago I saw a movie, ‘Midnight Express’, I believe that is the name. Well, that prison was what I would like this scum bag doing time till he gets his ‘darlings’.

Left wing movie critic Roger Ebert has shed hundreds of tears for this cop killer. I have never heard Roger Ebert say one word about the innocent police officer murdered by this criminal.
No mercy for Mumis Abu Lamma Lamma Ding Dong or whatever this cop killer’s name is. Rot in solitary, then, rot in hell.
I would bet my pay check that Barak Obama pardons this scumbag.
It would not surprise me in the least.
Someone on Newsbusters summed it up about liberals. They always side with the aggressor and, the more innocent the victim, the more ardently liberals support the aggressor.
Mrs. Faulkner lost her husband before their life together really began. So far as I’m aware, she never remarried. Where is the justice for her? Why do liberals never feel for the families of the victims?
Here’s the link to Officer Daniel Faulkner’s website. There is alot information about this case, and well worth the time to read it.
GSP <bowing in a moment of silence)
Continue to Rest in Peace Officer Faulkner, your memory has not been forgotten.
The only thing that I want to ever hear about that turd is how he was crying when he was executed. Time to man-up and plug him in….
This is absolutely huge! I’m less excited about prospects for his death penalty reinstatement, but I’m relieved that there is no chance that this murderer will be walking the streets again.
I ordered the book about this murder through my library and it’s worth reading it. It’s written by Mrs. Faulkner and, I’m pretty sure, Michael Smerconish (sp?).
Help support Mrs. Faulkner by getting this book.
Boy, that explains a lot… I was wondering why so many LIBS, especially the HOLLYWOOD LEFT were wearing BLACK ARMBANDS today…
Mumia and his fan club are among the top 10 reasons why the Left sucks. Leftists will support any loony killer, like Tookie Williams, that guy Norman Mailer sprang out of jail, or Ira Einhorn.
These Hollywood and music biz a-holes who support this cop killer are the first ones to want rent-a-cops to protect their worthless hides from unhinged fans. It would be nice if LAPD or NYPD would take a cue from the Baltimore PD and not work any event put on by Mumia’s supporters.
Gee…will we be inundated by a new rash of the apologists in Hollywood and the music industry like REM and others who will rush to this murdering thugs aid with benefit concerts and other such nonsense so that he can fight Whitey who obviously has gone into overtime trying to frame this poor, innocent soul? I mean, Whitey was able to get that visionary, that lover of children, that peace-maker Tookie…when, oh when will Whitey’s thirst for the blood of these innocent black men be slacked?
I mean, is that a real cop that was killed? Is there any proof at all that he was even a cop? Would anyone put it past Whitey to have a “throw-down” corpse, cleverly disguised as a cop, in order to frame this great Nobel Peace Prize nominee and eliminate him from society in order to destroy the message he has for the people of this world?
When will Whitey stop spending all this time setting up elaborate plans and sinister traps? When will the truth finally be told? When will they free Abba Dabba Funky-Butt?
That’s about what it all comes down to. The global syndicate known as “Da Man” who’s only goal is to frame supposed innocent blacks for crimes they did not commit.
What I want to know is why this SOB is still breathing. Where are the benefit concerts, films, t-shirts, songs, and other assorted schwag to benefit Officer Faulkner’s family? Where are all the media celebrities that are speaking out against this injustice that is being carried out every single minute of single day that this piece of filth, (my apologies to filth) is still breathing?
This case alone is the most demonstrative case of how corrupt the entire appellate process in this country is. This guy is not innocent and he and everyone around him knows it, yet he has been allowed, at the cost of millions upon millions of tax payer dollars, to clog up the courts with his ridiculous appeals. Between him and Charles Ng, they have made a mockery of the entire system.
There needs to be a law passed that limits how many appeals that a convict is allowed to have. Let’s say, for instance, three. On a Capital Offense case, the first appeal is automatic, as it is now. After that you have two more before your sentence…and it is a PUNISHMENT…a PENALTY…not a deterrent…is carried out, so you better be damn sure that it is not bogus or frivolous. Once the third one is done, and if the convict loses it…that’s it…off to the medical table and the venous cocktail for the murdering scum-wad.
Or, for all the Socialist/Marxist Liberals, we could just change our Capital Offense cases to the way that they did it in the former Soviet Union. Sort of a trip down Communist Nostalgia Lane.
Following the reading of the verdict, if it be “Guilty”, and the sentence is “Death”, the convict is handcuffed, lead out a side door into a windowless room where he then suffers an extreme and acute sudden case of terminal lead poisoning to the head.
Either way is fine with me. It would end this nightmare that these scumbags have made out of the process, empty out our death rows and permanently cleanse the gene pool of these pieces of feces.
