PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal appeals court on Thursday said former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal cannot be executed for murdering a Philadelphia police officer without a new penalty hearing.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Abu-Jamal's conviction should stand, but that he should get a new sentencing hearing because of flawed jury instructions. If prosecutors don't want to give him a new death penalty hearing, Abu-Jamal would be sentenced automatically to life in prison.

LOCAL PROTESTS SET FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 28 FOLLOWED BY NATIONAL PROTEST APRIL 19 (SAN FRANCISCO) AND APRIL 26 (PHILADELPHIA).



“THE DECISION OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE,” SAID JEFF MACKLER, DIRECTOR OF THE MOBILIZATION TO FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL. “DESPITE MASSIVE EVIDENCE OF INNOCENCE THE COURT REJECTED OUR DEMAND FOR A NEW TRIAL WHERE THE TRUTH COULD BE HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME.”

This thug has been a moonbat "cause" for years now - Black Panthers will always be in style with this crowd, even if Barack Hussein Obama did have to take down his site's direct link to them.

I wonder what the presidential candidates think about this?

He's in Penn State. He can receive a death penalty, but it will never be carried out.
Might as well change it to life. Truth in advertising.

All the smart murderers kill and get caught in Liberal states.
