Vent TV Keeps Light on Mumia Outrage, 25 years later
Watch Michelle Malkin's piece on the disgraceful saga of Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted murderer of Philly policeman Daniel Faulkner. See Vent with Michelle Malkin here. This disgusting crime took place 25 years ago today. From the "Justice for Daniel Faulkner" website:
On July 3, 1982, having heard weeks of testimony, a jury of 12 citizens sentenced Mumia Abu-Jamal to death for the premeditated murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Over the next 19 years, Jamal's case has become one of the most publicized Death Penalty cases in the world. It has also become the most misunderstood. The twisted tales about this case are many. They have been told and retold by countless individuals who know little or nothing of the actual facts of the case.
You really need to go there and look through the whole site.
