Mumia Abu-Jamal(Born Wesley Cook on April 24, 1954) was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, and is currently a prisoner at State Correctional Institution Greene near Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.

In December 2001, a judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania affirmed his conviction but quashed the original punishment and ordered resentencing. Both Abu-Jamal and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania appealed. The case was orally argued before a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Philadelphia on May 17, 2007. On March 27, 2008, the panel issued its opinion upholding the decision of the District Court. His case has received international attention. Supporters and opponents disagree on the appropriateness of the death penalty, whether he is guilty, or whether he received a fair trial and the benefit of due process.

Prior to his arrest he was a Black Panther Party activist, cab driver, and journalist. During his imprisonment he has courted controversy as an honoree of municipal, educational and civil society organizations, and as a spoken word commentator and published author of several works—most notably Live from Death Row.

  • Wesley Cook deserves to be right where he is behind bars..he is a Cop Killer plain and simple...and those of you who support him i'm disgusted..and you do not deserve the protection that our men and women in blue give you everyday Wesley Cook was a coward he shot Officer Faulkner in the back until he was wounded and lying on the ground where he shot him 4 more times...i hope he rots behind bars...

  • This is a ridiculously biased analysis of events. Less than eight percent of the jury pool was black; the balance was white. Ten of the jurors were white, but only one was actually black; the other was a mulatto. Also, the trial judge, Albert Sabo, was a known racist who was the recipient of many race-related internal-affairs complaints whilst a cop, all of which were covered up. He openly exclaimed, "Let's fry this nigger." There were dozens of Constitution-trashing violations in this case.

  • Mumia had NO prior arrests; a white, FOP member, former-cop trial judge; coerced witnesses who later recanted; gargantuan contradictions in each of the police report, detective interviews, and trial testimony; a jury pool with fewer than eight percent blacks; ten jurors who were admittedly racially prejudiced and supportive of capital punishment; ineffective assistance of counsel; and many other impediments to due process before, during, and after his trial. Yes, Mumia received a fair trial!

  • I find it funny that the same liberals who rally for copkiller Mumia have no problem accepting police protection at their pro-copkiller rallies.

  • "The story goes". Now lets deal w facts. mumia was heard screaming in the hospital that he wanted to go back and shoot the cop again. Several hospital workers testified to this. He is where he belongs.

  • bill handel is an idiot.

  • The first time I came across this cases was in 1992, a leaflet was posted at a community coffee house in San Diego, Ca. It told of a journalist who came to the aid of a shot white police officer and as the cop was dying pull a gun on his rescuer and shot him point blank range. The story went on how corrupt police official planted a gun on Mumia. That Mumia's attorney was incompetent and an alcoholic. But the public record is different. No mention of the brother driving the stop vehicle? WFT?

  • @CorruptPhillyCops Who am I racist towards? Palookas like yourself?

    .

    You repeated a rumor because you're a pathetic little girl with no pride.

    .

    Now keep on dancing, you puppet.

    .

    After all, you might be an ignorant racist, but you're still my bitch.

    .

  • @CorruptPhillyCops Did he turn out to be a cop's relative? Nope. Are you constantly putting your foot in your mouth? Yep.

    .

    Now dance, BITCH!!!
