The Washington Times
published my piece on Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is appealing his conviction for murdering Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner (seen in the bottom photo).
The FBI reported that as of
Dec. 18, 2018, 53 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in 2018.
Forty-five law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the previous
year.
There is nothing more
dangerous than a cop killer. The criminal who is bold enough to murder a police
officer, who is armed and supported by his/her fellow armed officers, will not
hesitate to kill anyone, anywhere, anytime.
A cop killer is a total
outlaw.
There is one cop killer in
particular who continues to rankle Philadelphia
police officers and other officers across the nation. In what can be
called one of Philadelphia’s
most celebrated criminal cases, Mumia
Abu-Jamal was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 1982 for
the shooting of Philadelphia
Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Faulkner was only 25 years
old.
Abu-Jamal
was originally sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life in
prison.
The long, drawn out case of Abu-Jamal
sadly continues on to this day. A Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge ruled
last month that Abu-Jamal
can re-argue an appeal before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court as the then-Chief
Justice, Ronald D. Castille, did not recuse himself, although he was the Philadelphia
district attorney back when Abu-Jamal
was appealing his case.
