The Supreme Court has tossed out a lower court ruling which had stated that if the Philly DA wants to execute Mumia, then Mumia must first have a new penalty hearing. The case is now in front of the 3rd Circuit Court, with the DA seeking Mumia's execution without a sentencing hearing.

The threat to Mumia Abu-Jamal's life is increasingly ominous. His lead attorney, Robert Bryan, warns: "There is an escalated effort by the authorities to see him die at the hands of the executioner. This is the most dangerous time for Mumia since his 1981 arrest." The U.S. Supreme Court has turned down Jamal's two appeals. If it were to rule in favor of the prosecution's appeal, this would open the way for Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell to issue a third warrant of execution, which he has vowed to do. Contrary to the misplaced expectations of many, the Obama administration is not about to save Mumia. Around the world, hundreds of thousands have marched for this courageous champion of oppressed. Trade unions representing millions of members have rallied to the defense of Mumia. It is urgent to expand this support into powerful labor/black action, appealing to the integrated union movement to join with the black, Latino and immigrant poor to demand that he be liberated.

Even Europeans are finally starting to see the truth...its about time

ALMOST 30 years after Mumia Abu-Jamal murdered her husband, Maureen Faulkner has won the battle for justice on the domestic front. Now she's poised to triumph in the European theater as well.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court declined to hear Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new trial. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia has upheld his conviction for the murder of Officer Danny Faulkner. In other words, Abu-Jamal will never get out of jail.

A letter in the Metro on April 14, on page 14, was quit different from the usual pro Mumia piece.

Excerpt

Summary: 

It's April 14 pg 14, by Paolo Giampietro, in response to “Week that, ”there have been over 13 death penalty inmates exonerated . . . -makes Mumia’s possible innocence seem like an outlandish improbability.”

Anyway Paolo’s assertion that it is ridiculous to assume he must be guilty, is more persuasive than claiming he must be innocent to the casual Internet user. Not in his letter: Repeated prosecutor misconduct was so gross in the Ted Steven’s conviction that the new Attorney General called a "grand jury" to look into,
