the craziest part is this dude right here:

Flanked by the police Officer Daniel Faulkner's widow, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams announced his decision Wednesday. "There's never been any doubt in my mind that Mumia Abu-Jamal shot and killed Officer Faulkner. I believe that the appropriate sentence was handed down by a jury of his peers in 1982," said Williams, who is black. "While Abu-Jamal will no longer be facing the death penalty, he will remain behind bars for the rest of his life, and that is where he belongs." (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

smh at this, even if you think he might be guilty, there is no need to go over the top like this...but maybe he had to do it, to keep whitey calm

I am not very up on this case. My basic understanding is a cop stops Abu-Jamal younger brother in a traffic stop. Mumbia is nearby in his cab. He moves over to the stop and shooting occurs. Mumbia is found at the scene with a holstered revolver. He is shot and the cop is shot. Bullets retrieved from the cop match Mumbia's gun. I can not find Mumbia's story as to what happened. Did the cop over react to mumbia's presence and fire first?
