PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out a ruling that had set aside the death sentence of Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer in the 1980s in a racially tinged case that has made the former Black Panther an international cause celebre.
The justices ordered the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to revisit its 2008 ruling that Abu-Jamal deserved a new sentencing hearing because of flawed jury instructions. The Supreme Court pointed to its ruling in an Ohio case last week, when it said a neo-Nazi killer did not deserve a new sentencing hearing on those grounds.
Prosecutors called the Ohio case directly on point.

Toast the BASTARD! Can I pull the switch, PLEASE??
Good!!
Kewl, I can hear the wails from the Mumia supporters all the way out here in the far NE burbs...
Bill Ayers is in mourning as we speak.
Unfortunately, Abu will be able to reargue at yet another court proceeding. 20 some years later and this worthless load of manure will continue to cost the taxpayers millions.
There are those who argue that the death penalty costs more than keeping someone in prison. Considering that this gutless wonder has been mooching off the taxpayers all these years, I would any cost for his execution would have been a helluva lot less than keeping the SOB alive .
Fry Mumia!
I hope so.
Fry Mumia!
You still see an occasional well-weathered “Fry Mumia” bumper sticker here in Pennsylvania. He murdered a young policeman in cold blood and has already been consuming oxygen for more years than his victim had on this earth. It’s disgusting!
FRY Mumia!
Last people executed in PA:
Keith Zettlemoyer.... 2 May 1995...Killed Charles DeVetsco...signed by Tom Ridge
Leon Moser... 15 August 1995...Killed Linda Moser, Donna Moser, and Joanne Moser....signed by Tom Ridge
Gary M. Heidnik... 6 July 1999...Killed Deborah Dudley and Sandra Lindsay... Tom Ridge
He is gonna die of natural causes at age 103 by the time the courts are done punting his case around. (that’s IF a new Global Government run by Euroweenies does not take over and order him released first)
maybe Geno’s Steaks in Philly can put an item called Fried Mumia on their menu...
why is this pos still breathing from the same atmosphere as me????? wrap his behind in canvas, add a few old cannonballs, and drop him off the side of an aircraft carrier off the sewage infested coast of somalia.....
Let OBAMA pardon him!!
next they have to put a stop to these radio commentaries he gets to do from prison which run all over the internet and on leftist whacko college FM stations. (I must say, for a demented, cold-blooded murderer, he does have a set of killer pipes)
In Pennsylvania we don’t use the electric chair anymore. I think they just lock you in an airtight room with Ed Rendell an hour after he’s done working the crowd at the Great Wilkes-Barre Chili Cook-Off.
