"Free Mumia!" Liberals To Take It Straight To Obama


As if Barack Obama didn't have enough pressure coming from the Far-Left fringe society of idiots, now there's more:

Supporters of internationally known Philadelphia cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal" title="Topic: Mumia Abu-Jamal" class="tpstyle">Mumia Abu-Jamal say they want help from the White House.

The U.S. Supreme Court last week denied a new trial for Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther convicted of murdering Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday.

His supporters are circulating petitions urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. to intervene. Supporters said they will also ask U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah, D-Pa., to take their plea to President Barack Obama.

"This is a new administration, and we are looking for honesty and fairness," said MOVE member Pam Africa, one of the organizers.

The Supreme Court is still considering a petition by prosecutors to reinstate Abu-Jamal's death sentence, the newspaper reported.

The "Free Mumia!" contingent is a righteous squad that includes many well-known Hollyweird liberals such as Ed Asner and Susan Sarandon. They tried this move with Bill Clinton and got turned down, expect them to bring out the race card for Barack.

Supreme Court Refuses To Grant Mumia Abu-Jamal A New Trial


FOXNews.com:

Mumia Abu-Jamal has lost his bid for a new trial in the killing of a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.

The Supreme Court said Monday it will not take up Abu-Jamal's claims that prosecutors improperly excluded blacks from the jury that convicted him of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia upheld Abu-Jamal's conviction but held his death sentence invalid. The appeals court said it would not second-guess state court rulings rejecting Abu-Jamal's claims of bias in the composition of the jury.

The high court considered only the conviction. The state has separately asked the court to reinstate the death sentence, but the justices have not acted on that request.

A Philadelphia jury convicted Abu-Jamal, who is black, of killing Faulkner, who was white, in 1981 after the patrolman pulled over Abu-Jamal's brother during an overnight traffic stop.

Looks like the Left's favorite cop killer will be spending the rest of his life behind bars.
