Key Hearing for Mumia Approaches. So Does Death

The Inquirer reported in yesterday’s paper on a critical argument that will be held in the US Third Circuit Court of Appeals this Thursday in the long running case of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal (and truthfully, have there been more than a handful of hot Broadway shows that have run longer than this guy’s appellate litigation?) In any event – as sympathetic as I am to folks who get railroaded by the state and as corrupt as I know the system is, Mumia is guilty. He was given a fair trial, and has had ample opportunity to litigate his appeals. Its time to bring down the curtain on this show and to put a needle into Mumia’s arm.
