- Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose death sentence for killing a Philadelphia police officer in 1981 has become an international cause célèbre for opponents of capital punishment, has suffered a significant setback at the US Supreme Court.
In a summary order issued on Tuesday, the high court reversed a 2008 federal appeals court ruling that had required a new sentencing hearing for Mr. Abu-Jamal.
[...] Tuesday’s action by the Supreme Court likely moves Abu-Jamal significantly closer to execution.
Not a moment too soon. Twenty-nine years?
