No death sentence Death Row for cop-killer moonbat Mumia abu Jamal

Michelle Malkin has the good and the bad regarding this left-wing poster boy convicted Death Row cop-killer Mumia abu Jamal. The good? He will not get a new trial:

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 BAD news:

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.

    Does anyone have any doubt that Obambo will pardon the murderer before the end of his last term in the White Ho-use? (Which, hopefully, will turn out to be this term)

    I hope Mumia is executed. In the meantime I hope he and his family suffer. Over 25 years of appeals, of hope, and arrogance for Mumia and his family and supporters. What have the late Officer Faulkner and his family gotten – nothing but sadness and loss.
