PROOF: Mumia Abu-Jamal, darling of the Left, is not a “political prisoner” -- he’s a cold-blooded murderer
Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice
by Maureen Faulkner; Michael A. Smerconish
His case has been championed by Jesse Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Ed Asner, Mike Farrell and others. While on death row, he has published several books,
delivered radio commentaries on NPR, given college commencement speeches via audiotape, found himself named an Honorary Citizen of France, and had his
defense coffers enhanced by ticket sales from a sold out (16,000-person) concert featuring the popular rock group Rage Against the Machine. He’s a darling of the Left, championed around the world as a "political prisoner" of the "racist" U.S. regime.
(continued from above)
But there’s just one problem: Mumia Abu-Jamal is a murderer. On a cold December in 1981, he shot Philadelphia police officer Danny Faulkner between
the eyes, and –- according to the testimony of several witnesses -– spoke openly and proudly about his evil deed. Now, in Murdered By Mumia: A Life
Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice, Maureen Faulkner, the widow of Philadelphia police office Danny Faulkner, and acclaimed Philadelphia talk show host Michael Smerconish definitively lay out the case for Mumia’s guilt, and show why his legion of defenders are either being taken for a ride, or are
willfully trying to help this cold-hearted thug get away with murder.
Amassing an impressive -– and, indeed, irrefutable -- array of evidence, Faulkner and Smerconish prove that Mumia Abu-Jamal is no political prisoner,
but is exactly where he ought to be as he continues to languish behind bars. They show that it is no accident that, despite tremendous media pressure, no
judge has ever overturned Abu-Jamal’s conviction for murder. Smerconish, a lawyer, has provided pro bono legal counsel to Faulkner for over a decade and
knows both the legal intricacies and personal subtleties of the case like no other person -– in fact, he has personally acquainted himself with the more
than five thousand pages of trial transcript. "My reading," he says, "starkly revealed that Abu-Jamal murdered Danny Faulkner in cold blood and that the
case tried in Philadelphia in 1982 bore no resemblance to the one being home-cooked by the Abu-Jamal defense team."
The real Mumia, behind the liberal myth:
- Proof that Mumia Abu-Jamal was a revolutionary fanatic who had called in print for the murder of police officers before he killed Officer Faulkner
- How Mumia Abu-Jamal was unanimously convicted of the crime by a racially mixed jury, based on the testimony of several eyewitnesses, his ownership of
the murder weapon, matching ballistics, and Abu-Jamal’s own confession
- How this unfeeling monster not only gunned down a decorated Philadelphia policeman in cold blood and boasted about his crime, but he even smirked at his
victim’s widow as she wept through his murder trial
- How, since his conviction, this ice-cold hoodlum has lied for over 25 years about what he did on that fateful night -– although he has never once offered an alternative explanation of his whereabouts and activities on the night Faulkner was killed
- The roots of the "Free Mumia" craze in the national anti-death penalty movement -- and how Mumia’s fashionably Leftist partisans have consistently swept aside the evidence of his guilt and openly lied –- repeatedly -– about the case, while defaming Mrs. Faulkner and adding to her grief in the process
- How Maureen Faulkner has never given up battling the trendy "Free Mumia" movement, even as her lonely struggle has earned her abuse, outrageously cruel
anonymous phone calls, spittings, and even death threats
"A harrowing book, told with uncommon grace and dignity." -- Buzz Bissinger, author, Friday Night Lights
"The Bible teaches that the truth will set us free, but Michael Smerconish and Maureen Faulkner teach us that even a powerful truth needs courage as its ally." -- Chris Matthews, host of Hardball and the Chris Matthews Show
