A Widow Speaks – Murdered By Mumia

Maureen Faulkner has written a book about her life after Mumia shot her husband Office William Faulkner to death. It’s excerpted in today’s Philly Inquirer. The following explains why she believes that Mumia deserves death.

I explained that I was wise enough to know that in our legal system, LWOP is not what it seems. I explained to the reporters that unless Jamal is executed, my family and I will have to live every day of the rest of our lives knowing that a future governor could set Abu-Jamal free with the stroke of a pen, and that I had no doubt that Abu-Jamal’s misguided and uninformed supporters and friends would relentlessly lie about the facts to future generations in order to perpetuate the myth that Abu-Jamal is a victim of a racist justice system, then demand his release.
