24th anniversary of the murder of Daniel Faulkner

Today is the 24th anniversary of the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. The judicial system in Philadelphia is truly sickening in this case. When will the family and friends of P/O Faulkner have justice?!? It angers me beyond words!! I have a lot of family members as well as friends that are in the PPD; I can only imagine how I'd feel if this happened to one of them.

One thing is crystal clear Officer Faulkner was MURDERED by Wesley Cook AKA Mumia Abu-Jamal. Wesley is such a coward! Please note: While Officer Faulkner back was turned, Wesley opened fire, striking Officer Faulkner in the back four times. Only a coward would shoot someone in the back!

The suspect was charged and convicted of murder then sentenced to death in two separate trials. In December 2001 a federal judge overturned the death sentence and ordered a new sentencing hearing.

Mumia shot Officer Faulkner execution style; I only hope that I live to see Mumia executed...Which is the only sentence Mumia deserves.



I read 2 blogs that are trying to get the truth out about the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. I read a post from Kate of Katey's Kafe on Domelights about I Live In Delaware County: Remembering Daniel Faulkner , it's definitely worth the time. Also, The Anti-MOVE Blog: Mumia and the Madness that Follows is well worth the time to read. It's an exceptional essay written by Tony Allen (an ex-MOVE member). God bless him! He's really doing his best to get the word out about MOVE. I thank him for that.


Here are some snipets from the 'Justice for Daniel Faulkner' website. If you're not already, please, take the time to become informed about the Daniel Faulkner case.


Consider the Facts that Convicted Mumia Abu-Jamal.


Myth #1

The bullet that killed Officer Faulkner was a .44 caliber bullet, while Jamal's gun was a .38 caliber.

Myth #2

Several "eyewitnesses" saw someone else shoot Officer Faulkner and then escape up an alley.

Myth #3

The jury that convicted Mumia Abu-Jamal was racially stacked against him by the prosecutor, who used eleven of his peremptory challenges to exclude qualified black jurors, solely because they were black.

Myth #4

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a political prisoner who was convicted and sentenced to death because of his political beliefs and his past membership in the Black Panthers.

Myth #5

The court allocated just $150 for Mumia Abu-Jamal and his attorney to mount their entire defense.

Myth #6

The Philadelphia Police Department lost evidence, withheld evidence, coerced witnesses and conspired against Mr. Jamal to obtain a conviction.

Myth #7

In an effort to frame Mumia Abu-Jamal and secure a conviction, the Philadelphia Police fabricated a story about Mumia Abu-Jamal's Emergency Room confession.

Myth #8

Mr. Jamal was coming to the aid of his brother who was being brutally beaten by Officer Faulkner.

Myth #9

Mumia Abu-Jamal was denied his right to self representation, in violation of his Constitutional Rights.

Myth #10

Mumia Abu-Jamal's court appointed attorney was admittedly incompetent and incapable of mounting a defense on Jamal's behalf.

Myth #11

Judge Albert Sabo has sentenced more black people to death than any other Judge in the U.S. Therefore, he had a bias against Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Myth #12

The ballistics evidence used to convict Mumia Abu-Jamal was flawed. The police failed to test Jamal's hands to see if he had recently fired a gun and they never "sniffed" Jamal's gun to see if it had been fired.

Myth #13

Only one prosecution witness saw Mr. Jamal with a gun.

Myth #14

Mumia Abu-Jamal is an "award winning journalist" who was targeted by police and Mayor Frank Rizzo because he had repeatedly exposed police corruption in Philadelphia.

Myth #15

Some of Jamal's supporters suggest that the "real killer's" driver's license was found in Officer Faulkner's pocket the morning he was murdered.


Myth #16

The downward angle of Jamal's wound makes the prosecution's explanation of the shooting impossible.

Myth #17
