The injustice here is that this case is almost 30 years old: Supreme Court reverse for Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal
The US Supreme Court has overturned a decision by a lower court in Philadelphia to block the execution of a former "black power" militant.
The lower court reversed the death penalty on Mumia Abu-Jamal in March 2008 after finding that the jury had been given flawed instructions.
The ex-Black Panther's conviction for murdering a policeman still stood.
The Supreme Court made its ruling after a case in Ohio last week which turned on a similar legal issue...
Fry Mumia!
