As best I can tell, a number of people have been duped into believing that Abu-Jamal was railroaded by a “white racist court system” since he didn’t face an all-black jury. Evidently, these misguided souls believe that in 1982 America, only a black juror can objectively hear a case involving a black man.

Or maybe it’s a subtle yet vicious form of racism because these liberal elitists are so enamored with a black man who is considered articulate and eloquent, the so-called “voice of the voiceless.”

Whatever their idiotic reasons, the truth is now finally captured in a book, “Murdered by Mumia.” Maureen Faulker, a woman who has endured years of abuse by Abu-Jamal supporters, suffered through court reversals and legal wranglings, and always knowing that the man who murdered her husband has become a twisted folk hero, co-wrote this new book with the terrific Philadelphia radio talk host Michael Smerconish.

The book is the definitive explanation of the night that Mumia Abu-Jamal killed Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood. Maureen’s story is supported by courtroom testimony, irrefutable evidence, and most of all, the agonizing yet fulfilling war that Maureen has waged all these years on behalf of her beloved husband.

Every myth is debunked; every lie corrected.

She has never wavered. She never faltered. She has told her husband’s story to anyone who will listen, traveling all over this country to make sure no one can be mistaken of the horrible injustice that Mumia Abu-Jamal has committed and still gets away with every single breath of his evil existence.

I was proud to interview Mrs. Faulkner today. I will always admire her courage. And like millions of Americans, I share her hope and prayer that one day, Mumia Abu-Jamal’s death sentence will finally be carried out and justice can truly prevail.

Maureen’s husband deserves as much.
