Abu-Jamal decision fair; appealing should cease

No ifs, ands or buts . . . Mumia is guilty. Nothing has been proven to negate the fact that Mumia Abu-Jamal is guilty. Mumia has been asked many times if he's guilty,and his response was that he didn't get a fair trial. This is obviously not a plea of innocence, rather his response is a ploy to abuse the judicial system. He has never denied the fact that he killed the young police officer; he simply cries racial injustice as his defense, which unfortunately seems to have saved his life. But if some judge wants to give him life in prison, that is fine with me, let him rot in there for the rest of his life so that he can suffer as much as Officer Faulkner's family. Mumia got his due process and all the appeals that go with it. It's time Mumia quit crying and did the time for the horrendous crime he undoubtedly committed.
