Appeals. Mostly initiated from people who are death penalty opponents, who know nothing about the case. Stupidly, they're arguing his innocence and/or the unfairness of the trial, when it is obvious to anyone who experienced the events as they happened that he shot Officer Faulkner. As for the fairness, neither he nor his brother testified at trial. That tells you all you need to know.

Yes.

You got it, bro'.
There's way too much leniency built into the system. If you're going to have capital punishment for crimes, (as a deterrent?) then it makes no sense for people like Mumia to hang around manipulating people (and the system) because it gives the law no teeth.
If we're not going to change the system, then we should outlaw capital punishment. Period.
