<font size=3 color="#041400">Dear All:<br><br>
This morning the U.S. Supreme Court issued the long-awaited ruling in the
case of my client, Mumia Abu-Jamal, which we have been litigating for 15
months. The decision was as we expected. Mumia's case has
been sent back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,
Philadelphia, for further proceedings consistent with the decision last
weak in another case:<br><br>
</font>
<dl>
<dd>"The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment
is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Third Circuit for further consideration in light of Smith
v. Spisak</i>, 558 U.S. ___ (2010)."<br><br>
<br>
</dl><font size=3 color="#041400">The decision is not bad and was
unavoidable in view of the Spisak</i> case ruling. Now we must
resume litigating the issue of the death penalty in the lower federal
court. It previous ruled that the trial judge misled the jury and
thus Mumia was entitled to a new jury trial on the issue of death or
life. That is still the issue.<br><br>
What occurred in Mumia's case is different both procedurally and
factually from the jury instructions in Spisak</i>. The prosecution
disagrees.<br><br>
</font>Soon I will be posting more information on our website:

for updated information.<br><br>
Petition for President Barack Obama</b> It is crucial for people to
sign the petition for President Barack Obama regarding Mumia, which is in
10 languages ("Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Global Abolition of the Death
Penalty")</i>. Please circulate the petition as widely as
possible and, of course, sign. The link is:

Over 8,000 people, mostly from Germany, have signed in the few days since
we launched the petition. These include: Günter Grass, Germany
(Nobel Prize in Literature); Bishop Desmond Tutu, South Africa (Nobel
Peace Prize); Danielle Mitterrand, Paris (former First Lady of France);
Fatima Bhutto, Pakistan (writer); Noam Chomsky, MIT (philosopher &
author); Ed Asner (actor; Mike Farrell (actor); and Michael Radford
(director of the Oscar winning film Il Postino</i>). <br><br>
There is also a Facebook</i> page for Mumia and our work to save him:

<font size=3 color="#041400">Tax-deductible Donations for Mumia's Legal
Defense The only way to guarantee that donations in the U.S. go
only to the legal defense, is to make checks payable to the National
Lawyers Guild Foundation</i> (indicate Mumia on the bottom left), or
contact my office
(<a href="mailto:MumiaLegalDefense@gmail.com">

</dl>Conclusion </b>Mumia remains on death row under a death
judgment. He is in greater danger than at any time since his arrest
over 28 years ago. The prosecution has said it will continue
pursuing his execution. I win cases, and will not let them kill
Mumia.<br><br>
