Greetings, fellow crime buffs!

This week's article begins a series on the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. This case is really a polarizing one, with both sides, including celebrities, hotly debating the guilt or innocence of convicted murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal. The first article gives a brief background of the case and overview of the prosecution. Subsequent articles will focus on the defense, retrial and updates, and the guilt vs. innocence debate. This is definitely a complicated crime and I hope to give a well-rounded picture of all views on the case.

Here's the latest article from the Crime site at BellaOnline.com.
