At approximately 3:51 a.m. on December 9, 1981, Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner pulled over a light blue Volkswagen for what should have been a routine traffic stop.  Within minutes, the stop turned deadly.  William Cook, the driver of the Volkswagen, got out of the  vehicle and confronted Officer Faulkner.  Cook punched Officer Faulkner, leading to a struggle. Cook’s brother, Wesley, a/k/a Mumia Abu-Jamal, was across the street, sitting in his cab.  Abu-Jamal ran across the street and shot Officer Faulkner in the back with a .38 pistol.  As Officer Faulkner fell, he was able to pull his service weapon and shoot Abu-Jamal in the stomach.  After Officer Faulkner fell, Abu-Jamal stood over him and fired four more times.  Officer Faulkner suffered an instantly fatal, close-range gunshot wound to the forehead.  Officer Faulkner’s back-up arrived within seconds of the shooting to find Officer Faulkner fatally wounded, Abu-Jamal sitting on the curb a few feet away from his victim and Cook standing against a nearby wall.  Cook’s first words to police as he was arrested were, “I ain’t got nothing to do with it.”  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Monday, May 6, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for Part 4 of Clear & Convincing’s series on Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Wesley Cook, a/k/a Mumia Abu-Jamal.  We’ll conclude our review of the case with a discussion about the claims made in federal court in an effort to win a new trial.  Then, we’ll talk about the myths that have been cited by advocates of Abu-Jamal as proof of his innocence.  Finally, we’ll discuss the documentaries about the case and the criticism of works that did not present Abu-Jamal’s “innocence narrative.” We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
