November 21, 2001 Memorandum and Order of Dismissal of PCRA Petition

Posted July 7, 2006. In this "Memorandum and Order," Judge Pamely Pryor Dembe announces her intention to deny Mumia Abu-Jamal's 2nd PCRA petition filed on July 3, 2001. Dembe did in fact deny the petition on December 11, 2001. That decision was appealed to the Pnnsylvania Supreme Court (PSC) by the defense. The PSC denied the petition and accompanying material including the August 28, 2001, affidavit by Terri Maurer-Carter Carter on trial judge Albert F. Sabo's remark about "frying the nigger" on October 8, 2003. The defense's petition to the U.S. Supreme Court for writ of certiorari was denied on May 17, 2004.
