FILE - In this July 12, 1995 file photo, Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted of killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981, leaves a Philadelphia court. The Supreme Court on Tuesday Jan. 19, 2010 threw out a court ruling that invalidated Abu-Jamal’s death sentence for killing Faulkner. The justices ordered the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to take another look at Abu-Jamal's claim that the jury weighing his punishment was given flawed instructions.
