Abu-Jamal still maintains his innocence, and his case is not all that different from that of Troy Davis, also accused of killing a cop, and who was executed, despite a mountain of evidence showing that he was innocent. At least Abu-Jamal is not going to meet the same fate.... For now. Good call, SCOTUS.
