Maureen Faulkner—the widow of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, who was murdered by Mumia Abu-Jamal during a traffic stop in 1981—says that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's office should be disqualified from overseeing any appeals of that case.
According to NBC News , Krasner has said he has uncovered potentially damaging evidence about the prosecution's trial witnesses from the original legal proceedings.
Because of a Supreme Court ruling last year, Abu-Jamal is eligible for another appeal of his murder conviction.
Faulkner wants Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro to take over the appeal.
Commenting on the ongoing saga of Abu-Jamal's repeated appeals, Maureen Faulkner said, "I'm in a mental prison."
