Convicted police killer Mumia Abu-Jamal moved to fire...

Convicted police killer Mumia Abu-Jamal moved to fire his longtime legal team, maintaining that one of his attorneys breached ethical guidelines by writing an "inside account" of the case that has become an international cause celebre. Abu-Jamal's handwritten motion - the 1st serious sign of dissension among his supporters - was filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia. He is on death row for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. If the motion is approved, Abu-Jamal would represent himself until he can hire a new legal team. It would also undoubtedly cause a further delay in his appellate attempt.
