USA - Pennsylvania. Seifullah Abdul-Salaam sentenced to LWOP

MARCH 28, 2025 - Pennsylvania. Seifullah Abdul-Salaam sentenced to LWOP

At the end of resentencing

Seifullah Abdul-Salaam, 54, Black, was sentenced to death for the 1994 killing of Police Officer Willis Cole. Cole was shot while responding to a robbery at a coin shop. A higher court ruled that Salaam’s abusive childhood was not properly addressed at his first trial and could have swayed the jury. A new jury heard testimony in Carlisle over the past week but could not come to a decision. Due to the jury not being able to come to a decision, Salaam will instead serve life in prison without the chance of parole.

He will be back in court in one week for his official sentencing.
