The city of Philadelphia is poised to revisit one of its most contentious murders as prison activist Mumia Abu-Jamal fights for another day in court in a 1981 police slaying. Maureen Faulkner fears she will never find closure in the criminal justice system after nearly 40 years. She filed a petition Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019 to get Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office recused from the case after Krasner failed to oppose Abu-Jamal’s bid for a new court hearing.(AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)
