According to a report by Reuters, a Philadelphia judge has allowed convicted police-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal to launch a new appeal, ruling that a former chief justice should have recused himself from the inmate’s previous appeals. Abu-Jamal, a former black nationalist and public radio reporter, was sentenced to death for the 1981 killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. In 2011, his sentence was commuted to life without parole.

A Philadelphia judge has ruled that an Amtrak engineer must face a trial for a fatal derailment in 2015.
According to Judge Kathryn Streeter Lewis, charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment have been reinstituted against Brandon Bostian.
Prosecutors added that a previous judge had dismissed the criminal charges.
Judge Thomas Gehret made that decision last September, citing evidence which suggested the derailment was not caused by a criminal act.

When Constand, a Temple women’s basketball staffer, mentioned that her back was bothering her, the 66-year-old comedian offered his “layman’s” fix in the women’s locker room.
