A federal judge Tuesday overturned the death sentence of former journalist and Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, and ordered a new sentencing hearing for the convicted cop-killer.<p>U.S. District Judge William Yohn let stand Abu-Jamal's conviction for the Dec. 9, 1981, murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, however, denying the death row inmate's request for a new trial. But Yohn gave the state 180 days to conduct a fresh sentencing hearing, citing errors in the original penalty phase of his murder trial.<p>Abu-Jamal is a cause celebre among death penalty opponents around the world, including Hollywood celebrities and European public figures, many of whom regard him as a political prisoner.<p>Philadelphia prosecutors say Abu-Jamal murdered Faulkner during a shootout more than 20 years ago, after the police officer pulled over his brother for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Abu-Jamal, who was wounded in the chest, contends he was shot while running away.<p>With dogged backing from a network of supporters, Abu-Jamal has repeatedly maintained his innocence in Faulkner's death and launched numerous legal appeals to stall his execution. <!-- TextEnd --> <!-- TL --><p><center><font size=2 face=arial><a
