Today on FOX43 News First at Four, we’ll tell you about a 24 year old murder case that is back in the news. Seifullah Abdul-Salaam was convicted in the 1994 shooting death of New Cumberland police officer Willis Cole, but has won the right to appeal his death penalty. Cumberland County District Attorney Skip Ebert is reviewing the case and deciding whether or not the original death sentence should stay in place. Abdul-Salaam’s claim is that he was abused by a violent father. His attorney states that had that information been presented at the original trial, the death penalty might have been removed as a sentencing option. You can expect more on this story coming up First at Four.
