[Ed.: The facts of Jamal's case have never been credibly disputed. Working at the time as a radical journalist and cab driver, Jamal happened to be driving by as he saw officer Faulkner pull over his brother, William Cook, for a traffic violation. Jamal ran across the street and shot Faulkner in the back. Faulkner was able to return fire and hit Jamal in the chest, after which Jamal stood over Faulkner and shot him four more times. When police arrived on the scene, they found Faulkner dying of his wounds, and Jamal sitting on a curb nearby, wearing a holster, his .38 caliber revolver at his feet with five spent cartridges in it.]
