MUMIA ABU-JAMAL

*Mumia Abu-Jamal supporters say they will march outside of NBC's "Today" show Thursday in connection with the scheduled appearance of Maureen Faulker - the widow of Philadelphia police office Daniel Faulker, whom Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering 25 years ago.

Faulker will visit the morning program to promote her new book, "Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Pain, Loss and Injustice." The "Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition" says they have demanded "equal time" on the show, but "as of yet have gotten no agreement to that," according to a posting on the group's Web site.

Faulkner told Page Six via a statement: "After 26 years of this harrowing experience, the purpose of writing this book is to finally find a peaceful closure to my husband's tragic ending. A jury of 12 convicted Mumia Abu-Jamal of murdering my husband, and for 25 years Abu- Jamal has been on death row acting as if he was a Hollywood superstar or political prisoner . . . He has a voice, and my late husband doesn't."

The Free Mumia Coalition protest is scheduled to take place outside of Rockefeller Center, where the "Today" show is broadcast live weekday mornings from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
