June 22: Former Death Row Prisoner Abu-Ali Abdur’Rahman Dies; Glenn Funk Adds a Job
Abu-Ali Abdur’Rahman, a Tennessee death row prisoner, died of liver cancer at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. His death sentence was set aside in 2019 due to prosecutorial misconduct and racial bias, leading to a 2021 life sentence. Glenn Funk, Nashville District Attorney, played a key role in the legal reversal.
