Will mumia abu-jamal be re-sentenced with a death penalty?

Hubdub users say: prosecutors drop death penalty, mumia gets life in prison (46% chance 2% )
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is prosecutors drop death penalty, mumia gets life in prison with a probability of 46% (up 2% in last 1 day)

mumia abu-jamal was convicted of killing philadelphia police officer daniel faulkner in 1982 and sentenced to death...the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals became the second federal court to rule that his conviction stands, but overturned the death sentence based on errors in jury instructions...will prosecutors appeal yet again? if prosecutors decide not to seek death penalty, life in prison will automatically be imposed
