Atlanta-AP -- The former radical once called H. Rap Brown faces a possible death sentence after being convicted in Atlanta of murdering a sheriff's deputy.A jury found Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (jah-MEEL' ab-DUHL'-uh al-ah-MEEN') guilty of killing Deputy Ricky Kinchen and wounding another deputy during a shootout two years ago.Besides murder, Al-Amin was also convicted of aggravated assault on a police officer, obstruction and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.Next comes the penalty phase. The jury will decide whether Al-Amin gets death or life in prison. He's 58 years old.Deliberations stretched ten hours over two days following a three week trial. The defense argued mistaken identity, but also suggested Al-Amin was framed by the government because of his radicalism during the 1960's.

    Talk about an opportunity to improve the gene pool! Hope Jesse Jackson is holding his hand when they turn on the juice.
