This man is to be executed tomorrow for a crime where no pysical evidence is present. Just spare a little time reading this story and if you feel, the same as I and so many do, that this is an injustice then please sign or compose an email via the link below.

Thanks

    Done.
  • Done
  • I am familiar with this story. I don't put much emphasis on eye witness testimony to begin with, the mind has ways of deceiving us.

    Plus I'm against the death penalty anyway, so consider it done.
  • Sadly, clemency was denied for Troy today. Barbaric.

    Read up on this also: http://bluelinelawyer.com/2011/09/18/eq ... -macphail/

    Where is Officer MacPhail's justice? We will probably never know if Davis is the one who pulled the trigger, but he was found guilty and he will pay for his crime. Davis was there, present at the scene, while he and an associate pistol-whipped a defenseless homeless man. During this savage act, and in this moment of time, Davis and/or his associate would be the one's responsible for Officer MacPhail to be killed all because Officer MacPhail was attempting to help an individual in need.

    Ah that is true but if the evidence is not there THAT HE KILLED HIM than he should not be put to death. That's just basic Criminal Justice really.

    Done.

    If a witness recants or changes their statement then there should be a retrail. This is why I DO NOT believe in the death penalty. He may indeed be guilty but if evidence has changed then he as well as the victims family deserve the truth to come out.

  • I AM TROY DAVIS AND I AM FREE!



    To All:



    I want to thank all of you for your efforts and dedication to Human Rights and Human Kindness, in the past year I have experienced such emotion, joy, sadness and never ending faith. It is because of all of you that I am alive today, as I look at my sister Martina I am marveled by the love she has for me and of course I worry about her and her health, but as she tells me she is the eldest and she will not back down from this fight to save my life and prove to the world that I am innocent of this terrible crime.



    As I look at my mail from across the globe, from places I have never ever dreamed I would know about and people speaking languages and expressing cultures and religions I could only hope to one day see first hand. I am humbled by the emotion that fills my heart with overwhelming, overflowing Joy. I can’t even explain the insurgence of emotion I feel when I try to express the strength I draw from you all, it compounds my faith and it shows me yet again that this is not a case about the death penalty, this is not a case about Troy Davis, this is a case about Justice and the Human Spirit to see Justice prevail.



    I cannot answer all of your letters but I do read them all, I cannot see you all but I can imagine your faces, I cannot hear you speak but your letters take me to the far reaches of the world, I cannot touch you physically but I feel your warmth everyday I exist.



    So Thank you and remember I am in a place where execution can only destroy your physical form but because of my faith in God, my family and all of you I have been spiritually free for some time and no matter what happens in the days, weeks to come, this Movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose a system that fails to protect the innocent must be accelerated. There are so many more Troy Davis’. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this Unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country.



    I can’t wait to Stand with you, no matter if that is in physical or spiritual form, I will one day be announcing,



    “I AM TROY DAVIS, and I AM FREE!”



    Never Stop Fighting for Justice and We will Win!
