"largely smoke and mirrors" is what they said about the defence, even though 7 of the witnesses recanted their previous statements?
That is what you get from a justice system which is a CONTEST OF EGOS AND PUBLIC IMAGE. Very similar to America's foriegn policy. The poor get screwed while the powerful send out their message "don't fuck with us" and money talks!
Although I'm in Britain, an ex-empire that's gone to seed, I just hold you in contempt and pity the stupidity of such a system!
@TheKittiesKill who are you to say that troy davis was guilty? Were you there? And for the record, doin research is irrelevant w/o substantial evidence even being present. Can't show evidence if evidence isn't present. So I think you should learn more about his case before you comment.
This world is a terrible place. Anyone who thinks otherwise is insane. The tortures this family has gone through are beyond comprehension. And there can be ZERO justification for the death penalty, because humans will ALWAYS be subject to error, and the process will always be subject to spinning out of control. This man was innocent. They got the wrong guy.
I am supporter of the capital punishment, despite there was executed might (might not) an innocent man. I would order the execution in absolute clear cases only. I mean with DNA evidence, witnesses, and expert examinations by various forensic experts and absolute consensus of jury. This case would have to be judged and studied by tens of judges and law attorneys, before the final verdict is pronounced to ensure absolute certainty.
I empathize with the family of Troy Davis. I am so sorry for all you have all gone through. Although I have never met Troy, I shed heartfelt tears for him. May Troy's soul rest in perfect peace. Troy had enough of emotional torture and I believe he is now resting with Jesus. May God bless, uphold and comfort the bereaved family
@Ugandangirl That's not true. Poor people in general, esp if they are accused of killing a white person, could be Troy Davis in America. But there are Troy Davises all over the world. I'm from Iran and I find it interesting that the court system there is based largely on emotion and they use that to kill people. And in this country it about going based on policy but the end result is the same. Someone dies. America cannot say that they are better that other countries on human rights anymore.
Jim Crow, Lynch and the KKK ...their beliefs live. We need to stop being our own worst enemy. Let's start working together, supporting our community,our businesses, black colleges and get involved in the justice system. Keep our Black leaders accountable. This is a sad situation, but it is happening every day. Condolence to your family... Rest in peace my brother... you are home now.
Can't bring back the dead but Casey Anthony should be the dead one 6 feet under. Karma is gonna hit those racist people in Georgia so bad...I dont want them to die, i want them to suffer and let them feel the pain, put them behind bars for life and give em the chair and let their families watch them die......Troy is gonna own Georgia... Watch!!!
Troy's in a better place now. He had faith and his faith saved him. He was a Godly man and everyone knows that. The American justice system murdered Troy because he was a black man.
@davidverney Oh he is in a better place alright... he is burning in Hell right now. It took 22 years but justice was at last served. RIP Mark MacPhail.
I'm so so sorry. We petitioned, we tried. I feel terrible that we could not save him. Love and peace to the family: we know you are going to keep campaigning for others like Troy. He must have been so proud of you. You will need a lot of strength, but something tells me you have it! Best of luck in the future and love from Kelly and friends in the UK. Troy Davis R.I.P xxx
R.I.P. May you Troy Davis walk with Jesus side by side. May the people who sentenced you and not listened to your innocence pleas may God have mercy on their souls<3 Much love to the family our prayers go out to you<3
I DID NOT WANT TO LOOK AT THIS AND I DID NOT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SOME GUY DIEING WHO MAY HAD KILL SOME GOOD COP " BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID " THIS WAS IMPORTANT "
This is a prime example of how WHITE AMERICA values black men. THEY DON'T. If you know your history a confederate flag symbolizes NO freedom to the black man, Black MEN are feared by white people becasue of their strengh, resiliency, and awesome talent. BUT NOT RESPECTED sadly even by their own women. His killing is an example to all black men, to stop trying to be great and BOW DOWN TO THE WHITE MAN. THEY KNOW HE DID'NT DO IT. .No one gets away with anything, those responsible will soon PAY.
Martina, we want you and De'Jaun to always remember that you will see Troy again in paradise. Rejoice for him because he walks with The King! God said vengeance is mine to repay and the real killer Sylvester "Redd" Coles will face the wrath of God. The Lord was tired of Troy being caged like an animal and gave him rest because he has been through hell. God bless you and stay strong! We support you and all that you do for the community! You're an awesome mom and one last thing....I AM TROY DAVIS
The State of Georgia has one of the worse (if not the worse) justice systems in America. They are unorganized and careless about who's innocent. Admitting they made a mistake would cost a ton of money and assert mass doubt in the legal system. The real killers (prosecutor, possibly one of the witnesses) would then be held responsible.
You got my support! I was locked up and I know people who were sent to the death chamber. I knew also innocent people also. Troy is innocent and deserves freedom!
This morning, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles denied clemency to Troy Anthony Davis. His execution remains scheduled for Wednesday September 21 at 7pm.
