I BET THE OFFICERS MOTHER STILL HASNT BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE THAT IMAGINARY BOOK THE DA TEAM HAS PAINTED IN HER HEAD AND BRAINWASHED HER INTO THINKING JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED...NO IT HASNT HER SONS KILLER IS STILL ALIVE AND A INNOCENT ONE IS DEAD...I SURE HOPE SHE FINDS JESUS BEFORE SHE PASSES ON MEET OUR MAKER..SHE HAS ALONG WAY TO GO STARTIING YESTERDAY.
@Ginlovesauburn Two months ago, I knew it was a huge waste of time to argue with irrational haters of the USA & erased all my comments. Looks like many of you can't close that imaginary book the media has painted for your feeble, easily impressionable mind & brainwashed you into thinking justice wasn't served. Mark McPhail's murderous executioner was finally given justice. I sure hope Davis made peace with Satan before he passed on.Davis could've shot himself & saved everybody 20 years of grief.
@realitystrucku I doubt you've read the "real facts" either. I'll take the verdict of 12 jurors who sat and listened to every piece of evidence and decided an unanimous guilty verdict. I couldn't care less with what the rabid street mob of anti-death loonies managed to do after the fact by misconstruing "evidence", threatening and pressuring jurors and eye witnesses, etc.
@SexJunkle I'm not saying he was innocent nor guilty....I wasn't there what I'm saying is that if there is doubt then how and why did he get the death penalty. There was serious doubt...to me it doesn't make sense...this case can easily be any of us that's all...it's not about race or anything it's about what's ethical...but the law isn't always ethical, that's all I'm saying
@realitystrucku I don't think anybody denies the fact he committed similar shootings in the weeks or days before. Bullets were matched from both crime scenes to his gun, so it wasn't based solely on "eye witness" testimony but actual forensic evidence. Yeah, he shot the first time when nobody was hit and was seen doing it, but this SECOND time in which he hit his mark and killed someone and was again seen doing it, nah, THAT time someone else did it!!! Bullshit with a capital B.
@realitystrucku Oh I see, another unrelated shooting incidence of his from an even earlier date? lol t's all moot at this point if there is real justice in the world, he's dead and burning in hell right now as you type.
@TEHWHITEDEVIL we all have to die so ummmm what's your point ? And i think living in heaven with the king is much better than living on this earth...so you are right about that my friend! :) try another insult beacuse this one failed!
The only injustice is it took 22 years to put him to death. Time to end the appeals gravy train for lawyers and carry out all executions in 5 years time.
@realitystrucku Maybe Aliens did it? I deal in reality. 22 years was more than ample time for evidence to be brought forward. 5 years would be enough. These 1990 and earlier death convictions are all drawing to an end. Nobody gets convicted these days and put on death row based solely on eye witness testimony anymore. Now it's all about forensics, DNA, and actual video. You wouldn't know that by the anti-death penalty crowd that have watched To Kill a Mockingbird one too many times.
@70scarrestoguy ok and that's STILL your opinion, I don't know if he was innocent of guilty,neither do you and the people who killed Troy didn't know that either to kill him.
@70scarrestoguy LOL with that introduction of your weekend you should be novelist...very nice...and my weekend was filled with studying for my computer science midterm....AND AGAIN YOU WEREN'T THERE IN 1989 SO YOU DON'T KNOW...unless you were there so try again buddy!
@armyveteran101st Fair enough. I agree that this man should have not been put to death due to serious doubt regarding this case. I'm not going to say he is innocent, but I cant agree with a man being put to death for not being 100% sure
people please stop falling to these people level let them argue by themselves because you still have people like that in this world and it can't be change.They do not even know the reason they hate they just grew up listening to everyone else and following there ignorance.if there parents would say they love others then they will feel the same way so if thats how they was raise you can not change them.only pray for them because in heaven we all will be in the same place.while they are in hell.

@andyisaboy15 Ithink you really a girl and you can tell him all the things you want him to know since you think he is in hell because that's where you heading if you don't get god in your life.@MRSpeartip the same for you and all the name calling does not worry people anymore I do not know why they even responding to it.@The RosettaStoned you are just hopeless.@jburr your cancer is eating you up so get right.last but least@sgtkixGod help your soul cause your life has no meaning.
Trust and believe that if they killed this man for no reason they are going to have to deal with revenge from the lord.And if Troy was guilty God knows it so people stop killing these people epecially the if they did not do it.Use this for and example if Casey Anthony thinks for one time she is getting away with killing that baby she is wrong because what god has for her for killing his angel is going to be far from easy life .so to say that all these people who had hands in this have to see god
Now Now people everyone is so upset that you are not thinking clear the clear picture is it is election time.If you notice no one gets a pardon doing election time because they think they are doing what the people want so anything to get votes they are not concern with how we feel about what is going on with these family. and that officer family needs to know they did not do it for them but they did it for themselves.I feel for both families no one wins in this situation I to had a son murdered.
@huytran have you actually read the court documents from the 2010 hearing with judge Moore where the "recantations" were heard. They do not leave anything beyond reasonable doubt. If you haven't I would encourage you to do so because they are very inconsistent
@valenciay22 Since capital punishment is so seldom actually used, it’s not much of a deterrent. Why do you think the average murderer kills and takes the risk of at least a very long prison sentence when in most cases the “rewards” are minuscule, a relatively small amount of money or a few minutes sexual gratification? If capital punishment is immoral, it pales in terms of numbers compared to murder. How would you address the larger problem in that case?
@valenciay22 thats very true..but is it fair to let the killer get 3 meals a day for the rest of their life? I think they should bring back life with hard labor...now that would be fair...
FUCK THAT... MS.MacPhail needs to be on death row.. for wanting a innocent maN KILLED.. this shit done pissed me off...we can tell that yu are a careless and the MOST WORTHLESS PERSON ON THIS EARTH!!
FUCK THAT... MS.MacPhail needs to be on death row.. for wanting a innocent ma.. this shit done pissed me off...we can tell that yu are a careless and the MOST WORTHLESS PERSON ON THIS EARTH!!
@ILoveMy2Babies1 If it wouldn't deprive two children of their mother I'd say you shold be od death row for defending a murdering thug and calling for the murder of member of his victim's family.
Troy Davis has won the PR war so I through fighting it. But that scumbag was guilty.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they - Ecclesiastes 5:8
THE REASON WHY HIS CLEMENCY WAS DENIED WAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE DECISION WERE RACIST REDNECK ASSHOLES ! VERY COMMON IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. GEORGIA IS A VERY BACKWARDS AND UNJUST STATE! THEIR WHOLE COURT SYSTEMS ARE FILLED WITH HEARTLESS ASSHOLES !
Further more you obviously oppose the death penalty and that's your right too and due to your lack of knowledge in guns it's pretty safe to assume you're not really into those either but put yourself in different shoes what if you were officer macPhails family
The firing pin inside the gun? When that hammer hits the bullet " ya know make it go 'BOOM'" it leaves a mark on the casing that is distinct to each type of gun meaning they can figure out what type of gun it was fired from
@huytran you obviously have no knowledge of guns what so ever if you really believe your statement of "No guns with bullet casings means that the only thing they could prove is how many bullets were fired at the victims" let me see if I can Fischer Price this for you
….then WHITE FOLKS (especially in the media) have the NERVE to get mad at Reverend Jeremiah Wright when he said, ''GOD DAMN AMERICA". Anytime you go into somebody else's house & say, "Give it to me, it's mine", like Columbus did the Indians then stuck them on a reserve- will not cause a blessing. America is going DOWN. LETS BURN AMERICA DOWN.
a man was convicted of a crime he did not commit. No evidence to prove he is guilty, no weapon found on him, 7 out of 9 who made a statement earlier changed their statements proclaiming they were forced to say he did it, served over 20 years & then finally robbed of his life. Where is justice? fuck the system! the truth will come out some day by then TROY would be smiling from heaven saying i told u R.I.P
I just watched the old bitch on WXIA News and she say's she slept well last night and when she woke up she saw a rainbow over her house and that it was a sign from god and she saw her son and her dead husband and they can rest now. What a fucking bag of shit she is! That was all bullshit that bitch didn't sleep a wink.
This Lady looks as if she was on her 10 th Bud wiser Beer and 5 shot of gin ...dam shame how these people only want to make someone pay no proof just pay....Some One can now walk up to her and say how they killed her son and she would not believe their story ..She will only say how Justice has been done ...But God has the final say I am Proud that Troy Davis did not take a sedative to relax God took him ASAP....HE IS NOW RESTING....NEAR HER SON...
LOL @ this old bat wanting a man to die for "piece of mind". Bet she calls herself a Christian and tells herself she does not believe in revenge. LOL She has fully convinced herself because it is easier than accepting the fact her sons killer could be in Hawaii drinking a cocktail.
It is so disappointing that The MacPhail family talks about having peace. You obviously do not understand the meaning of peace. An innocent man's life was mistakenly taken away. Troy Davis was innocent, and millions of people petitioned for his life, doesn't that tell you anything? and still you would side with the Justice System, the one that doesn't see the importance of human life? I hope you have received your peace...
so what they executed another death row inmate the one in texas tied a black man up cut his throught and dragged him till his death..him and his co defendents were found guily they told on eachother..in troys case no dna no gun wintnesses say they were forced to lie.and how is it possible no proof/
What do you expect but murder of innocents from a country that has mass murdered as many people as Hitler since WWII. Obama drones are terrorizing the skies murdering children every day. Better watch out Obama drones are coming for you next.
@ZekeZeke80 He probably upheld his story because he did not want to be found guilty. The neighbor and inmate could have been in on it. People do lie, belive it or not. Either way, I still believe that man was innocent. If in the future they find that he really didn't do it, Georgia, the entire country, and quite possibly the rest of the world will have a huge problem on their hands. I say this because a few years ago even the Pope believed Troy Davis was innocent. Many people still do.
@ZekeZeke80 Out of those 32 witnesses ONLY 9 were willing to testify that they saw Davis. And out of that 9, 7 have said that they were either forced to testify or that they were mistaken. One guy did not want to be involved and the last guy actually owned the same type of gun that killed the cop. Davis did not own that gun. What else do you want? Are you saying that because he declared his innocence up until the moment he died, that he is evil? You are wrong. The Death Penalty is evil.
@ZekeZeke80 "No evidence" was a figure of speech. What I meant was that there was WAY more evidence to convict Casey than there was to convict Troy, yet she was found innocent. It was reported that Troy did not own a .38 caliber gun. Also, one of the two jurors did not want to comment anymore on the case. Why? Because he/she didn't want to face any wrath when Davis was killed. The other juror that maintained his statement actually OWNS a .38 caliber gun.
Seriously fuck this shit, I'm disgraced to be an American. Seriously, the only thing I like here is a central heating system and football. Otherwise, fuck the racists in our country. I don't approve of the death penalty. If you have one innocent man out of 100 men, are you really going to kill all 100 of them just to get "justice"? How can you live with yourself knowing that you might have killed even just One innocent person? Fuck that shit.

what hurts the most is how his mother says now its over and she can close the book im like bitch HOW when almost all the witnesses recanted i hope the same guy that killed her son comes back to finish her off too
@dawny70 Why? Because she gave birth to the victim? Because she wants justice? You fucking racist liberals are beyond pathetic. I remember on the night of his execution this board being spammed by his supporters claiming a last minute stay granted by the US Supreme Court. Which was utterly false and completely delusional and just illustrates the lunacy of you dumb fucks. Innocent of this particular crime? Yup, guilty of similar crimes just weeks before, but not this one! Good grief...
Oh yea, and some jurors allegedly "recanted". Was that before or after they were singled out and pressured & harassed by the lunatic street mob? The bullets of Davis' gun "magically" appeared in the victim, which was the same gun used by Davis in another shooting. How did bullets from Davis' gun end up in the victim? Did some random stranger "steal" his gun, who just happened to look identical to him as well? And then of course witnesses mistook innocent Davis for his identical evil twin.
I'M SOOO SORRY FOR THIS UNJUSTICE!...GOD WIL COME AGAINST TO THE UNJUST PEOPLE THAT KILL TROY AND THE PEOPLE WHO CELEBRATED HIS DEATH..THESE PEOPLE PUT THEIR OWN CURSE IN THEIR LIVES BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS UNJUSTICE!....GOD WILL VINDICATE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!...
Ms. MacPhail said that Troy Davis "convinced himself that he was innocent" ( a newspaper quote). No, I think she and her family "convinced themselves that Troy was guilty. How else would one explain them totally ignoring and dismissing overwhelming evidence that suggested Troy's innocence. If they really wanted justice for Officer MacPhail..if that were truly their intention..they would have been open to ALL of the evidence & asked that Troy be allowed to take the polygraph test as he requested.
Ms.MacPhail talked of having peace.....having closure.MY GOD! Really lady? With the real killer of your son still walking the streets, you NOW have peace? I guess the MacPhail family just wanted ANY Black man to pay for their son's death....the RIGHT Black man didn't matter to them....any Black man would do.... Well, she and the MacPhail family STILL didn't receive justice for Officer MacPhail....the killer is still ALIVE and FREE......
NO YOU ARE THE IDIOT! Racism JUNK? I cant' stand obtuse, uneducated whites like you! If you did your research, or were able to read, you will see that the justice system, just like every major system in this country is saturated with racism. Yes, it happens to white people, but it happens MUCH more to poor, black men. Look up the Statistics and FACTS! Black men are 7xs more likely to receive a jail sentence and their white counterparts probation, for committing the SAME CRIME!

Casey Anthony free, Troy Davis dead. David Duke gets votes, MLK gets lead. America counts carbs, Africa is hungry. Po' folks get the bill, fuckin bank gets all the money.
Im white and not a racist...its a shame the courts ignored that..but for the dumb bitches mother she cant see that it wasnt Davis?? and she'll be able to close the book n sleep at night for an innocent man being put to death?? That goes to show how most of this country is living in a fantasy world and a cloud of delusion that the justice system is always right...unbelievable, what a sad day....

if this guy was so innocent, why didn't the f'n witnesses get their stories st8 before naming his as the shooter??? This guy wouldn't have been on death row had the eye witnesses lied
whats relevant here is this man hd numerous resources and over 20 years to overturn his guilty verdict. It seems like alot of you dont get it. He was already proven guilty and sentenced. He was not automatically guilty he was proben guilty by ballistics and sworn testimony.Over 20 years went by an he couldnt overturn the verdict. Not even with the help of those racist fucks from the naacp.
“The court specifically warned Davis that his refusal to call his only two genuinely recanting witnesses would make their affidavits worthless. But Davis still refused to call them -- suggesting, as the court said, that their lawyer-drafted affidavits would not have held up under cross-examination.”
“Only two of the seven alleged "recantations" (out of 34 witnesses) actually recanted anything of value -- and those two affidavits were discounted by the court because Davis refused to allow the affiants to testify at the post-trial evidentiary hearing, even though one was seated right outside the courtroom, waiting to appear. (contiinued)
@controversyking For the sake of argument say Troy Davis did kill MacPhail where do you get racist from? You think under the same circumstances he wouldn't have shot him if he were black? You're an idiot and you're the racist. This case became a crime of race because white people have made it so. If he was guilty, he was guilty of killing a human being, who cares that the person was white or not?! Bet you wouldn't give a shit and not even posting here if MacPhail was black.
lol she's german hahaha ^^ remember when germans murdered a certain group of people because they thought those were responsible for all trouble? seems they still can "have peace of mind" and "close ze book" by doing that :)
@controversyking And I'm tired of racist like you assuming that because people want the right thing to be done, it has to be because he's black. I don't care if Troy Davis was purple, if he hasn't been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he should still be alive. The worst case scenario is he spends the rest of his life in jail while on trail. To kill just for killings' sake is just plain wrong. Besides you act like being in jail is walk a in the park.
PS there were plenty of white people who said he was innocent. People former Republican Congressman, Bob Barr, former FBI Director William Sessions. People who probably know more about the Law then you ever did. So before you start spewing your obvious ignorance you should remember this saying:
Better to be thought as a fool then open your mouth and remove all doubt.
the mother of the slain policeman has got to be joking. peace of mind? how can you have peace of mind if there was no evidence against him. im sorry america but this is racism at its greatest. absolutely disgusting.
@joeyluvshouse What do you mean going downhill! Like everybody else's country isn't.... What is every other country perfect?! One big thing happens and you act like this doesn't happen in others!
@controversyking how about you stop being so pathetic and use your brain. It's not always about race, YOU'RE making it seem like it's about race, because that's your opinion. I'm Italian and I support him. BLACK BLACK BLACK is your only argument. if that's it, then atleast fucking use the right term: African American. And really? Didn't see too many OJ supporters...and he was...what? BLACK.
if you read the whole story you will see he was a criminal..probably killed before..this time he got caught...abunch of rainbow people whipped up abunch of sheep to help..this kind of thing plays over and over in America ..no one has learned anything..the guy was guilty and go get a life...
@HamTheDog There is no evidence that Davis killed before, only non-fatally shot somewhat else on the same night previous to the murder. Davis was also convicted of the first shooting. The shell casings of the two shootings matched, though the gun was never recovered. .
@HamTheDog The problem with this line of thinking is that it goes counter to the fundamental principle of our "justice" system - that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Should the police be able to scoop you up where ever you are at and simply say that you are guilty because "you probably committed some crime before"?
The system is SO fucking imbalanced...CASEY ANTHONY can get away with killing her child and blatantly covering it up with so much evidence pointing towards her. Yet this man had to spent 20 years in prison and die by lethal injection with next to NOTHING evidence suggesting he committed the murder of a police officer. It really upsets me that an Innocent man has had to go through this, cause it is not just him who suffer, its his whole family and the people who love him!
there is not real justice in this country , i am european but living in america for years. If this guy was white and was going to a nice college, coming from a nice and respected family he would be walking around now free...but lets be honest here not even an african american president could change things. Blacks are already labeled like the bad guys even if they are good, and this is coming from me who i am a white person. This guy was murdered!
@781Cesare The problem with your remarks is that the very same day Davis was executed so was a white supremacist who brutally murdered a black man in Texas. Many have bought the defense spin that “7 of 9” witnesses recanted. There were actually 35 including two servicemen who did not recant. One observed “You don’t forget a man standing over another man and shooting him.” (continued)
@litwriter100 where did you get your facts? And who would be stupid enough to shoot someone in front of 35 eye witnesses? Where did you fabricate these 35 witnesses from? Seems you know more than the media. Please share.
@marvenp It was actually 34. Mea Culpa. YouTube won't allow links. Search for "Troy Davis" + "Ann Coulter" and read her article: ”Cop-Killer is Media’s Latest Baby Seal.” Also, there *was* physical evidence. The shell casings matched both shootings that night and Davis was convicted of the other shooting as well. Therefore, you’d have to claim that Davis was falsely convicted in both shootings. No gun recovered? Now what murderer would get rid of the murder weapon if possible?
@litwriter100 No gun with bullet casings means that the only thing they could prove is how many bullets were fired at the victims. Davis's conviction in the other shooting was also based on "witness testimony." Davis was falsely convicted in the other shooting because he was tried for all of those crimes at once. Prosecution theory was that he was on a crazy gun toting binge that night.
@litwriter100 and while there were 34 total witnesses, only 9 of those witnesses were the ones who IDed Davis as the murderer. The rest of the witnesses were you standard foundation witnesses, like the officers who investigated the crime, the coroner who testified as to cause of death, etc. 7 of those 9 witnesses eventually recanted, some of whom even saying that it was one of the two remaining witnesses who shot MacPhail, not Davis. All of them said the police pressured them into testifying.
@huytran According to the Coulter article, only two of the eyewitnesses recanted anything of significance. In regard to the two, why did Davis refuse to call them at a post-trial evidentiary hearing? One of them was right outside ready to testify. The implication seems to have been that Davis knew they wouldn’t hold up to cross-examination.
@litwriter100 Are you referring to the Ann Coulter article? I generally don't credit anything that comes from that vile woman's mouth, but to address your point (and I only speculate here since I would have to read through the case transcripts to get a much better idea of what Davis's counsel's considerations were) - Witness testimony without physical evidence is still circumstantial, so the credibility of those two witnesses may have been such that calling them back during the post-trial
@litwriter100 hearing would have been more damaging to Davis than helpful. Also, these witnesses recanted after the trial ended, so the time between their testimony at court, their affidavit, and the post-trial evidentiary hearing could have been such that defense counsel believed that the affidavit was more reliable than the witness's recantation. Finally, ineffective assistance of counsel was one of the grounds for appeal. It is quite possible that defense counsel simply made a mistake.

Finally, ineffective assistance of counsel was one of the grounds for appeal. It is quite possible that defense counsel simply made a mistake.
@litwriter100 Again though, these reasons are purely speculative.
The crux of the argument against Davis's execution is this: His execution was based only on 9 witness IDs. When 7 of those witnesses then change their mind, his guilt is no longer beyond a reasonable doubt. The death penalty is final. There is no way to make amends if our justice system was wrong in concluding that Davis was in fact the murderer.
@huytran Thank you. I am only interested in Coulter’s article as a conduit of factual information. Her political views, like those of Amnesty International, don’t otherwise concern me. If either misstates facts, I would like to know what and the basis for such an assertion. You argue against capital punishment, which is irrelevant here as it is the law of the state involved. Only the guilt or innocence of the accused mattered. (Continued)
@huytran Even Justice Brennan, the late flaming liberal Supreme Court jurist, was most skeptical of post-trial recantations as such were often indicative of pressure from defense attorneys. One of the recanting witnesses in this case had been only a few feet from the murder but now, after many years, “isn’t certain” if he identified the right man.
@litwriter100 Though I am opposed to the death penalty, my focus is on the fact that the evidence the prosecution relied on fell through their bottom and left nothing reliable left to convict Davis with beyond a reasonable doubt. And though Justice Brennan may have been skeptical of post-trial recantations, he was also strongly in favor of ensuring the due process rights of criminal defendants, making many arguments in favor of excluding evidence that was secured in violation of their rights.
@781Cesare Davis was granted an unusual order by the US Supreme court for a lower court to review the facts. The judge issued an extensive report which anyone who is really interested in the facts of this tragic case can read if interested. I suspect you’re not.
@781Cesare I don't think so. In some cases you kill a cop and you may not make it to any police station thats why he turned himself in white has nothing to do with cop killing. the cops don't tolerate it.Thats just the way it is.He apparently signed a confession saying he killed the cop according to the detailed winopekia. Chek Troy Davis in Winopekia for the details.
America's a third world country that make most radical Taliban look like saints. All USA judges, attorneys, "justice" system workers, and greasy fat headed "correction officers" should be the ones sentenced to death row. America has the biggest prison system in the world entirely designed to MANUFACTURE career criminals for billions in profit from innocents, indigents and kids. 10 year olds are thrown in juvy hellholes and forced on brain drugs, for walking on the sidewalk wrong. USA is evil.
@70scarrestoguy so how exactly did he get out? exactly my point in the US the state loves the hard core criminals and lets them out but punishes the innocent, it's a con game called creating crime for billions in profits
I BET THE OFFICERS MOTHER STILL HASNT BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE THAT IMAGINARY BOOK THE DA TEAM HAS PAINTED IN HER HEAD AND BRAINWASHED HER INTO THINKING JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED...NO IT HASNT HER SONS KILLER IS STILL ALIVE AND A INNOCENT ONE IS DEAD...I SURE HOPE SHE FINDS JESUS BEFORE SHE PASSES ON MEET OUR MAKER..SHE HAS ALONG WAY TO GO STARTIING YESTERDAY.

@realitystrucku I doubt you've read the "real facts" either. I'll take the verdict of 12 jurors who sat and listened to every piece of evidence and decided an unanimous guilty verdict. I couldn't care less with what the rabid street mob of anti-death loonies managed to do after the fact by misconstruing "evidence", threatening and pressuring jurors and eye witnesses, etc.

@SexJunkle I'm not saying he was innocent nor guilty....I wasn't there what I'm saying is that if there is doubt then how and why did he get the death penalty. There was serious doubt...to me it doesn't make sense...this case can easily be any of us that's all...it's not about race or anything it's about what's ethical...but the law isn't always ethical, that's all I'm saying

@realitystrucku I don't think anybody denies the fact he committed similar shootings in the weeks or days before. Bullets were matched from both crime scenes to his gun, so it wasn't based solely on "eye witness" testimony but actual forensic evidence. Yeah, he shot the first time when nobody was hit and was seen doing it, but this SECOND time in which he hit his mark and killed someone and was again seen doing it, nah, THAT time someone else did it!!! Bullshit with a capital B.

@realitystrucku Maybe Aliens did it? I deal in reality. 22 years was more than ample time for evidence to be brought forward. 5 years would be enough. These 1990 and earlier death convictions are all drawing to an end. Nobody gets convicted these days and put on death row based solely on eye witness testimony anymore. Now it's all about forensics, DNA, and actual video. You wouldn't know that by the anti-death penalty crowd that have watched To Kill a Mockingbird one too many times.

@valenciay22 Since capital punishment is so seldom actually used, it’s not much of a deterrent. Why do you think the average murderer kills and takes the risk of at least a very long prison sentence when in most cases the “rewards” are minuscule, a relatively small amount of money or a few minutes sexual gratification? If capital punishment is immoral, it pales in terms of numbers compared to murder. How would you address the larger problem in that case?

If in the future they find that he really didn't do it, Georgia, the entire country, and quite possibly the rest of the world will have a huge problem on their hands.

@ZekeZeke80 "No evidence" was a figure of speech. What I meant was that there was WAY more evidence to convict Casey than there was to convict Troy, yet she was found innocent. It was reported that Troy did not own a .38 caliber gun. Also, one of the two jurors did not want to comment anymore on the case. Why? Because he/she didn't want to face any wrath when Davis was killed. The other juror that maintained his statement actually OWNS a .38 caliber gun.

Oh yea, and some jurors allegedly "recanted". Was that before or after they were singled out and pressured & harassed by the lunatic street mob?

Did some random stranger "steal" his gun, who just happened to look identical to him as well? And then of course witnesses mistook innocent Davis for his identical evil twin.

“The court specifically warned Davis that his refusal to call his only two genuinely recanting witnesses would make their affidavits worthless. But Davis still refused to call them -- suggesting, as the court said, that their lawyer-drafted affidavits would not have held up under cross-examination.”

“Only two of the seven alleged "recantations" (out of 34 witnesses) actually recanted anything of value -- and those two affidavits were discounted by the court because Davis refused to allow the affiants to testify at the post-trial evidentiary hearing, even though one was seated right outside the courtroom, waiting to appear.

@marvenp It was actually 34. Mea Culpa. YouTube won't allow links. Search for "Troy Davis" + "Ann Coulter" and read her article: ”Cop-Killer is Media’s Latest Baby Seal.” Also, there *was* physical evidence. The shell casings matched both shootings that night and Davis was convicted of the other shooting as well. Therefore, you’d have to claim that Davis was falsely convicted in both shootings. No gun recovered? Now what murderer would get rid of the murder weapon if possible?

@litwriter100 No gun with bullet casings means that the only thing they could prove is how many bullets were fired at the victims. Davis's conviction in the other shooting was also based on "witness testimony." Davis was falsely convicted in the other shooting because he was tried for all of those crimes at once. Prosecution theory was that he was on a crazy gun toting binge that night.

@litwriter100 and while there were 34 total witnesses, only 9 of those witnesses were the ones who IDed Davis as the murderer. The rest of the witnesses were you standard foundation witnesses, like the officers who investigated the crime, the coroner who testified as to cause of death, etc. 7 of those 9 witnesses eventually recanted, some of whom even saying that it was one of the two remaining witnesses who shot MacPhail, not Davis. All of them said the police pressured them into testifying.

@huytran According to the Coulter article, only two of the eyewitnesses recanted anything of significance. In regard to the two, why did Davis refuse to call them at a post-trial evidentiary hearing? One of them was right outside ready to testify. The implication seems to have been that Davis knew they wouldn’t hold up to cross-examination.

@litwriter100 Are you referring to the Ann Coulter article? I generally don't credit anything that comes from that vile woman's mouth, but to address your point (and I only speculate here since I would have to read through the case transcripts to get a much better idea of what Davis's counsel's considerations were) - Witness testimony without physical evidence is still circumstantial, so the credibility of those two witnesses may have been such that calling them back during the post-trial

@litwriter100 hearing would have been more damaging to Davis than helpful. Also, these witnesses recanted after the trial ended, so the time between their testimony at court, their affidavit, and the post-trial evidentiary hearing could have been such that defense counsel believed that the affidavit was more reliable than the witness's recantation. Finally, ineffective assistance of counsel was one of the grounds for appeal. It is quite possible that defense counsel simply made a mistake.

@litwriter100 Again though, these reasons are purely speculative.
The crux of the argument against Davis's execution is this: His execution was based only on 9 witness IDs. When 7 of those witnesses then change their mind, his guilt is no longer beyond a reasonable doubt. The death penalty is final. There is no way to make amends if our justice system was wrong in concluding that Davis was in fact the murderer.

@huytran Thank you. I am only interested in Coulter’s article as a conduit of factual information. Her political views, like those of Amnesty International, don’t otherwise concern me. If either misstates facts, I would like to know what and the basis for such an assertion. You argue against capital punishment, which is irrelevant here as it is the law of the state involved. Only the guilt or innocence of the accused mattered. (Continued)

@huytran Even Justice Brennan, the late flaming liberal Supreme Court jurist, was most skeptical of post-trial recantations as such were often indicative of pressure from defense attorneys. One of the recanting witnesses in this case had been only a few feet from the murder but now, after many years, “isn’t certain” if he identified the right man.
litwriter100 5 months ago
@litwriter100 Though I am opposed to the death penalty, my focus is on the fact that the evidence the prosecution relied on fell through their bottom and left nothing reliable left to convict Davis with beyond a reasonable doubt. And though Justice Brennan may have been skeptical of post-trial recantations, he was also strongly in favor of ensuring the due process rights of criminal defendants, making many arguments in favor of excluding evidence that was secured in violation of their rights.

@781Cesare Davis was granted an unusual order by the US Supreme court for a lower court to review the facts. The judge issued an extensive report which anyone who is really interested in the facts of this tragic case can read if interested. I suspect you’re not.

@781Cesare I don't think so. In some cases you kill a cop and you may not make it to any police station thats why he turned himself in white has nothing to do with cop killing. the cops don't tolerate it.Thats just the way it is.He apparently signed a confession saying he killed the cop according to the detailed winopekia. Chek Troy Davis in Winopekia for the details.

America's a third world country that make most radical Taliban look like saints. All USA judges, attorneys, "justice" system workers, and greasy fat headed "correction officers" should be the ones sentenced to death row. America has the biggest prison system in the world entirely designed to MANUFACTURE career criminals for billions in profit from innocents, indigents and kids. 10 year olds are thrown in juvy hellholes and forced on brain drugs, for walking on the sidewalk wrong. USA is evil.
