Troy Davis Case: Part One

http://www.amnestyusa.org/troy
Troy Davis is at risk of execution as early as September 2011, even though grave doubts about his guilt remain. Part One "The Investigation" gives a thorough explanation of the case as well as the many problems with how the crime was investigated.

With all legal appeals exhausted, Davis' fate will be in the hands of Georgia's Board of Pardons and Paroles. Once his execution date is scheduled, they will be presented with the option of permanently preventing his execution.

This is absolutely appalling. How the fuck does such an advanced "Super Power" country, be so naive and downright ignorant of all the "flaws" and "problems" there evidently were with this case. Has the country gone stupid!? I do love the USA, but thank fuck I live in a country where one does receive a fare trial, and whilst sometimes we have got it wrong, WE HAVE DUE-PROCESS that does not involve the death penalty. I hope DNA will finally exonerate the man you murdered, and the family send the

SHAME ON INHUMAN FLUNKING US LAW SYSTEM. IF JUSTICE IS NOT SERVED IN THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, THAN THERE IS NO JUSTICE, OUT OF ALL THE DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE HAD SINCE THE ANCIENT SOCIETIES THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FLAWS IN HUMAN SOCIETIES, AND IT IS THERE TO REMAIN AS LONG AS WE LET IT. THIS MAKES PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE AND HOPELESS!! MIGHT AS WELL TURN TO RELIGION!!

@dmdpro5 sctually it is true. this group only shows what they want you to see. why do you think all the courts, even the supreme court turnes down the appeals. i am from savannah and was there when this happened. 99% of convicted murderers say they are innocent. i bet you believe them too!

@0118bigdawg thats not true at all

According to Darrell Collins, who is now recanting everything or claiming not to remember anything, Davis admitted to Collins that Davis had shot MacPhail in the chest and then went back to shoot MacPhail in the head at close range because MacPhail had seen his face — hence MacPhail’s blood on Davis’s shorts. Oh, and at the time Collins gave his statement way back in 1989 it was not public knowledge that Officer MacPhail had been shot in the chest and then at close range in the face.

if we really want to get into the weeds and talk about facts, consider this fact. Troy Davis immediately became the suspect and fled. Police roped off his house, obtained entry, and searched the home. In the laundry they found Troy Davis’s shorts from that night with evidence on the clothing directly tying him to Officer MacPhail’s murder — Officer MacPhail’s blood.

@XxPinksStarBoXx fuck you you piece of shit. I have a degree in economics and I'm educated. And I'll tell you how many black people were in my classes. Let's say about 10% or less. So proof. Facts don't lie. Percent of prison population who are black in the united states. 40% and they make up less than 40% of our population. So get the fuck out of here. I know my nigger facts. And facts about lots of other things. Like god isn't real either dumb fuck. Show some proof. Something you learn in col
