troy davis' powerful claims of innocence may never be heard by the courts...

troy davis is scheduled to be executed by the state of georgia on september 23, even though his serious claims of innocence have never been heard in court...

the case has been tainted from the start, with a questionable police investigation, a lack of funding to ensure adequate defense, and an increasingly restrictive appeals process, which has thwarted attempts to present new evidence in the case...

check it -- no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence linked davis to the crime...

troy davis was convicted of murder solely on the basis of witness testimony, and seven of the nine non-police witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony, several citing police coercion...others have signed affidavits implicating one of the remaining two witnesses as the actual killer...

six months ago the georgia supreme court refused a request for a new trial...

tell the georgia board of pardon and paroles to commute the death sentence for davi
