many of us who know this case and know this man are crushed...in the face of an overwhelming public outcry the georgia board of pardons and paroles shockingly refused to grant clemency to troy davis on friday...
mr. davis' serious claims of innocence, which include the recantation of 7 out of 9 witnesses, have never been heard in court...further, no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence linked davis to the crime...
amnesty international and the naacp held a rally on thursday night calling for clemency...hundreds (nearly 1000!) of supporters attended many wearing t- shirts that proclaimed "I am Troy Davis,"...earlier in the day, amnesty international and others delivered over 20,000 petitions, just a small fraction of the over 200,000 collected from all over the world...
troy davis is scheduled to be executed by the state of georgia on september 23 at 7pm...
peace out <3
