Seven out of nine witnesses have recanted or contradicted their previous testimony, no murder weapon was ever found, and there is no physical evidence linking Davis to the crime scene.

I guess you realize by now, that I will not cut this injustice loose from my vigilant mind, until I can look myself in the mirror and say:

I HAVE DONE ALL I CAN DO!!!

But I am 'not' quite there yet and I hope you will continue to follow this to its conclusion.

Thank You for your diligence in this most extreme ethical and human rights matter!

It is a travesty that this man is facing execution, when he most likely is innocent. It is better to let a guilty man go free than to execute an innocent man. It is not necessary to execute this man. They can wait for proof they will accept to prove his innocence, instead of rushing him to execution when proof of innocence is there. What a dark day it will be when they execute innocent people. Makes them no better than murderers themselves.

Signed and noted. Thanks for this. This is so wrong and so are many other situations hidden behind the walls and bars of prisons everywhere. There are many more, I suspect, where he is coming from.

Barbara K.; The U.S. statistics clearly show a higher rate of probable innocent men and women in prison and/or waiting on death row right now --- let alone those who have already been denied due process under the law to be cleared of any previous charges and have been extinguished through an execution order.

This is the criminal shame that haunts our justice system, and it always has!!!

This is so wrong! Because of the incompetence of this department, they are pinning this on an innocent man. This is a tragic situation which has happened before and still does and I stand against this execution and for the release of this man. He is innocent until proven guilty.

Noted. I am vehemently opposed to the death penalty and this sentencing is particularly odious and suspect and should not be carried out. "Thank you for demanding justice for Troy Davis
Thank you for signing the petition urging Governor Perdue to commute Troy Davis's death sentence. By speaking out, you help defend justice, and may even save an innocent life.

Thank you, Robert. This is a fight that needs to be waged. You are acting out of your conviction and I admire and support that.






Customize your message Dear friend,

I just got an email from Ben Jealous and the NAACP telling me about Troy Davis, an African-American man from Georgia who faces execution for murder, despite a strong claim of innocence.

Noted and signed. I am in agreement with everyone else who has posted here as well. I am personally opposed to the death penalty in any case, and this case is particularly upsetting.

you don't have to know anything about this case to know that eye witness testimony is often inaccurate and we have executed many innocent people. the only thing worse than the death of that innocent officer is the death of an innocent suspect and the freedom of the guilty.

It is 'OUR' Constitutional Right to demand a complete review, known as an Evidentiary Hearing, that reviews all evidence in a case against the accused, to be conducted by an Independent State Council ('NOT' Georgia!), and publicly judged by the United States Supreme Court in this particular case.

I make this statement based upon 18+ years of total legal mismanagement of the Troy Anthony Davis case!!!

THIS CASE HAS BECOME A COMPLETE MOCKERY OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR THE UNITED STATES!
