Will an Innocent Man be Executed ?

I cannot believe that the, hang on actually I CAN believe that the US State of Georgia is going ahead with the Execution of an probable innocent man. I guess that's just how they "roll" in the USA.

The Death Penalty is Evil.

The decades-long, law-and-order-fueled trend toward restricting appellate avenues in criminal cases may be reaching its gruesome but inevitable conclusion in the case of Troy Davis, a death row inmate who apparently will be executed soon despite a series of post-trial revelations about his lack of culpability that ought to shock the conscience of even the most ardent supports of capital punishment.

Troy Davis, who is black, was charged, tried and convicted in Georgia for murdering a white police officer.

He was sentenced to death in 1991.

• There was no physical evidence linking him to the crime.
• There was no DNA.
  
• There was no murder weapon found on him.
  
• Since his trial, seven of the nine main prosecution eyewitnesses against him have recanted their trial testimony.
  
• Some of these witnesses claim police coercion or harsh interrogation tactics caused them to be untruthful at trial.

The Death Penalty is Evil.
A letter from Troy Davis to you.

"If you save a life, you save the world entire"

in this case, I think the opposite of the Death Penalty.

"if you end one innocent life then you end the world entire"
