Troy Davis is on death row for the 1989 murder of a
police officer in Savannah, GA. He has always maintained
his innocence, and there was never any physical evidence
linking him to the crime.
Seven out of the nine non-police witnesses have since
recanted or changed their testimony, some citing police
intimidation. A judge labeled his own ruling as "not
ironclad" and the original prosecutor has voiced
reservations about Davis's guilt. New witnesses have
come forth identifying another suspect.
Despite this, the state of Georgia has signed his 4th
death warrant.

Troy Davis is scheduled to be
executed on September 21st
|
|
The day is now here - the state of
Georgia has set
Troy Davis' execution date
for September 21st,
just two weeks from today.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to
hear his final appeal earlier this
year. But the story remains the same
-
Troy Davis could very well be
innocent.
However, in the state of Georgia,
the Board of Pardons & Paroles holds
the keys to Troy's fate. In the days
before Davis' execution, this Board
will hold a final clemency hearing -
a final chance to prevent Troy Davis
from being executed.
Davis was convicted on the basis of
witness testimony -
seven of the nine original witnesses
have since recanted
or changed their testimony.
One witness said in a CNN news
interview
"If I knew then, what I know now,
Troy Davis would not be on death
row."
I know it's difficult to believe
that a system of justice could be so
terribly flawed, but
keep in mind that Troy has survived
three previous execution dates,
because people like you kept the
justice system in check!
We've been bracing for this moment
and the time for action is now!
Here's what you can do to join the
fight:
-
Sign our petition to the Board
of Pardons & Paroles urging them
to grant clemency!
We'll deliver your signatures
next week.
-
Organize locally for Troy:
Take to the streets with us.
Soon we'll be announcing the
date for the official Troy Davis
Day of Action. Sign up now to
rally in the coming days to stop
the execution of Troy Davis.

Tell everyone you know!

injustice on

Stop
the execution
An execution date for Troy Davis has
been set, but an execution is NOT
inevitable.
