Troy Davis To Die Tomorrow by scopusng(m): 5:32pm On Sep 20, 2011 |
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's pardons board rejected clemency for Troy Davis on Tuesday, one day before his scheduled execution, despite high-profile support from figures including an ex-president and a former FBI director for the claim that he was wrongly convicted of killing a police officer in 1989. Davis is scheduled to die Wednesday by injection for killing off-duty Savannah officer Mark MacPhail, who was shot dead while rushing to help a homeless man being attacked. It is the fourth time in four years that Davis' execution has been scheduled by Georgia officials. http://news.yahoo.com/ga-board-no-last-ditch-clemency-troy-davis-142847836.html If na Naija e 4 don waka free.

Why do they wait till the last minute to plead for clemency? I have seen this happen so many times and invariably the prisoner will be executed. |

The requirement for a conviction of guilt in this country is that it is proven "beyond a reasonable doubt". Plenty of doubt has been brought up since the conviction , doubt that should have been grounds for a new trial. The new trial would have been the place to present the evidence-- the true evidence, not what now appears to be lies that were presented during the initial trial. |

So sad to hear this, in spite of all the petitions and plea for clemency from individuals and organizations including a former US President and even the Pope (I campaigned with Amnesty International) R.I.P Troy Davies
