Troy Davis is at risk of execution as early as this September, even though grave doubts about his guilt remain. In March of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court, despite having ordered a special hearing, flat-out refused to hear Davis’ appeal!
The case of Troy Davis is a painfully clear example of the many flaws of the death penalty. Serious doubts about guilt have persisted, yet many people have still not heard about this incredible case more fit for a legal thriller than reality:
A flawed investigation, alleged witness coercion, police “tunnel vision”, flimsy evidence, and a clumsy legal system that cannot seem to do the right thing.
Amnesty International USA has released a four-part video series, “A Life in the Balance: Examining the Troy Davis Case” to educate the public about the case. Check it out and spread the word.
