This is a sad situation. 7 of the 9 witnesses have recanted their statements....and a possible innocent man could be executed.


On Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET, Georgia inmate Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed for the 1989 murder of Mark MacPhail, an off-duty Savannah police officer. Supporters have sought to prevent the execution, saying seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted or contradicted their testimony.

WOW, just WOW. With all this doubt, they are gonna go through with the execution of this man. :shame:
 
Didn't Goodie Mob tell yall about the dirty south years ago......... Welcome to Gawga my friends.
 
Although I am pissed at the state of Ga officials, this man death really falls back on those seven jurors who now want to change their story. If they had been honest men and women up front, none of this would be happening. They have to live with this on their conscience and souls for life.

I remember listening to T.Davis' sister on the Tom Joyner Morning Show last week talking about this. She did say how 7 out of 9 witnesses recanted their testimonies and how the actual killer admitted to the murder of that cop.

I don't know what's going to happen; it sounds like the State of Georgia is hard-pressed to execute this man. And then that press secretary Carney said that President Obama was not appropriate in weighing in on specific cases like that one, since it is a state prosecution! Folks don't want the President to implement healthcare to everyone, present a Job's Proposal to help the unemployed, and apparently don't want him to try make sure all the facts are presented before a possibly innocent man is put to death!

Kendrick, this is ANOTHER sad day for our country. Our legal system is so jacked up; I have no faith in it at all.

I don't know what's going to happen to T.Davis, but if he is executed, I pray God will be with him.....and may God have mercy on the jacked up U.S. legal system.

THANK YOU!!! Don't blame the Criminal Justice System, Blame those witnesses who got up there and basically lied while taking an oath on the Bible. The Criminal Justice System went off of the evidence that was presented to them. You Know Something or You Don't Know. If You Don't Know, SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH! Sadly, this man is about to pay the ultimate price for "Heresay".

I suppose you're right. The mouth shouldn't speak on what the eyes didn't see and/or ears didn't hear!
If we all did this, this world would definitely be a much better place.

It wasn't the jurors. It was the so called witnesses, but I feel what you are saying. All of them bastards need to be prosecuted for perjury. May Troy Davis rest in peace.
 
Justice is not blind.....Justice sees what she wants to see.....things like this really bothers me.... I am really bothered right now. The Supreme Court did nothing. Just uphold a clear wrong. At least they should have given him more time to investigate if these 7 people were truly pressured.....
 



Bad day for me. My aunt died this morning. Then I find out my neighbor and childhood friend also died this morning. Now, we've executed a potentially innocent man.

:smh:

I'm out. Time for reflection ....
 
This reminds me of a murder case I covered a couple of years ago in Illinois that surrounded a Hispanic man allegedly raping and killing a tween white girl while she was babysitting.

The defense and the family of this guy, whose case has been tried twice over a couple of decades in an attempt to prove his innocence, has maintained, like Troy Davis, that he was not guilty of the crime due to insufficient evidence and conflicting witness accounts and even shoddy police work.

And the details of that case was horrific. I mean, upon viewing autopsy photos of the dead girl, there were jurors in the courtroom who could be seen weeping. And I thought there was no way this cat was going to get off no matter what because those jurors want vengeance for the death of that girl. Damn anything else.

And I think when you have these cases were a person, especially a minority, is accused of killing a white individual or a law enforcement official, that it is not out of the question for jurors to side with the prosecution and the victim's family out of sheer empathy and wanting whoever is in the defendant's chair, especially if that person is a minority, to be prosecuted as quickly as possible because in their eyes the perp doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. All they see is cop killer or kid killer.

This, for some reason, is getting to me too.

I'm very sorry to hear of your losses SUJagFan. I am about to call it a night and will definitely include you in my prayers. Tap into the Holy Spirit; Jesus said He would not leave us alone or comfortless.

After doing time where I broke the law I get so angry when there are potentially innocent people who are not provided a fair shake when it comes to justice. This is not a white issue, black issue, or hispanic issue....this is a legal/policy issue that is consistently ignored to preserve a system that has failed us all.
 
If I was a betting man right now, I'll say that the "Stop Snitchin'" Shit that came out is about to resurface and just explode....:smh::smh::smh::smh:.

BUT, what if Troy Davis didn't actually kill the Police Officer but he actually knew who did? That "Stop Snitchin'" Shit would Die right then and there.
 
The inmate "could have long ago ended his anxieties and uncertainties by submitting to what the people have deemed him to deserve: execution." --Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (in response to the argument that being on death row for decades is cruel & unusual punishment)
 
I now understand why those cats in the middle east are not scared of death. When life becomes hell and you don't think you are getting a fair shake, what is death?
