Atlanta. Sat oct 4 from 2-4pm.
Troy Davis was sent to death row in 1991 for the shooting of a white police officer in Savannah, Georgia, but serious questions about his guilt have surfaced. He came within 23 hours of execution in July, 2007, and a new date is likely to be set soon.
- 7 of 9 Eyewitnesses Recanted (Say their testimony was coerced by Police)
- No Physical Evidence/ No Weapon
- Evidence Never Heard By Jury (Anti-terrorism & Effective Death Penalty Act 1996)
- New Witnesses have Implicated other Suspect
- Ga. Supreme Court Ruled 4 to 3 that Recanted Testimony is not as strong as Original Trial Testimony.
Please join Amnesty International along with various celebrities, musicians, civil and political leaders, and other concerned citizens to support Troy and demand that the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles prevent the execution of a man with a strong innocence case!
