Not In Our Name: Georgia Must Not Execute Troy Davis

Troy Davis too much doubtOutrageous.  Simply outrageous.

Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles has rejected Troy Davis’ clemency petition.  He faces execution on Wed., Sept. 21 at 7 pm EDT.  We do not accept this decision and we will not quietly sit by.  Join us by taking more action:  demand that the Board reconsider its decision and demand that Chatham County (Savannah) District Attorney Larry Chisolm seek a withdrawal of the death warrant and support clemency himself.

This appalling decision renders meaningless the Board’s 2007 vow to not permit an execution unless there is “no doubt” about guilt.  The Troy Davis case is riddled with doubt. Most of the witnesses who testified against him have recanted, while others have pointed to an alternate suspect as the real killer.

Nearly a million supporters of human rights and justice have called for clemency in this case, so far.  They believed in the common-sense notion that you should not execute someone when you can’t be sure they are guilty.

Death penalty supporters like Bob Barr, former Texas Governor Mark White,  and former FBI Director William Sessions also support clemency in this case, for the same reason.  And at least three jurors from Davis’ trial have asked for his execution to be called off. Putting Troy Davis to death would be a grave injustice to those jurors who believe they sentenced Davis to death based on questionable information.

The Board chose to ignore this huge number and wide range of voices, so we must raise our voices even more.  Demand that Georgia authorities Stop This Execution.

  1. Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt. I don't want innocent blood on anybody's hands, including those of Georgia's authorities.

  2. I am pleading that Troy Davis not be executed on Wednesday, September 21st. His conviction is riddled by doubt and his execution will fall heavily on our conscience and tarnish our credibility and our striving for justice as a people and as a nation. Clemency for Troy Davis!

  3. Clemency, the time for clemency for Troy Davis is past due! Stand up for human rights, and do what is right. Troy Davis deserves justice, which has not been served in his case.

  4. I ask that you please reexamine the evidence. It is clear that there is plenty of reasonable doubt that Troy Davis did not commit this crime. Clemency is the only just decision that can be rendered at this point. Please prove to the world that the United States is still a leader in the world in ensuring human rights and justice to everyone. The execution of Troy Davis would be a terrible injustice.

  5. Do not execute Troy Davis; it's just wrong. How can one man's life be in the hands of so few?

  6. please stop the execution! This man has sat on death row for 20yrs and no one can prove he is guilty. Please let him go

  7. "Judicial punishment can never be used merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society, but instead it must in all cases be imposed on him only on the ground that he has committed a crime." Never would this make more sense than in a case of an execution based upon faulty, false, or no evidence.

  8. There is not only too much doubt, it will not bring closure to the family of the slain officer as they claim. It will be a second murder.

  9. Stop the murder of Troy Davis.What kind of law system do you have in the states. You dont even know if he is guilty or innocent at this point. Come on do the right thing and give this man a chance. Too many people know to sweep this under the carpet.

  10. Please stop the Execution of Troy Davis because there's a lot of doubt in the evidence in this case. No gun, His DNA didn't match and 7-9 witnesses recanted their stories. He's a Innocent Man. Stop The Execution Now!!!!!!!!

  11. Killing this man that America has gone above and beyond to show it's humanness and commitment towards changing and making right, shows me a tremendous loss in trust and respect in the utmost way for Georgia's criminal justice system. This shows me the level of integrity and character this board of decision makers is made of. It seems fair to me that if this board makes this decision to take a life that is not without a doubt proven guilty, that Karma will make it's way back to them. Murdering a human being in the name of justice does not fix the problem or contribute to positive changes in our society. We need higher level thinking people in positions like this.

  12. Blind revenge cannot be the answer; duration of the debate within the Georgia' State Board of Pardons & Paroles prooves there are many doubts indeed, please STOP the execution

  13. WHY! If there is just an ounce of doubt would you go through with killing this man? Since the DNA did not match, this is cause to review the facts. Please stop this execution!

  14. STOP THE EXECUTION NO MATTER WHAT
    NO MAN OR WOMEN MUST BE EXECUTED.

  15. I earnestly entreaty you not to kill Troy Davis tomorrow. There is no physical evidence to connect him to the crime of which he is accused, and seven of the original nine witnesses have withdrawn their testimonies. The whole world will watch tomorrow, if mercy is not granted, your actions will simply constitute rough justice, and state sanctioned murder with impunity.

    Yours faithfully,

    Thomas Stretch.

  16. Please do not allow this judgement to go through if it is not a fact that this man is guilty. Lets put on our human being hats and lets not do something we will regret later. Remember that one day we could find ourselves in the same shoes.

  17. People from all over the world have united and demanded to stop Troy Davis' execution. To the leaders of this country, please don't ignore us anymore, we are the ones who you should be representing and we don't want this murder to take place! STOP THIS INJUSTICE NOW!

  18. Il est inadmissible de nos jours, de condamner un homme sans preuve,
    je ne vois là, qu'une décision arbitraire et injuste.
    Arrêter le processus au plus vite pour ne pas mettre en oeuvre cette exécution
    pour cet homme déjà emprisonné malgré lui.

  19. Please do all to stop Troy Davies execution. If there is any doubt about his guilt,
    let justice appear. Be human and take care of human rights!

  20. I am against the death penalty all over the world.
    In the case of Troy Davies I have a strong feeling he is without guilt.
    Pls let him live.

  21. If Troy is executed and we find him innocent post mortem, he will become a martyr and a rallying point for everyone who wishes to end the death penalty. HIS NAME WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

  22. I have just called the Georgia State's Attorney's Office to register my concern about executing an innocent man. I was surprised to get through and they took my name, concerns and where I live.

    I recommend calling..

  23. Please, do not execute Troy Davis! Stop the execution. I'am against death penalty and THERE IS TOO MUCH DOUBT!! Do not take Troy 's life !!

  24. Please do not execute an innocent man. Do not go through with this his case has zero substance. This is not the correct thing to do. Clemency for Troy Davis. There is too much doubt, the law states without a reasonalbe doubt….. there is doubt so do not I repeat do not go through with this horrible execution please do not execute an innocent man.

  25. I signed the petition to stop it. This man is innocent! I refuse to just let this happen!!!!! I simply refuse! No matter race, creed, color, or nationality we must stop this !

  26. It is appalling that, in this "enlightened age" – and after they resolved in 2007 never to execute a man in any instance where doubt persisted at all, the the Georgia Board of Pardons & Clemency would permit this execution to go forward!

    'TIS BETTER 100 GUILTY MEN GO FREE, THAN JUST 1 INNOCENT BE WRONGLY PUT TO DEATH!! Never more than today do these words ring true.

  27. It is the most wrong thing possible to execute an innocent person, much less anyone. I've tried calling several times over and over 912-652-7308 but the phone system is apparently flooded or they are just not wanting to hear the opposition…

  28. Mr. Davis has suffered enough, twenty years of incarceration and three execution dates…that to me is cruel and unusual punishment…even if he was guilty…

  29. It is such a shame that it is so easy for some to take another persons life…. Guilty or not guilty. We have no right to do it. And in this case, we don't even know if he did it????!!! It is inhumane 🙁

  30. How can a man be put to death when there is no physical evidence linking him to the crime, 7 of the 9 witness recant the story–some even during the trial, one witness is the other primary suspect and there are witnesses saying the other primary suspect confessed to the crime. Let's face it, Troy Davis isn't a rich or powerful man that could get anybody to change their story. He has always claim his innocence. How is this fair when Casey Anthony, who had a lot of evidence, pointing her way is not only not in prison. But she is free. I thought if there was enough reasonable doubt that the state of Georgia didn't execute. It's overwhelming doubt that Troy Davis didn't commit murder. In God's name, don't carry through with this execution.

  31. Board has denied clemency for Troy Davis when their is such overwhelming doubt that he is even guilty!

    The evidence we do know is 7 out of 9 eye witnesses have come forward and recanted their earlier testimony.

    In the face of these facts alone, along with so many other unresolved questions as to what actually happened and the lack of evidence that still exists, the planned execution of Troy Davis to die tonight is horrifying.

    It would indeed be a travesty on the State of Georgia, as well as the United States.

  32. Please be advised the State of Georgia is in violation of Mr. Troy Davis's Constitutional Right's & Human Rights of Presumption of innocence and guilty only by reasonable doubt which according to the information does not follow these guidelines thus making this case voidable! In 24hrs this political prisoner will be wrongfully put to death!

  33. How can the state of GA kill a man when such a lack of evidence exists? Is that not murder?

  34. There is much doubt as to guilt. Execution of an innocent man is murder! Stop the execution!

  35. This is a violation of Troy's basic human rights, as well as his civil rights. The system should not be allowed to maintain a momentum towards execution in spite of the doubt and lack of hard evidence found in this case. If Troy is executed on September 21st, we will know where our government stands on civil rights issues. This will be a wake up call.

  36. Join us tonight as we rally at the Board of Pardon and Parole in Downtown Atlanta. Save Troy Davis and show equal justice! #TooMuchDoubt#

  37. Please don't execute this innocent y'all have proof he's innocent think about his family and what they are going through. So I beg you stop the execution of Troy Davis.

  38. How do you people from the Parole Board plan to sleep at night? You will become murderers – are you not familiar with the concept of 'better to set a guilty man free than incarcerate an innocent man'? And with so much doubt you still want to EXECUTE Troy Davis. May God have mercy on your souls….

  39. Please have mercy and allow Mr. Troy Davis to live. If there is no evidence to prove he is guilty, there should be a retrial. Please grant Mr. Davis clemency in God's name.

  40. Stop this execution. The justice may be taking an innocent life if this is carried through. This goes to show that our justice system is flawed and will leave me no faith in it if this execution is carried out!

  41. U need to stop this execution!!! To much doubt not only that its no mans place but GODS only to ends one life…..it's not right n feel sorry for ur souls if u go thru with such a thing!!!!

  42. Want to have Georgia rethink their cavalier attitude when there is reasonable doubt? They should at least have a retrial with the additional information. When the former FBI director says there is 'doubt' about the verdict, it's time for reasonable people to let Georgia know it is wrong.

    Sign on to my petition to boycott Georgia:

    ­www.petitiono­nline.com/­BG092011/p­etition.ht­ml

  43. Do you not !!!!!!! It does not matter if he is guilty … black or white … Nobody has the right to take another person's life …. So who gave you the right ????????

  44. IMMEDIATELY STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!
    According to the rule, if there is no evidence, then how in the hell is there a case against a human being. This case has been BS from the beginning, many of the eye-witness testimonies have be recanted and as well as unethical from the beginning. If you have 7 out of 10 of the witnesses wanting to withdraw their testimony then that alone is a RED FLAG GEORGIA!!
    However, if this execution is executed then I FEEL SORRY FOR the JUDGE, Jury and whomever else who was involved with the decision making process.. jUST know that although, you might have senteced Troy to death… Know that the final answer rests in the hands of the lord! So, while you are pulling the plug on this "INNOCENT MAN" just know that GOD one day will pull the plug on you and you will forever rest in "ETERNAL" …….!!!!

  45. Please also bombard the white house comment line with calls! Obama could also pardon him! I don't think he will, but it can't hurt to try.

  46. What happen to pure evidence? It is 2011 the age of information technology we Need DNA proof stop the execution of Troy Davis today!

  47. Stop this execution. With so much of the original evidence no longer reliable, his conviction is tainted and must be thrown out. In the face of so much doubt, going forward is wrong.

  48. What's the evidence. We can't just go round killing people in the name of justice. Where's the justice in that?

  49. STOP THE EXECUTION!! With so much doubt in this case YOU will be killing an innocent man. STOP THE EXECUTION! what happened to innocent until proven guilty???

  50. Stop the execution of Troy Davis. There is insufficient evidence of guilt and sufficient evidence of Reasonable Doubt.

  51. I am completely against the execution of someone when there is evidence to suggest they are not guilty of a crime. We cannot use injustice as means of righting wrongs. It is a tragedy for both of these families. My condolences to the children who lost their father and to his wife. Killing Troy Davis will not bring this man back from the dead.

  52. Stop this murder. Stop all "death penalties". The year is 2011, it is not the middle ages. When will you grow up, America? And Obama; is this something you are supporting? What about some real changes? This killing of poor criminals is a shame, not only on America, but on humanity.

  53. Executing this man is absurd and a crime in itself. There is at least a shadow of a doubt therefore killing this man is murder!

  54. Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt. I don’t want innocent blood on anybody’s hands, including those of Georgia’s authorities.

  55. Do not execute him. Too much doubt. Look at the case again. Go over the facts. There is reasonable doubt.

  56. It never fails to amaze me how people can choose to take another human being's life rather than admit that there's a chance that they're wrong.

  57. Non à l'exécution de Troy Davis ! Comment peut on exécuter un homme quand il y a un doute sur sa culpabilité ? Ne commettez pas l'irréparable…

  58. I am pleading that Troy Davis not be executed on Wednesday, September 21st. His conviction is riddled by doubt and his execution will fall heavily on our conscience and tarnish our credibility and our striving for justice as a people and as a nation. Clemency for Troy Davis!

  59. DETROIT, MICHIGAN SUPPORT TROY DAVIS!!! THERE IS #TOOMUCHDOUBT PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION…THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF INJUSTICE!!!

  60. TROY DAVIS MUST BE GRANTED CLEMENCY IF JUSTICE IS TO BE DONE. THERE IS CLEARLY TOO MUCH DOUBT. EXECUTING HIM WOULD BE A CRIME IN ITSELF.

  61. BAD NEWS: The Georgia board of Pardons & Paroles voted yesterday to allow the execution of Troy Davis to proceed. I've emailed an "I am shocked that …" letter to the editor of the Augusta, GA, Chronicle newspaper. Poops.

  62. Way 2 much doubt!! I knw the family wants to see justice,but with that much doubt how can u kill a human.

  63. There is no DNA evidence and no weapon in this case. Do not execute this man, He will die and you will have blood on your hands. This is so wrong, putting an innocent man to death. There isn't much time. Clemency must prevail for this gentleman.

  64. Clemency, the time for clemency for Troy Davis is past due! Stand up for human rights, and do what is right. Troy Davis deserves justice, which has not been served in his case.

  65. under the upperhand xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx martin luther would never of allowed it its disgusting xxxx karma x

  66. This is a travesty of justice. If Troy is executed, justice dies too. In my opinion, members of the Parole Board have just consented to commit cold blooded murder with this decision, because of the mountain of evidence which supports Troy's innocence.

    Do these people have a conscience? If the execution goes ahead they will have blood on their hands for sure.

  67. Stop this execution. The justice may be taking an innocent life if this is carried through. This goes to show that our justice system is flawed and will leave me no faith in it if this execution is carried out!

  68. As long as there is a shred of doubt, a person should NOT be executed. How could you possibly deny that there are unclear and contradicting elements about this case? What kind of justice are you promoting here? And how can you sleep well at night, EVER again, knowing that you killed a man who quite possibly was innocent? Who will judge YOU?

  69. I ask that you please reexamine the evidence. It is clear that there is plenty of reasonable doubt that Troy Davis did not commit this crime. Clemency is the only just decision that can be rendered at this point. Please prove to the world that the United States is still a leader in the world in ensuring human rights and justice to everyone. The execution of Troy Davis would be a terrible injustice.

  70. Algún día los Estados Unidos mirará la pena de muerte con la misma vergüenza con la que hoy mira la esclavitud. La pena de muerte no es más que un asesinato, frio y premeditado. No ejecuten a Troy Davis!

  71. Just discovered on French newspaper the Troy Davis case. It rings exactly like the John Grisham novel "The confession" where Donté Drumm was executed despite serious doubt, & named cleared 24 hrs after execution. Man has no right to take the life of someone, & especially when there is the slightest doubt. Let the white light surround you Troy.

  72. To all supporters of Troy Davis and of justice….

    The Board of Pardons could not grant clemency since to do so would equal an admission that the justice system is full of defects and not fit for purpose.

    It is essential now that a higher authority intervenes on this matter.

    Go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/ and click 'Contact us' and send President Obama an email asking him to do whatever is necessary to prevent the execution of an innocent Black American, Troy Anthony Davis.

    Thank you so much.

  73. S'il vous plait, il est temps pour l'humanité d'abandonner cette barbarie qu'est la peine de mort. N'exécutez pas Troy Davis. N'exécutez plus aucun être humain, par pitié et pour l'amour de Dieu !

    Please, it's time for humanity : sentence of death is a barbarian. Don't kill Troy Davis. Don't kill nomore humans, for the love of god.
    (and excuse my english langage)

  74. Do not execute Troy Davis; it’s just wrong. How can one man’s life be in the hands of so few?

  75. Do not execute Troy Davis; it’s just wrong. How can one man’s life be in the hands of so few?

  76. There is planning a murder on an innocent man, same time as the world cry out that this is not justice. The criminals in this case is the people that plan to murder this innocent man. Don´t let criminals go free when they prefer to kill the innocent and lie about that it´s justice. There is to much doubt about Troy Davis. People that believe in TRUE justice want Troy Davis to live and be free and get compensation for all years he have been in jail. That would be justice.

  77. please, stop !!
    soyez humains, la vie est un bien trop précieux. et les conditions douteuses de sa condamnation ne permettent pas que cet homme soit exécuté comme une bête.
    nous ne sommes pas des animaux
    we are not animals !!

  78. Really sad story of an attempt to execute an innocent man. There should be absolutely no doubt when executing anyone and clearly there is too much doubt in this case. Will the members of Georgia's State Board of Pardons and Paroles really be able to live with themselves if this execution is carried out?!

  79. Why have the seven witnesses recanted their testimony? And what if he did do it, and the recanted testimony is due to pressure from the other suspect who knows that trying to take him to trial after 20 years will be fruitless. Of course, if he is acquited, and then confesses, he can't be retried for the crime again. Does the jury feel they made the wrong decision?

  80. please stop the execution! This man has sat on death row for 20yrs and no one can prove he is guilty. Please let him go

  81. “Judicial punishment can never be used merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society, but instead it must in all cases be imposed on him only on the ground that he has committed a crime.” Never would this make more sense than in a case of an execution based upon faulty, false, or no evidence.

  82. I just heard AI's spokesperson on the Thom Hartmann show, saying that even if we lose the fight for Troy that we need to continue mobilizing against the death penalty – YES!

    I sincerely hope that AI will partner with the ACLU campaign, "Cut This! the Death Penalty": http://www.aclunc.org/issues/criminal_justice/dea

    Also, many are calling on the medical staff which will oversee the execution to STAY HOME tomorrow: http://www.schr.org/action/resources/georgia_sena

    Here's a sample fax you can send to the "doctor" posted on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notes/pennsylvanians-for

  83. There is not only too much doubt, it will not bring closure to the family of the slain officer as they claim. It will be a second murder.

  84. Stop the murder of Troy Davis.What kind of law system do you have in the states. You dont even know if he is guilty or innocent at this point. Come on do the right thing and give this man a chance. Too many people know to sweep this under the carpet.

  85. Yes stop the execution. Let the family of the murdered police officer go without justice for their loved one.
    Let angelic Troy move into a bleeding heart liberal's home. See how safe you feel. Let those jurors who think they voted wrong be willing to be prosecuted for their poor judgement during deliberation and lieing in court about their decision; ditto for those "witnesses" who now say they lied during their original testimony. Then we can see whether they are lieing now or just bleeding heart liberals who "changed" their minds about Troy's guilt and convicting him.
    In fact, I believe every bleeding heart liberal should have the opportunity of having the joy of a convict in their home, where their loved ones live in efar and potential danger.

  86. Please let me agree with the eloquent words of Serge, and
    express my pain that while France abolished the death
    penalty in 1981, 30 years ago, the execution of Troy Davis,
    despite serious doubts as to his guilt and the pleas of
    three of his jurors for clemency, could take place
    tomorrow. To quote the great Lafayette: "I shall ask for
    the abolition of the penalty of death until the
    infallibility of human judgment shall be proven to me."

    The killing of Troy Davis would not honor the best values of
    Officer Mark MacPhail, who was shot while trying to assist
    the victim of an assault, but would perpetuate the cycle of
    degrading and dehumanizing violence. Nor would it honor the
    values of Tom Paine, one of the founders of the U.S.A., who
    in 1793 courageously argued against the execution of Louis
    Capet (as he often called Louis XVI to show his disdain for
    monarchy) and found the death penalty unfit for a free
    republic.

    May this impending act of lethal injustice yet by averted
    by the grace of Providence and the determination of a
    global movement for abolition of this barbarity of state
    killing in the name of the law.

  87. EXECUTION IS FINAL AND IRREVERSIBLE. Going
    forward with an execution when there is so much doubt is
    too horrible to contemplate. There are no words to describe
    how awful this is.

  88. Please stop the Execution of Troy Davis because there’s a lot of doubt in the evidence in this case. No gun, His DNA didn’t match and 7-9 witnesses recanted their stories. He’s a Innocent Man. Stop The Execution Now!!!!!!!!

  89. Killing this man that America has gone above and beyond to show it’s humanness and commitment towards changing and making right, shows me a tremendous loss in trust and respect in the utmost way for Georgia’s criminal justice system. This shows me the level of integrity and character this board of decision makers is made of. It seems fair to me that if this board makes this decision to take a life that is not without a doubt proven guilty, that Karma will make it’s way back to them. Murdering a human being in the name of justice does not fix the problem or contribute to positive changes in our society. We need higher level thinking people in positions like this.

  90. Please, please, please STOP this. If Troy is executed tomorrow it will be forever etched in my heart and mind that the American Justice system is deaf, dumb, blind and immoral.

  91. Blind revenge cannot be the answer; duration of the debate within the Georgia’ State Board of Pardons & Paroles prooves there are many doubts indeed, please STOP the execution

  92. WHY! If there is just an ounce of doubt would you go through with killing this man? Since the DNA did not match, this is cause to review the facts. Please stop this execution!

  93. STOP THE EXECUTION NO MATTER WHAT
    NO MAN OR WOMEN MUST BE EXECUTED.

    Please call the Whitehouse comment line. The number is 202 456 1111 and from the UK 001 202 456 1111. When you get through to the volunteer keep it very brief such as: 'Please ask President Obama to prevent the execution tomorrow of Troy Davis in Georgia. Troy Davis may be an innocent man' etc

    Thank you.
    Greetings from Lincolnshire UK.

  104. One of the posters commented, "How can the state of GA kill a man when such a lack of evidence exists? Is that not murder?" The real question is "How can the state of GA kill a man?" Period. Is it not murder whether he is innocent or NOT??? We who oppose the death penalty do not wish to minimize the suffering of the victim's loved ones in a case such as this. However, we do not believe that the murder of another person, innocent or not, will bring peace or closure to those loved ones. This is nothing short of barbaric, and a great source of shame for our country, in my opinion.

  105. If Troy is executed and we find him innocent post mortem, he will become a martyr and a rallying point for everyone who wishes to end the death penalty. HIS NAME WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

  106. This is complete bullshit! troy davis should not be executed without the facts! people like charles manson and casey anthony werent even put to death. 100% against this!

  107. I just heard AI's spokesperson on the Thom Hartmann show, saying that even if we lose the fight for Troy that we need to continue mobilizing against the death penalty – YES!

    Here's a sample fax you can send to the "doctor" posted on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notes/pennsylvanians-for

  109. I have just called the Georgia State’s Attorney’s Office to register my concern about executing an innocent man. I was surprised to get through and they took my name, concerns and where I live.

    I recommend calling..

  110. Please, do not execute Troy Davis! Stop the execution. I’am against death penalty and THERE IS TOO MUCH DOUBT!! Do not take Troy ‘s life !!

  111. Please do not execute an innocent man. Do not go through with this his case has zero substance. This is not the correct thing to do. Clemency for Troy Davis. There is too much doubt, the law states without a reasonalbe doubt….. there is doubt so do not I repeat do not go through with this horrible execution please do not execute an innocent man.

  112. I signed the petition to stop it. This man is innocent! I refuse to just let this happen!!!!! I simply refuse! No matter race, creed, color, or nationality we must stop this !

  113. Its all have to do with race.Blacks are always at the receiving end .Also campaign to end the private prison systems,profit by getting people convicted ?What world are we living in?

  114. It's not right. Nothing about this is right. The authorities need seine to pin this on to appease the bloodlust from those around them, especially those in their own ranks. It's terrible that people were killed, yet it's an even more grievous atrocity to execute another man for a crime in which there is overehelming evidence that he did not commit. STOP THIS.

  115. It is appalling that, in this “enlightened age” – and after they resolved in 2007 never to execute a man in any instance where doubt persisted at all, the the Georgia Board of Pardons & Clemency would permit this execution to go forward!

    ‘TIS BETTER 100 GUILTY MEN GO FREE, THAN JUST 1 INNOCENT BE WRONGLY PUT TO DEATH!! Never more than today do these words ring true.

  116. Beyond a color, this is a human. It is our duty as a people to protect justice in our own country. PLEASE do not let our duties go unfulfilled. Protect justice. Stop this execution. Give fair trial.

  117. It is the most wrong thing possible to execute an innocent person, much less anyone. I’ve tried calling several times over and over 912-652-7308 but the phone system is apparently flooded or they are just not wanting to hear the opposition…

  118. Mr. Davis has suffered enough, twenty years of incarceration and three execution dates…that to me is cruel and unusual punishment…even if he was guilty…

  119. It is such a shame that it is so easy for some to take another persons life…. Guilty or not guilty. We have no right to do it. And in this case, we don’t even know if he did it????!!! It is inhumane 🙁

  120. How can a man be put to death when there is no physical evidence linking him to the crime, 7 of the 9 witness recant the story–some even during the trial, one witness is the other primary suspect and there are witnesses saying the other primary suspect confessed to the crime. Let’s face it, Troy Davis isn’t a rich or powerful man that could get anybody to change their story. He has always claim his innocence. How is this fair when Casey Anthony, who had a lot of evidence, pointing her way is not only not in prison. But she is free. I thought if there was enough reasonable doubt that the state of Georgia didn’t execute. It’s overwhelming doubt that Troy Davis didn’t commit murder. In God’s name, don’t carry through with this execution.

  121. Board has denied clemency for Troy Davis when their is such overwhelming doubt that he is even guilty!

    The evidence we do know is 7 out of 9 eye witnesses have come forward and recanted their earlier testimony.

    In the face of these facts alone, along with so many other unresolved questions as to what actually happened and the lack of evidence that still exists, the planned execution of Troy Davis to die tonight is horrifying.

    It would indeed be a travesty on the State of Georgia, as well as the United States.

  122. Please be advised the State of Georgia is in violation of Mr. Troy Davis’s Constitutional Right’s & Human Rights of Presumption of innocence and guilty only by reasonable doubt which according to the information does not follow these guidelines thus making this case voidable! In 24hrs this political prisoner will be wrongfully put to death!

  123. When there is even a shadow of a doubt, humanity, decency and justice should prevent us from doing anything that can't be reversed. This. Is. Wrong. Stop.

  124. This execution must NOT proceed. If it does the whole concept of justice is destroyed. The execution of any man where there is so much evidential doubt is an appalling abuse of human rights and should not be tolerated in any nation which regards itself as civilised. Please GEORGIA – do the right thing and commute this sentence.

  125. From Austria: This would be a barbaric, racist killing of an innocent. Shame on Georgia, shame on the United States.

    Everybody in the position to stop that should do his part!!!

  126. There is much doubt as to guilt. Execution of an innocent man is murder! Stop the execution!

  127. PLEASE DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS . You probably execute an innocent man and it will be too late when you know it. We can't believe that an American state can be so archaic to reach the point to do that murder ! Please stop this execution so that we can trust American justice.
    La peine de mort est elle aussi un crime… et un crime commis par un Etat. Au nom de quoi un Etat aurait-il le droit de tuer, alors que ses lois condamnent le crime ?

  128. too bad this is possible… death penalty should be forbidden all over the world… This should not happen…

    Hope a miracle will happen…

    RIP Troy

  129. This is a violation of Troy’s basic human rights, as well as his civil rights. The system should not be allowed to maintain a momentum towards execution in spite of the doubt and lack of hard evidence found in this case. If Troy is executed on September 21st, we will know where our government stands on civil rights issues. This will be a wake up call.

  130. Join us tonight as we rally at the Board of Pardon and Parole in Downtown Atlanta. Save Troy Davis and show equal justice! #TooMuchDoubt#

  131. Please don’t execute this innocent y’all have proof he’s innocent think about his family and what they are going through. So I beg you stop the execution of Troy Davis.

  132. How do you people from the Parole Board plan to sleep at night? You will become murderers – are you not familiar with the concept of ‘better to set a guilty man free than incarcerate an innocent man’? And with so much doubt you still want to EXECUTE Troy Davis. May God have mercy on your souls….

  133. Please have mercy and allow Mr. Troy Davis to live. If there is no evidence to prove he is guilty, there should be a retrial. Please grant Mr. Davis clemency in God’s name.

  134. Stop this execution. The justice may be taking an innocent life if this is carried through. This goes to show that our justice system is flawed and will leave me no faith in it if this execution is carried out!

  135. This situation SHOULD NOT be taken lightly. This is a person's life on the line. What has our country come to with this crooked justice system? It's time for us to stand up and fight back. We are all in this together. God, please help us.

  136. Don't execute him. Because of the evidence. Because a society is judged on the way it treats its prisoners. Because the duty of the state is to protect its citizens, and that duty does not extend to executing those who may be innocent.

  137. If there is doubt, which there clearly is in this case, then how can the execution be justified now or ever. Stop this and give the man a chance to have the doubts examined properly.

  138. U need to stop this execution!!! To much doubt not only that its no mans place but GODS only to ends one life…..it’s not right n feel sorry for ur souls if u go thru with such a thing!!!!

  139. Want to have Georgia rethink their cavalier attitude when there is reasonable doubt? They should at least have a retrial with the additional information. When the former FBI director says there is ‘doubt’ about the verdict, it’s time for reasonable people to let Georgia know it is wrong.

    Sign on to my petition to boycott Georgia:

    ­www.petitiono­nline.com/­BG092011/p­etition.ht­ml

  140. I certainly hope that the Georgia officials who have the power to make the decision to hold the death penalty because of uncertainty of this mans guilt will stop and think about how questionable this trial this trial has been all these years. The death penalty is a very serious practice and anyone, anyone who makes a final decision to have a human being put to death should be absolutely certain, without question, beyond any doubt, that the person is guilty. Please reconsider this case against Tony Davis. There is too much doubt lingering in this case and the death penalty should not be considered in this case. Tony Davis should not be put to death. Please think about how awful it would be if you continue to let this man pay by death for something that he very well may not have done. Listen to what people are saying, think about it again before you finalize this person's life. Think about what has been said. Please think and think again. Thank You for reconsidering and saving an person's life who is very possibly, not guilty.

  141. Do you not !!!!!!! It does not matter if he is guilty … black or white … Nobody has the right to take another person’s life …. So who gave you the right ????????

  142. IMMEDIATELY STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!
    According to the rule, if there is no evidence, then how in the hell is there a case against a human being. This case has been BS from the beginning, many of the eye-witness testimonies have be recanted and as well as unethical from the beginning. If you have 7 out of 10 of the witnesses wanting to withdraw their testimony then that alone is a RED FLAG GEORGIA!!
    However, if this execution is executed then I FEEL SORRY FOR the JUDGE, Jury and whomever else who was involved with the decision making process.. jUST know that although, you might have senteced Troy to death… Know that the final answer rests in the hands of the lord! So, while you are pulling the plug on this “INNOCENT MAN” just know that GOD one day will pull the plug on you and you will forever rest in “ETERNAL” …….!!!!

  143. Please also bombard the white house comment line with calls! Obama could also pardon him! I don’t think he will, but it can’t hurt to try.

  144. What happen to pure evidence? It is 2011 the age of information technology we Need DNA proof stop the execution of Troy Davis today!

  145. I personally condemn death penalty. Who is allowed to kill? No one. Death sentence as a way to establish justice is an absurdity. Free Tony Davis and find the real murder.

  146. Stop this execution. With so much of the original evidence no longer reliable, his conviction is tainted and must be thrown out. In the face of so much doubt, going forward is wrong.

  147. What’s the evidence. We can’t just go round killing people in the name of justice. Where’s the justice in that?

  148. I am appalled at the decision to deny clemency in the death sentence of Troy Davis. His case is a textbook example of what I thought is the letter of the law: beyond a shadow of doubt. There could not be more doubt in this case. Everyone involved in denying clemency will have to live with the knowledge that they are responsible for the state-sanctioned murder of a fellow human being. At seven PM tomorrow night each of them will become a murderer. And there is not a shadow of a doubt in their case.

  149. STOP THE EXECUTION!! With so much doubt in this case YOU will be killing an innocent man. STOP THE EXECUTION! what happened to innocent until proven guilty???

  150. When a few take too much power into their own hands, it is ourselves that we must look to for allowing it. We are responsible. There is no justification to kill when it is not in defense of a life. This makes Mark a killer along with his supporters. Regardless of Troy’s innocence. Like so many do, they now become the very thing they hate so much. Instead of healing this wound they allowed it to fester all these years until blind hatred is all they can feel. This out of control animal blood lust for revenge is not what we believe in and not the rule of law. It must end now.

  151. Stop the execution of Troy Davis. There is insufficient evidence of guilt and sufficient evidence of Reasonable Doubt.

  152. Is there any doubt that this man is guilty? YES. Can we therefore justify executing this man? NO. May everyone who could prevent this rot in hell if you do.

  153. Probably the only argument that might sway those who want to execute Troy Davis is the fact that his execution will advance the cause of abolition of the death penalty.

  154. I am completely against the execution of someone when there is evidence to suggest they are not guilty of a crime. We cannot use injustice as means of righting wrongs. It is a tragedy for both of these families. My condolences to the children who lost their father and to his wife. Killing Troy Davis will not bring this man back from the dead.

  155. Stop this murder. Stop all “death penalties”. The year is 2011, it is not the middle ages. When will you grow up, America? And Obama; is this something you are supporting? What about some real changes? This killing of poor criminals is a shame, not only on America, but on humanity.

  156. Guilt is not sure it seems.
    Anyway death is NOT the answer.
    Why did the witnesses retract??
    Please, stop it while there is still time for life.

  157. I do not believe in capital punishment. The fact that there is any doubt at all, and potential corruption at stake here, makes this even more of an abboration. Please, do not go ahead, and review this case as an urgent matter.

  158. Executing this man is absurd and a crime in itself. There is at least a shadow of a doubt therefore killing this man is murder!

  159. We teach our young to be be truthful, honest, compassionate, generous, and to help our fellow man. How we can so cruelly dismiss the lack of evidence and murder an innocent man. It is cause for all of us to become so disenfranchised from our sense of humanity that a belief in an an Almighty God
    is just a pretense.
    Please allow Troy to live and be given the opportunity to be found innocent.

  160. Do not execute him. Too much doubt. Look at the case again. Go over the facts. There is reasonable doubt.

  161. It never fails to amaze me how people can choose to take another human being’s life rather than admit that there’s a chance that they’re wrong.

  162. This would be a vast tragedy on the part of the justice system. If there is ANY shred of doubt, the execution should take a permanent vacation. Too many people have come forward regarding this matter, it's time to do the right thing & follow the signs. This shall remain in our thoughts & prayers.

  163. Repeating Larry's line because it's just so spot on: "Please allow Troy to live and be given the opportunity to be found innocent."
    Stop the execution.

    Where can we send our messages so that they are heard?

  164. Non à l’exécution de Troy Davis ! Comment peut on exécuter un homme quand il y a un doute sur sa culpabilité ? Ne commettez pas l’irréparable…

  165. I just happened to see something about Troy online. It is the first I have heard anything about this. I know nothing about him or his case, besides the very small amount I just read. It seems to me that if this many people can see the reasonable doubt in this case, then he should not be executed.

    However Troy, even if this doesnt work out, you will be free. No more prison, no more pain. Just free. God bless you, no matter what happens, and know that all the way over here in Texas, someone cares.

    Too bad he probably wont see any of these posts 🙁

  166. DETROIT, MICHIGAN SUPPORT TROY DAVIS!!! THERE IS #TOOMUCHDOUBT PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION…THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF INJUSTICE!!!

  167. TROY DAVIS MUST BE GRANTED CLEMENCY IF JUSTICE IS TO BE DONE. THERE IS CLEARLY TOO MUCH DOUBT. EXECUTING HIM WOULD BE A CRIME IN ITSELF.

  168. BAD NEWS: The Georgia board of Pardons & Paroles voted yesterday to allow the execution of Troy Davis to proceed. I’ve emailed an “I am shocked that …” letter to the editor of the Augusta, GA, Chronicle newspaper. Poops.

  169. My prayers go out to Troy Davis. If our justice system is to work than this man must not be executed. If the outcry of the people will not be heard than this travesty of justice will continue and who knows who else will be put to death by corruption, lying prosecutors, coerced confessions, and so much more.

  170. Way 2 much doubt!! I knw the family wants to see justice,but with that much doubt how can u kill a human.

  171. There is no DNA evidence and no weapon in this case. Do not execute this man, He will die and you will have blood on your hands. This is so wrong, putting an innocent man to death. There isn’t much time. Clemency must prevail for this gentleman.

  172. under the upperhand xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx martin luther would never of allowed it its disgusting xxxx karma x

  173. This is a travesty of justice. If Troy is executed, justice dies too. In my opinion, members of the Parole Board have just consented to commit cold blooded murder with this decision, because of the mountain of evidence which supports Troy’s innocence.

    Do these people have a conscience? If the execution goes ahead they will have blood on their hands for sure.

  174. Stop this execution. The justice may be taking an innocent life if this is carried through. This goes to show that our justice system is flawed and will leave me no faith in it if this execution is carried out!

  175. Please stop this execution of Troy Davis. I am very sorry for the victims family who lost a loved one. But executing the wrong person would be a travesty, and an indication the American Judicial System has failed. The Federal Judges should have allowed Davis a New Trial. There is too much Doubt!

  176. As long as there is a shred of doubt, a person should NOT be executed. How could you possibly deny that there are unclear and contradicting elements about this case? What kind of justice are you promoting here? And how can you sleep well at night, EVER again, knowing that you killed a man who quite possibly was innocent? Who will judge YOU?

  177. Im not saying Troy Davis is guilty or not guilty, but I am saying the evidence in this trial is not sufficient enough to sentence a man to death.

  178. I'm appalled by this case. Please see sense and call off the execution, there is so much doubt that Mr Davis committed this crime. I was shocked that the appeal for clemency was denied earlier. Rethink!

  179. Please stop murder people in the name of the state,

    and dont let the real murder go free. And kill and inocent man when u are not sure.
    The victims family must want the real murder to be in jail, or?

    Stop ! Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt.

    Show that there is some intelligent people that roule the world.

  180. Kill Troy
    Why?
    To the State of Giorgia
    This can bring no joy
    Nine of those who said
    "He did"
    Now say "he didn't!"
    No DNA was ever found
    At the crime
    No fingerprints point to killing
    An innocent man in his prime
    Kill Troy
    Why?
    To the State of Giorgia
    This can only bring shame
    You have the choice
    Not to take part in this game
    Strike against murder
    Strike against the state
    Strike for what is right
    Do not fight for hate
    Strike against an innocent man
    Made guilty by fate
    Killing Troy
    Will bring Giorgia
    No Joy
    Only
    Shame!

    Please look into your hearts and do what is right and just.
    Eithne,Rome sept 20 2011

  181. Algún día los Estados Unidos mirará la pena de muerte con la misma vergüenza con la que hoy mira la esclavitud. La pena de muerte no es más que un asesinato, frio y premeditado. No ejecuten a Troy Davis!

  182. Just discovered on French newspaper the Troy Davis case. It rings exactly like the John Grisham novel “The confession” where Donté Drumm was executed despite serious doubt, & named cleared 24 hrs after execution. Man has no right to take the life of someone, & especially when there is the slightest doubt. Let the white light surround you Troy.

  183. S’il vous plait, il est temps pour l’humanité d’abandonner cette barbarie qu’est la peine de mort. N’exécutez pas Troy Davis. N’exécutez plus aucun être humain, par pitié et pour l’amour de Dieu !

    Please, it’s time for humanity : sentence of death is a barbarian. Don’t kill Troy Davis. Don’t kill nomore humans, for the love of god.
    (and excuse my english langage)

  184. The one certainty seems to be that you will irreparably punish this man based upon uncertain facts. Consider these circumstances and make the right decision.

  185. Seul DIEU a le droit d’ôter la vie!!!!! Combien de policiers ont tuer pour rien, on battu de pauvres innocents??? Ont ils été condamnes a mort???? Que DIEU soit clément avec cette homme.

  186. Do not execute Troy Davis! Before enforcing any form of extreme punishment make sure you are 100 percent certain of all facts. Give this case the benefit of the doubt. You will regret your actions later.

  187. If there is a way to stop this, please do so….for the life of me, I cannot understand why the State of Georgia would even consider carrying out this execution. DA Chisolm: I respectfully ask if there is a way you could ask for clemency? As a fellow Southerner, I plead for mercy for this man, as there is not enough evidence to show he committed this crime….

  188. There is planning a murder on an innocent man, same time as the world cry out that this is not justice. The criminals in this case is the people that plan to murder this innocent man. Don´t let criminals go free when they prefer to kill the innocent and lie about that it´s justice. There is to much doubt about Troy Davis. People that believe in TRUE justice want Troy Davis to live and be free and get compensation for all years he have been in jail. That would be justice.

  189. An execution ought not be carried out under a persistent cloud of doubt about guilt. It would show a callous disregard for the very real possibility of putting an innocent person to death.

  190. please, stop !!
    soyez humains, la vie est un bien trop précieux. et les conditions douteuses de sa condamnation ne permettent pas que cet homme soit exécuté comme une bête.
    nous ne sommes pas des animaux
    we are not animals !!

  191. I wonder how many of those who support a new trial for Mr. Davis have actually read the transcript of his original trial or the various opinions of the multiple courts to hear his appeals. These are the facts:
    Davis admits he was at the crime scene, he just denied being the killer;
    All witnesses reported that "the man in the white shirt" killed the police officer;
    Davis was wearing a white shirt, and neither Coles nor any other person present was;
    Monte Holmes has never recanted his testimony that Davis was the shooter;

    Most of the "new" or "recanted" evidence was produced by 2000, and virtually all has been considered at least once in the direct appeals, let alone at the recent hearing; and
    Much of the "recanted" testimony does nothing to cast doubt on the conviction, and none of it comes close to proving Davis is innocent.

    For example, at trial Ben Gordon stated he did not see who shot the policeman. He has since changed his story three times, reporting details of the crime that could not have been seen from his location at the time. The court found he was not credible, and changed his story to add whatever details he believes are helpful to Mr. Davis.

    Dorothy Ferrell recanted her testimony, but she was not called as a witness in 2010, even though she was present in the courthouse. Is Davis' lawyer aware of a problem with her testimony or just incompetent?

    Larry Young testified at trial that Coles was wearing a yellow shirt. In 2010, he "recanted" to the extent he said he could no longer remember who wore what. Even if true, all it shows is a poor memory on his part.

    I can understand being against the death penalty in all cases and to protest this execution on those grounds, but to claim that Mr. Davis has not had a fair trial and full review is to deny the facts.

  192. Really sad story of an attempt to execute an innocent man. There should be absolutely no doubt when executing anyone and clearly there is too much doubt in this case. Will the members of Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles really be able to live with themselves if this execution is carried out?!

  193. Why have the seven witnesses recanted their testimony? And what if he did do it, and the recanted testimony is due to pressure from the other suspect who knows that trying to take him to trial after 20 years will be fruitless. Of course, if he is acquited, and then confesses, he can’t be retried for the crime again. Does the jury feel they made the wrong decision?

  194. Yes stop the execution. Let the family of the murdered police officer go without justice for their loved one.
    Let angelic Troy move into a bleeding heart liberal’s home. See how safe you feel. Let those jurors who think they voted wrong be willing to be prosecuted for their poor judgement during deliberation and lieing in court about their decision; ditto for those “witnesses” who now say they lied during their original testimony. Then we can see whether they are lieing now or just bleeding heart liberals who “changed” their minds about Troy’s guilt and convicting him.
    In fact, I believe every bleeding heart liberal should have the opportunity of having the joy of a convict in their home, where their loved ones live in efar and potential danger.

  195. Please let me agree with the eloquent words of Serge, and
    express my pain that while France abolished the death
    penalty in 1981, 30 years ago, the execution of Troy Davis,
    despite serious doubts as to his guilt and the pleas of
    three of his jurors for clemency, could take place
    tomorrow. To quote the great Lafayette: “I shall ask for
    the abolition of the penalty of death until the
    infallibility of human judgment shall be proven to me.”

    The killing of Troy Davis would not honor the best values of
    Officer Mark MacPhail, who was shot while trying to assist
    the victim of an assault, but would perpetuate the cycle of
    degrading and dehumanizing violence. Nor would it honor the
    values of Tom Paine, one of the founders of the U.S.A., who
    in 1793 courageously argued against the execution of Louis
    Capet (as he often called Louis XVI to show his disdain for
    monarchy) and found the death penalty unfit for a free
    republic.

    May this impending act of lethal injustice yet by averted
    by the grace of Providence and the determination of a
    global movement for abolition of this barbarity of state
    killing in the name of the law.

  196. PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  197. EXECUTION IS FINAL AND IRREVERSIBLE. Going
    forward with an execution when there is so much doubt is
    too horrible to contemplate. There are no words to describe
    how awful this is.

  198. Please, please, please STOP this. If Troy is executed tomorrow it will be forever etched in my heart and mind that the American Justice system is deaf, dumb, blind and immoral.

  199. The State of Georgia or any state for that matter should never execute anyone. Not only is it immoral for anyone to be in the buisiness of killing people, a "state" should never ever be given the power to make such a final decision. Every government is imperfect and should never be given the power to do any act that has permanent consequences.

    The smallest minority is the individual. 

  200. Anyone who assists in the murder of an even POSSIBLY innocent man, will forever be aware that they may have blood on their hands. For the sake of Troy Davis, and the guilty consciousnesses that will be left behind, I hope this execution is stopped.

  201. How can this be 100% certainty of guilt? This is a mockery, It`s not the system that`s at fault it`s the self righteous desire for retribution, which is not the purpose of the justice system at all. What exactly is being protected and served? What happens if after the event it turns out he gets proven innocent? Who will stand up and take the rap for that? Will the judge lay down his life on that?

  202. This just goes to show how the mind of the government still is. This man could have not committed this murder and is still facing the punishment for it. What about Casey Anthony? There was the same amount of evidence if not MORE and she was set free. Stop the execution of Troy Davis !

  203. what if this were your brother, your friend , or your husband an innocent man is about to die because of our failing judicial system. Should we take to hanging anybodybwe even suspect of wrong doing and go back 100 years ?

  204. To all supporters of Troy Davis and of justice….

    The Board of Pardons could not grant clemency since to do so would equal an admission that the justice system is full of defects and not fit for purpose.

    It is essential now that a higher authority intervenes on this matter.

    Go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/ and click ‘Contact us’ and send President Obama an email asking him to do whatever is necessary to prevent the execution of an innocent Black American, Troy Anthony Davis.

    Thank you so much.

  205. have some heart……………..you can't undo an execution when you find out he is innocent

  206. This is dirty south justic whites are innocent until proven guilty. Blacks are guilty until they prove there innocence.

  207. It is frightening to see that USA, along with Republic of China still uses medieval methods of Justice

  208. To all supporters of Troy Davis and of justice…

    Please call the Whitehouse comment line. The number is 202 456 1111 and from the UK 001 202 456 1111. When you get through to the volunteer keep it very brief such as: ‘Please ask President Obama to prevent the execution tomorrow of Troy Davis in Georgia. Troy Davis may be an innocent man’ etc

    Thank you.
    Greetings from Lincolnshire UK.

  209. One of the posters commented, “How can the state of GA kill a man when such a lack of evidence exists? Is that not murder?” The real question is “How can the state of GA kill a man?” Period. Is it not murder whether he is innocent or NOT??? We who oppose the death penalty do not wish to minimize the suffering of the victim’s loved ones in a case such as this. However, we do not believe that the murder of another person, innocent or not, will bring peace or closure to those loved ones. This is nothing short of barbaric, and a great source of shame for our country, in my opinion.

  210. I hope for intervention for Mr Davis. His case is not beyond reasonable doubt, many witnesses have changed their testimonies so the original evidence he was convicted and sentenced on is no longer valid. It was with sadness I learned that what the next 24 hours will bring for this man and his family/friends/supporters. I hope humanity will prevail.

  211. This is complete bullshit! troy davis should not be executed without the facts! people like charles manson and casey anthony werent even put to death. 100% against this!

  212. I just heard AI’s spokesperson on the Thom Hartmann show, saying that even if we lose the fight for Troy that we need to continue mobilizing against the death penalty – YES!

    I sincerely hope that AI will partner with the ACLU campaign, “Cut This! the Death Penalty”: http://www.aclunc.org/issues/criminal_justice/death_penalty/cut_this_-_the_death_penalty.shtml

    Also, many are calling on the medical staff which will oversee the execution to STAY HOME tomorrow: http://www.schr.org/action/resources/georgia_senator_joins_schr_to_urge_execution_staff_to_strike_refuse_to_kill_troy_da

    Here’s a sample fax you can send to the “doctor” posted on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notes/pennsylvanians-for-alternatives-to-the-death-penalty/sample-fax-to-dr-carlo-musso-re-troy-davis/251219404922739

  213. This man does NOT deserve to die at the hand of the state! There is plenty of reasonable doubt. The guilty ones are walking free, and what appears to be an innocent man will be put to death. Another blight on humanity!!

  214. Its all have to do with race.Blacks are always at the receiving end .Also campaign to end the private prison systems,profit by getting people convicted ?What world are we living in?

  215. It’s not right. Nothing about this is right. The authorities need seine to pin this on to appease the bloodlust from those around them, especially those in their own ranks. It’s terrible that people were killed, yet it’s an even more grievous atrocity to execute another man for a crime in which there is overehelming evidence that he did not commit. STOP THIS.

  216. Beyond a color, this is a human. It is our duty as a people to protect justice in our own country. PLEASE do not let our duties go unfulfilled. Protect justice. Stop this execution. Give fair trial.

  217. When there is even a shadow of a doubt, humanity, decency and justice should prevent us from doing anything that can’t be reversed. This. Is. Wrong. Stop.

  218. This execution must NOT proceed. If it does the whole concept of justice is destroyed. The execution of any man where there is so much evidential doubt is an appalling abuse of human rights and should not be tolerated in any nation which regards itself as civilised. Please GEORGIA – do the right thing and commute this sentence.

  219. This is really not fair…..he has been in jail for 20 years and there are other suspects! not fair at all letss do what is right and the right thing to do is find evidence and NOT EXECUTE HIM PLEASE!!!

  220. The state of Georgia must not execute Troy Davis. there’s is too much doubt. Serve justice!

  221. From Austria: This would be a barbaric, racist killing of an innocent. Shame on Georgia, shame on the United States.

    Everybody in the position to stop that should do his part!!!

  222. PLEASE DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS . You probably execute an innocent man and it will be too late when you know it. We can’t believe that an American state can be so archaic to reach the point to do that murder ! Please stop this execution so that we can trust American justice.
    La peine de mort est elle aussi un crime… et un crime commis par un Etat. Au nom de quoi un Etat aurait-il le droit de tuer, alors que ses lois condamnent le crime ?

  223. too bad this is possible… death penalty should be forbidden all over the world… This should not happen…

    Hope a miracle will happen…

    RIP Troy

  224. How can you execute a man when there is reasonable doubt? If he were a white man, would he have been on death row at all? Yes, race does and will always matter in America. He should be a free man. This case reminds me of the movie "The Wrong Man." Although the circumstances are different, the wrong man is still being penalized for a crime that he didn't commit. Please don't execute this man, but free him!!!

  225. It would be a huge mistake to go through with this execution/murder on the basis of the facts!,please PLEASE stop and re examine his case!!!

  226. I certainly hope that the Georgia officials who have the power to make the decision to hold the death penalty because of uncertainty of this mans guilt will stop and think about how questionable this trial this trial has been all these years. The death penalty is a very serious practice and anyone, anyone who makes a final decision to have a human being put to death should be absolutely certain, without question, beyond any doubt, that the person is guilty. Please reconsider this case against Tony Davis. There is too much doubt lingering in this case and the death penalty should not be considered in this case. Tony Davis should not be put to death. Please think about how awful it would be if you continue to let this man pay by death for something that he very well may not have done. Listen to what people are saying, think about it again before you finalize this person’s life. Think about what has been said. Please think and think again. Thank You for reconsidering and saving an person’s life who is very possibly, not guilty.

  227. There is just TOO much wrong with this case. SUPPOSE YOU KILL HIM AND THEN FIND OUT YOU WERE WRONG???

    They can fry Mumia Jamal any day they want, he's guilty as hell, but this guy is different and there are just too many holes in the case. What's the rush to kill him? They can let him sit on death row while they get their facts straight, which they should have done at the time of the trial, duh. It's not like he's relaxing on the Riviera while they do the job they should have done in the first place.

  228. I personally condemn death penalty. Who is allowed to kill? No one. Death sentence as a way to establish justice is an absurdity. Free Tony Davis and find the real murder.

  229. This is really injust…..He has been in jail for 20 years and there are other suspects! This is not fair at all! Let's do what is right and the right thing to do is find evidence and NOT EXECUTE HIM PLEASE!!!

  230. Putting aside that the death penalty is worse than animals and rather barbaric, it sounds very much like it is far from clear that there is clear evidence of guilt here. Witnesses recalling their testimony? How can you push this through, and why? Please let a potentially innocent person live. It's just wrong.

  231. Please stop the execution! I firmly believe it's never right to take someones life unless in self defense and this case is even more important with all the doubts about his involvement in the killing.

  232. I am appalled at the decision to deny clemency in the death sentence of Troy Davis. His case is a textbook example of what I thought is the letter of the law: beyond a shadow of doubt. There could not be more doubt in this case. Everyone involved in denying clemency will have to live with the knowledge that they are responsible for the state-sanctioned murder of a fellow human being. At seven PM tomorrow night each of them will become a murderer. And there is not a shadow of a doubt in their case.

  233. When a few take too much power into their own hands, it is ourselves that we must look to for allowing it. We are responsible. There is no justification to kill when it is not in defense of a life. This makes Mark a killer along with his supporters. Regardless of Troy’s innocence. Like so many do, they now become the very thing they hate so much. Instead of healing this wound they allowed it to fester all these years until blind hatred is all they can feel. This out of control animal blood lust for revenge is not what we believe in and not the rule of law. It must end now.

  234. Is there any doubt that this man is guilty? YES. Can we therefore justify executing this man? NO. May everyone who could prevent this rot in hell if you do.

  235. Executions only solve the problem of overcrowding in prisons and not a service of justice. Besides having the world's largest prison population, 25%, and spending the more than any other nation, we're well on our way to also topping the charts in executions.
    Stop the violence! Stop the Madness!!!

  236. Probably the only argument that might sway those who want to execute Troy Davis is the fact that his execution will advance the cause of abolition of the death penalty.

  237. Guilt is not sure it seems.
    Anyway death is NOT the answer.
    Why did the witnesses retract??
    Please, stop it while there is still time for life.

  238. I do not believe in capital punishment. The fact that there is any doubt at all, and potential corruption at stake here, makes this even more of an abboration. Please, do not go ahead, and review this case as an urgent matter.

  239. If 7 out of 9 witnesses recanted their story to say that they were terrorized by police why is justice not being served. Then DNA didn't match. The only thing I can see with this case is that Troy had some issues dealing with the law in the past and they are really using that against him. I am truly sorry that someone died then on top of that a police officer. The murder weapon was never found nor there is enough evidence to say he was the trigger man. Then the other guy was going around boasting saying he killed the officer. So with the state of Georgia killing Troy do they think justice will be served HELL NO. According to law he is innocent until proven guilty and yet that has not been determined. His trial was horrible and unfair. We can pull the race card but yet what if the tables were turned. A police officer killing an innocent citizen………what would they to that officer? Not a damn thing. The ones that deserve the death penalty walk away free or life in jail. The officers know who the real killer is. My heart goes out to both families the officer (he didnt really get a chance to know his sons) and Troy. God be with us all. I am praying that they do the right thing and stop the execution. God will deliver and we the people of the United States of America lets stop this from happening. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL..

  240. Stop this execution! The presence of reasonable doubt must be recognised. It's the most basic legal principle.

  241. We teach our young to be be truthful, honest, compassionate, generous, and to help our fellow man. How we can so cruelly dismiss the lack of evidence and murder an innocent man. It is cause for all of us to become so disenfranchised from our sense of humanity that a belief in an an Almighty God
    is just a pretense.
    Please allow Troy to live and be given the opportunity to be found innocent.

  242. PLEASE, do not kill Troy Davis, There is more than reasonable doubt worth reinvestigation. We as a society are better than chugging ahead and blindly killing someone. I am a Southerner, and I don't want the rest of the country to look down on us for not being intelligent and thorough. We are better than that.

  243. This situation SHOULD NOT be taken lightly. This is a person’s life on the line. What has our country come to with this crooked justice system? It’s time for us to stand up and fight back. We are all in this together. God, please help us.

  244. Don’t execute him. Because of the evidence. Because a society is judged on the way it treats its prisoners. Because the duty of the state is to protect its citizens, and that duty does not extend to executing those who may be innocent.

  245. If there is doubt, which there clearly is in this case, then how can the execution be justified now or ever. Stop this and give the man a chance to have the doubts examined properly.

  246. This would be a vast tragedy on the part of the justice system. If there is ANY shred of doubt, the execution should take a permanent vacation. Too many people have come forward regarding this matter, it’s time to do the right thing & follow the signs. This shall remain in our thoughts & prayers.

  247. Barack Obama il guje sans le savoire . c'est quand méme grave de tuer quelqu'un sans étre sur de ce que cette personne a fait dieu ne pardonnera jamais ces gens la . est moi qui es cru que l'esclavage été fini malheureusement je vois que non . c'est facile de gujer est de tuer pour ses gens mais dieu ne dors pas .

  248. Repeating Larry’s line because it’s just so spot on: “Please allow Troy to live and be given the opportunity to be found innocent.”
    Stop the execution.

    Where can we send our messages so that they are heard?

  249. I just happened to see something about Troy online. It is the first I have heard anything about this. I know nothing about him or his case, besides the very small amount I just read. It seems to me that if this many people can see the reasonable doubt in this case, then he should not be executed.

    However Troy, even if this doesnt work out, you will be free. No more prison, no more pain. Just free. God bless you, no matter what happens, and know that all the way over here in Texas, someone cares.

    Too bad he probably wont see any of these posts 🙁

  251. Count my vote against the execution of any man or woman that has this much reasonable doubt collected, it looks to me that a Mistrial should be declared in a case where so many people could be charged with perjury. I am sorry for the loss of life of the Officer in this case, and I am equally sure that the police department did everything they could to receive a "Guilty Verdict" in this case. All things considered, There is No JUSTICE in the Execution of a potentially innocent man.Do NOT EXECUTE THIS MAN!

  252. I'm against the execution of Troy Davis. Not enough evidence. Please stop his execution. Thank you.

  253. My prayers go out to Troy Davis. If our justice system is to work than this man must not be executed. If the outcry of the people will not be heard than this travesty of justice will continue and who knows who else will be put to death by corruption, lying prosecutors, coerced confessions, and so much more.

  254. Please, please do not execute Troy Davis.

    S'il vous plait, soyez clément au nom de l'humanité et pour l'amour de Dieu.

  255. Please do not execute this man – what is the meaning of – beyond reasonable doubt – it seems this is not true and shame on you if he is not granted clemency

  256. There is to much doubt based on LACK of evidence to execute any person. I would take those who provided false statements if Troy is executed and sue them, then sue the courts for murder, wrongful execution then put them on trial to be put on death row for murder.

  257. Please stop this execution of Troy Davis. I am very sorry for the victims family who lost a loved one. But executing the wrong person would be a travesty, and an indication the American Judicial System has failed. The Federal Judges should have allowed Davis a New Trial. There is too much Doubt!

  258. Im not saying Troy Davis is guilty or not guilty, but I am saying the evidence in this trial is not sufficient enough to sentence a man to death.

  259. I’m appalled by this case. Please see sense and call off the execution, there is so much doubt that Mr Davis committed this crime. I was shocked that the appeal for clemency was denied earlier. Rethink!

  260. Please stop murder people in the name of the state,

    and dont let the real murder go free. And kill and inocent man when u are not sure.
    The victims family must want the real murder to be in jail, or?

    Stop ! Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt.

    Show that there is some intelligent people that roule the world.

  261. Kill Troy
    Why?
    To the State of Giorgia
    This can bring no joy
    Nine of those who said
    “He did”
    Now say “he didn’t!”
    No DNA was ever found
    At the crime
    No fingerprints point to killing
    An innocent man in his prime
    Kill Troy
    Why?
    To the State of Giorgia
    This can only bring shame
    You have the choice
    Not to take part in this game
    Strike against murder
    Strike against the state
    Strike for what is right
    Do not fight for hate
    Strike against an innocent man
    Made guilty by fate
    Killing Troy
    Will bring Giorgia
    No Joy
    Only
    Shame!

    Please look into your hearts and do what is right and just.
    Eithne,Rome sept 20 2011

  262. The one certainty seems to be that you will irreparably punish this man based upon uncertain facts. Consider these circumstances and make the right decision.

  263. Seul DIEU a le droit d’ôter la vie!!!!! Combien de policiers ont tuer pour rien, on battu de pauvres innocents??? Ont ils été condamnes a mort???? Que DIEU soit clément avec cette homme.

  264. Do not execute Troy Davis! Before enforcing any form of extreme punishment make sure you are 100 percent certain of all facts. Give this case the benefit of the doubt. You will regret your actions later.

  265. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis. Re-examine the evidence before proceeding with this decision. Blind revenge will not make anything right. Murder is not justice!

  266. Please halt this execution as unjust and immoral. Please reopen the case and examine the facts objectively and spare this innocent man's life, in the name of decency and justice.

  267. If there is a way to stop this, please do so….for the life of me, I cannot understand why the State of Georgia would even consider carrying out this execution. DA Chisolm: I respectfully ask if there is a way you could ask for clemency? As a fellow Southerner, I plead for mercy for this man, as there is not enough evidence to show he committed this crime….

  268. An execution ought not be carried out under a persistent cloud of doubt about guilt. It would show a callous disregard for the very real possibility of putting an innocent person to death.

  269. I wonder how many of those who support a new trial for Mr. Davis have actually read the transcript of his original trial or the various opinions of the multiple courts to hear his appeals. These are the facts:
    Davis admits he was at the crime scene, he just denied being the killer;
    All witnesses reported that “the man in the white shirt” killed the police officer;
    Davis was wearing a white shirt, and neither Coles nor any other person present was;
    Monte Holmes has never recanted his testimony that Davis was the shooter;

    Most of the “new” or “recanted” evidence was produced by 2000, and virtually all has been considered at least once in the direct appeals, let alone at the recent hearing; and
    Much of the “recanted” testimony does nothing to cast doubt on the conviction, and none of it comes close to proving Davis is innocent.

    For example, at trial Ben Gordon stated he did not see who shot the policeman. He has since changed his story three times, reporting details of the crime that could not have been seen from his location at the time. The court found he was not credible, and changed his story to add whatever details he believes are helpful to Mr. Davis.

    Dorothy Ferrell recanted her testimony, but she was not called as a witness in 2010, even though she was present in the courthouse. Is Davis’ lawyer aware of a problem with her testimony or just incompetent?

    Larry Young testified at trial that Coles was wearing a yellow shirt. In 2010, he “recanted” to the extent he said he could no longer remember who wore what. Even if true, all it shows is a poor memory on his part.

    I can understand being against the death penalty in all cases and to protest this execution on those grounds, but to claim that Mr. Davis has not had a fair trial and full review is to deny the facts.

  270. Stop the execution!
    Yes, there is not enough evidence, but the core reason for me is that vengeance, although legalized, cannot be the path to a rightful, compassionate and solidary society. Lawful does not mean right. Lawful killings destroy the fabric of a society, in part because it leads to simplistic and false ways of thinking which divide the population between good and bad. I am both bad and good, and so is everyone, so is Troy Davis.
    Do not execute Troy Davis!

  271. PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  272. I am so sad and shocked today that the Board of Pardons did not grant clemency to Troy Davis. Please, please bring true justice–have mercy on an innocent man. Someone else confessed to this crime. I am always against the death penalty, but especially in this case. When 7 of 9 witnesses recanted and other new witnesses have not been heard, why can't Troy have a new trial? Or let the other man who confessed be brought to trial. Life is sacred. I know the MacPhail family is sad at their loss, but let's not kill an innocent man to "bring peace." More death cannot bring true peace. The world is watching GA now to see if we really strive to promote human rights. Stop the execution! I pray for a miracle.

  273. There is enough doubt to warrant a pause to look at this case more closely. A "mistake" in an execution cannot be fixed. Be sure. Be willing to re-examine the evidence. Do not send an innocent man to death. This will not bring justice or closure to the victim's family.

  274. Those who are perfectly able to act and stop this execution and either do not act or in fact enable this execution to go forward, will have to answer one day.
    I would not want to be one of you when that time comes, but I will be there and will ask you if you feel worthy entering that place. Remember that your days are limited on this earth as well and there will be that moment when your life flashes by you and you must ask yourself that same question. We all will be there to meet you at that moment, including Troy. How much have you Loved today? Who did you judge today? Remember that self forgiveness will be the most difficult when you get there my friend. No one will need to judge you because you will see how hard and painful it will be to judge yourself.

  275. God knows the truth and so does the legal system. DO NOT PUT AN INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  276. The State of Georgia or any state for that matter should never execute anyone. Not only is it immoral for anyone to be in the buisiness of killing people, a “state” should never ever be given the power to make such a final decision. Every government is imperfect and should never be given the power to do any act that has permanent consequences.

    The smallest minority is the individual. 

  277. Anyone who assists in the murder of an even POSSIBLY innocent man, will forever be aware that they may have blood on their hands. For the sake of Troy Davis, and the guilty consciousnesses that will be left behind, I hope this execution is stopped.

  278. Has not Alabama alone killed enough black men? We are still fighting the civil war. To the women who asked how they can execute without evidence. They murdered Martin Luther King Jr. ref. William Pepper," The State Ordered Execution of Martin Luther King". A trial was set in yr 2000 in Tennessee and a new ruling set that those responsible were in deed Mafia,Tex-ass oil tycoon and CIA commander. We live in a Mafia style government and they decide who is important and who is not who lives and who does not in conjunction with their Wall St Pit bosses. Wake up and smell the polluted air, the facts are all around you. Just because they have a house servant in the white house don't mean squat. If Jesus showed up on tomorrow they'd label him a threat and nail him on the cross again, but this time with an injection needle.

  279. what if this were your brother, your friend , or your husband an innocent man is about to die because of our failing judicial system. Should we take to hanging anybodybwe even suspect of wrong doing and go back 100 years ?

  280. STOP THE EXECUTION OF MR. TROY DAVIS !!! No one has the right to decide when to end a human's life… The judicial system was designed to give a fair trial to all man kind —- innocent until proven guilty. In this case, Mr. Davis was denied of such a trial. This time, do not deny him the right to live and the chance to prove his innocence. Twenty years in prison is enough punishment for an innocent man! STOP THE DEATH OF MR. TROY DAVIS !!!

  281. Please STOP the execution of this man. It is obvious that there is too much doubt. I mean why would an entire nation stand behind a young man they have never met like this. Are all our opinions wrong? The case has fallen apart. Where is the evidence here? Please implicate the right person and think of this man who has wasted 20 years of his life in the system. Give him a second chance at life. Think about your family members and how you would feel if they were in his position. There is just too much doubt. PLEASE SAFE TROY DAVIS'S LIFE!! My prayers are with you Troy. Whatever this state decides GOD WILL BE WITH YOU!!!

  282. America is clearly the land of Fascism – Do we have another Nazi Germany on our hands?
    What ever happened to just doing what is right?
    FREE INNOCENT PEOPLE – WHERE IS YOUR SOUL

  283. have some heart……………..you can’t undo an execution when you find out he is innocent

  284. Mr. Davis need a fair trial to prove his innocence to many mistake in the legal system. Stop the execution! TOO MUCH DOUBT.

  285. It is frightening to see that USA, along with Republic of China still uses medieval methods of Justice

  286. Troy Davis got a fair trial. He had multiple times to prove himself innocent. He could not, however, because he is not innocent. Justice will finally be served.

  287. THE PROSECUTION DID NOT DISCHARGE THEIR BURDEN OF PROOF BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. The idea of putting a man to death when it has failed to do so is ridiculous, laughable and utterly grotesque.

  288. I hope for intervention for Mr Davis. His case is not beyond reasonable doubt, many witnesses have changed their testimonies so the original evidence he was convicted and sentenced on is no longer valid. It was with sadness I learned that what the next 24 hours will bring for this man and his family/friends/supporters. I hope humanity will prevail.

  289. This man does NOT deserve to die at the hand of the state! There is plenty of reasonable doubt. The guilty ones are walking free, and what appears to be an innocent man will be put to death. Another blight on humanity!!

  290. How can this be 100% certainty of guilt? This is a mockery, It`s not the system that`s at fault it`s the self righteous desire for retribution, which is not the purpose of the justice system at all. What exactly is being protected and served? What happens if after the event it turns out he gets proven innocent? Who will stand up and take the rap for that? Will the judge lay down his life on that?

  291. This just goes to show how the mind of the government still is. This man could have not committed this murder and is still facing the punishment for it. What about Casey Anthony? There was the same amount of evidence if not MORE and she was set free. Stop the execution of Troy Davis !

  292. In the name of all humanity please do not willingly put another person to death. Please do not go ahead with the execution of Troy Davis. What if Troy was your son, your father, your brother? Do not have the blood of this man on your hands. Stop the execution NOW.

  293. We, the People are rising to confront the Humorless Arrogance, Illusory Prestige, Brute Force, and Primeval Stupidity that has gripped our government.

  294. Do not be a party to this madness. Execution when there is doubt is a crime on the part of those who make that decision

  295. This is really not fair…..he has been in jail for 20 years and there are other suspects! not fair at all letss do what is right and the right thing to do is find evidence and NOT EXECUTE HIM PLEASE!!!

  296. How can you execute a man when there is reasonable doubt? If he were a white man, would he have been on death row at all? Yes, race does and will always matter in America. He should be a free man. This case reminds me of the movie “The Wrong Man.” Although the circumstances are different, the wrong man is still being penalized for a crime that he didn’t commit. Please don’t execute this man, but free him!!!

  297. This is not an execution, this is murder. How can you execute this man if there is so much doubt?!Stop the execution!

  298. Please reconsider this decision to execute Troy Davis. There is too much doubt. RECONSIDER, it's not too late right now.

  299. Please stop the execution because of so much doubt!!! We should not be playing God with people's lives!

  300. It would be a huge mistake to go through with this execution/murder on the basis of the facts!,please PLEASE stop and re examine his case!!!

  301. There is just TOO much wrong with this case. SUPPOSE YOU KILL HIM AND THEN FIND OUT YOU WERE WRONG???

    They can fry Mumia Jamal any day they want, he’s guilty as hell, but this guy is different and there are just too many holes in the case. What’s the rush to kill him? They can let him sit on death row while they get their facts straight, which they should have done at the time of the trial, duh. It’s not like he’s relaxing on the Riviera while they do the job they should have done in the first place.

  302. Stop this execution!! This man does not deserve to die for a crime he might not have committed. There is too much doubt, why kill someone who could be completely innocent??

  303. This is really injust…..He has been in jail for 20 years and there are other suspects! This is not fair at all! Let’s do what is right and the right thing to do is find evidence and NOT EXECUTE HIM PLEASE!!!

  304. Putting aside that the death penalty is worse than animals and rather barbaric, it sounds very much like it is far from clear that there is clear evidence of guilt here. Witnesses recalling their testimony? How can you push this through, and why? Please let a potentially innocent person live. It’s just wrong.

  305. Please stop the execution! I firmly believe it’s never right to take someones life unless in self defense and this case is even more important with all the doubts about his involvement in the killing.

  306. You no what if it was a white man know one would say anything, the boy and his mom lost there loved one because Davis shot him so now it is his turn. COUNTIUE WITH THE EXECUTION…

  307. Executions only solve the problem of overcrowding in prisons and not a service of justice. Besides having the world’s largest prison population, 25%, and spending the more than any other nation, we’re well on our way to also topping the charts in executions.
    Stop the violence! Stop the Madness!!!

  308. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The death penalty is barbaric – and when guilt cannot be established beyond reasonable doubt, when so many are questioning the circumstances of Troy Davis's conviction, will the State not be guilty themselves of criminal homicide if they refuse to listen?
    Stop the execution now.

  309. If 7 out of 9 witnesses recanted their story to say that they were terrorized by police why is justice not being served. Then DNA didn’t match. The only thing I can see with this case is that Troy had some issues dealing with the law in the past and they are really using that against him. I am truly sorry that someone died then on top of that a police officer. The murder weapon was never found nor there is enough evidence to say he was the trigger man. Then the other guy was going around boasting saying he killed the officer. So with the state of Georgia killing Troy do they think justice will be served HELL NO. According to law he is innocent until proven guilty and yet that has not been determined. His trial was horrible and unfair. We can pull the race card but yet what if the tables were turned. A police officer killing an innocent citizen………what would they to that officer? Not a damn thing. The ones that deserve the death penalty walk away free or life in jail. The officers know who the real killer is. My heart goes out to both families the officer (he didnt really get a chance to know his sons) and Troy. God be with us all. I am praying that they do the right thing and stop the execution. God will deliver and we the people of the United States of America lets stop this from happening. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL..

  310. Stop this execution! The presence of reasonable doubt must be recognised. It’s the most basic legal principle.

  311. PLEASE, do not kill Troy Davis, There is more than reasonable doubt worth reinvestigation. We as a society are better than chugging ahead and blindly killing someone. I am a Southerner, and I don’t want the rest of the country to look down on us for not being intelligent and thorough. We are better than that.

  312. Please stop this execution. We don't need another innocent death on the hand of this judicial system. The facts need to reviewed and more research and investigation needs to be done to make sure that the right person is convicted. Please consider the cry of the people!!

  313. Barack Obama il guje sans le savoire . c’est quand méme grave de tuer quelqu’un sans étre sur de ce que cette personne a fait dieu ne pardonnera jamais ces gens la . est moi qui es cru que l’esclavage été fini malheureusement je vois que non . c’est facile de gujer est de tuer pour ses gens mais dieu ne dors pas .

  315. Count my vote against the execution of any man or woman that has this much reasonable doubt collected, it looks to me that a Mistrial should be declared in a case where so many people could be charged with perjury. I am sorry for the loss of life of the Officer in this case, and I am equally sure that the police department did everything they could to receive a “Guilty Verdict” in this case. All things considered, There is No JUSTICE in the Execution of a potentially innocent man.Do NOT EXECUTE THIS MAN!

  316. Everybody deserves Life and no one deserves death penalty
    even he would be the murder, what i am not thinking, he shouldnt be executed because its not right to take away someones Life ! so please let him be free of that and free of execution and focus every doubt and take it seriously and let Him be a FrEE Man in the Love of God. Jesus be with him. (#)

  317. wow, i heard about this on the news the other day and was just reading up on it. and looked more into it and by reading the story more and looking at a number of comments, i just have a gut feeling in my stomach that this is an innocent man. I am not against the death penalty don't get me wrong but like they say, if there's any doubt and it seems from what i've been reading it is A LOT then don't execute. i hope he pulls through this reminds me of True Crime with Clint Eastwood.

  318. I’m against the execution of Troy Davis. Not enough evidence. Please stop his execution. Thank you.

  319. Please, please do not execute Troy Davis.

    S’il vous plait, soyez clément au nom de l’humanité et pour l’amour de Dieu.

  320. Please do not execute this man – what is the meaning of – beyond reasonable doubt – it seems this is not true and shame on you if he is not granted clemency

  321. If this is carried out, how will we ever listen again with straight face to "lessons" given in Jury Duty? I remember the concept of reasonable doubt, it was taught very well…this is a insult to anyone who ever took the process seriously.

  322. Please hault the execution of Troy Davis. TOO much doubt exist for it to be proven beyond a REASONABLE doubt that Davis is to be sent to death row. If anything, life in jail is sufficient. It cost far more to execute than to let him serve life in jail.

  323. i really do feel sorry for the policeman's family. no doubt he was(is) a very special person and they do miss him alot. but please, open your eyes leaders and the family. do you really want this innocent man's blood on your hand? how would you feel, lf he was your son and you know he is innocent?

  324. There is to much doubt based on LACK of evidence to execute any person. I would take those who provided false statements if Troy is executed and sue them, then sue the courts for murder, wrongful execution then put them on trial to be put on death row for murder.

  325. has it gotten to the point where the justice system does not need a reason to kill people? i think we should all be a little afraid. this could have easily been either one of us or our children. and to think you pay them a hefty salary, and they hand out so much injustice. they are laughing all the way to the bank with your money. you and yours mean nothing to these leaders, and you elected rhem.

  326. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis. Re-examine the evidence before proceeding with this decision. Blind revenge will not make anything right. Murder is not justice!

  327. Please halt this execution as unjust and immoral. Please reopen the case and examine the facts objectively and spare this innocent man’s life, in the name of decency and justice.

  328. Stop the execution!
    Yes, there is not enough evidence, but the core reason for me is that vengeance, although legalized, cannot be the path to a rightful, compassionate and solidary society. Lawful does not mean right. Lawful killings destroy the fabric of a society, in part because it leads to simplistic and false ways of thinking which divide the population between good and bad. I am both bad and good, and so is everyone, so is Troy Davis.
    Do not execute Troy Davis!

  329. I am so sad and shocked today that the Board of Pardons did not grant clemency to Troy Davis. Please, please bring true justice–have mercy on an innocent man. Someone else confessed to this crime. I am always against the death penalty, but especially in this case. When 7 of 9 witnesses recanted and other new witnesses have not been heard, why can’t Troy have a new trial? Or let the other man who confessed be brought to trial. Life is sacred. I know the MacPhail family is sad at their loss, but let’s not kill an innocent man to “bring peace.” More death cannot bring true peace. The world is watching GA now to see if we really strive to promote human rights. Stop the execution! I pray for a miracle.

  330. There is enough doubt to warrant a pause to look at this case more closely. A “mistake” in an execution cannot be fixed. Be sure. Be willing to re-examine the evidence. Do not send an innocent man to death. This will not bring justice or closure to the victim’s family.

  331. Those who are perfectly able to act and stop this execution and either do not act or in fact enable this execution to go forward, will have to answer one day.
    I would not want to be one of you when that time comes, but I will be there and will ask you if you feel worthy entering that place. Remember that your days are limited on this earth as well and there will be that moment when your life flashes by you and you must ask yourself that same question. We all will be there to meet you at that moment, including Troy. How much have you Loved today? Who did you judge today? Remember that self forgiveness will be the most difficult when you get there my friend. No one will need to judge you because you will see how hard and painful it will be to judge yourself.

  332. God knows the truth and so does the legal system. DO NOT PUT AN INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  333. This is outrageous!

    What kind of court system is this? I don't understand how these executers can sleep at night. One have to believe that they are criminals themselves! This would never happen i Europe except if the court is corrupt. Maybe it is?

    We are many who watch you from all over the world and we will keep fighting for justice until it happens. This is insane

    Remember, there is a day when we all have to deal with our actions. I wouldn't like to be you (the executers) on this day…

  334. Has not Alabama alone killed enough black men? We are still fighting the civil war. To the women who asked how they can execute without evidence. They murdered Martin Luther King Jr. ref. William Pepper,” The State Ordered Execution of Martin Luther King”. A trial was set in yr 2000 in Tennessee and a new ruling set that those responsible were in deed Mafia,Tex-ass oil tycoon and CIA commander. We live in a Mafia style government and they decide who is important and who is not who lives and who does not in conjunction with their Wall St Pit bosses. Wake up and smell the polluted air, the facts are all around you. Just because they have a house servant in the white house don’t mean squat. If Jesus showed up on tomorrow they’d label him a threat and nail him on the cross again, but this time with an injection needle.

  335. STOP THE EXECUTION OF MR. TROY DAVIS !!! No one has the right to decide when to end a human’s life… The judicial system was designed to give a fair trial to all man kind —- innocent until proven guilty. In this case, Mr. Davis was denied of such a trial. This time, do not deny him the right to live and the chance to prove his innocence. Twenty years in prison is enough punishment for an innocent man! STOP THE DEATH OF MR. TROY DAVIS !!!

  336. No more innocent's blood for your hungry eyes!!! Reconsider before it's too late! HALT the execution now! The whole World is watching you, please give Troy Davies a chance!

  337. Please stop the execution of this man! Why would you want to kill a man that evidence and testimony's are showing quite possibly is innocent. It makes no sense. GRANT HIM CLEMENCY AND DONT KILL THIS MAN FOR SOMETHING HE DID NOT DO.

  338. Please STOP the execution of this man. It is obvious that there is too much doubt. I mean why would an entire nation stand behind a young man they have never met like this. Are all our opinions wrong? The case has fallen apart. Where is the evidence here? Please implicate the right person and think of this man who has wasted 20 years of his life in the system. Give him a second chance at life. Think about your family members and how you would feel if they were in his position. There is just too much doubt. PLEASE SAFE TROY DAVIS’S LIFE!! My prayers are with you Troy. Whatever this state decides GOD WILL BE WITH YOU!!!

  339. America is clearly the land of Fascism – Do we have another Nazi Germany on our hands?
    What ever happened to just doing what is right?
    FREE INNOCENT PEOPLE – WHERE IS YOUR SOUL

  340. The death penalty has nothing to recommend it and should be aboliished once and for all. Let put our time,effort and money into reforming the societal structures that create crime in the first place and by improving the situation of those most disadvantaged in our society.

  341. Mr. Davis need a fair trial to prove his innocence to many mistake in the legal system. Stop the execution! TOO MUCH DOUBT.

  342. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  343. Troy Davis got a fair trial. He had multiple times to prove himself innocent. He could not, however, because he is not innocent. Justice will finally be served.

  344. THE PROSECUTION DID NOT DISCHARGE THEIR BURDEN OF PROOF BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. The idea of putting a man to death when it has failed to do so is ridiculous, laughable and utterly grotesque.

  345. you must commute this sentence to life at the very least
    do not put to death an innocent man
    do not have blood on your hands like many of those you judge do

  346. Stop the barabarian execution of a innocent man!
    Im wtiring to you from Sweden, Please dont take this mans life away! The states should be a country where it has to be prooven that you have committed a crime, this is NOT Iran be human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  347. In the name of all humanity please do not willingly put another person to death. Please do not go ahead with the execution of Troy Davis. What if Troy was your son, your father, your brother? Do not have the blood of this man on your hands. Stop the execution NOW.

  348. We, the People are rising to confront the Humorless Arrogance, Illusory Prestige, Brute Force, and Primeval Stupidity that has gripped our government.

  349. Do not be a party to this madness. Execution when there is doubt is a crime on the part of those who make that decision

  350. He who hath not sinned, cast thy first stone!!!!!!!!! IN THE MERCIFUL AND ALL POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS PROTECT TROY FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA!!! To all involved in sending this man to such a fate, and yes even to the family of the victim, may God have mercy on your souls come judgement day!!! The entire country should be ashamed. 🙁

  351. stop the governmental murder of troy davis and any other prisoners in america.
    shame on the damned u.s.a.
    shame on georgia, the state of no homo sapiens.
    everyone, who is involved to this illegal murder should be damned.
    the u.s.a. is a state of state-terrorism within and outside. all human rights are nothing worth there – only the white, the rich and the uneducated politicians can do what they want.
    where are the intelligent inhabitants? there are no one. all the wealthy loud-mouthed "vip's" – f… you all.
    damn to the alibi-black obama, who is sending innocent people like troy davis quite aware to death. obama is the true murderer.

  352. I am disturbed and doubtful when the main ( in fact, the only) evidence on which this verdict rests is that of eye witnesses, Eye witness testimony has been shown in many different studies over many years to be very unreliable, even when the eye witnesses are completely certain what they saw. Eye witnesses who contradict themselves and each other indicates to me there is more than reasonable doubt,
    In addition, at least one of the eye witnesses is also a suspect himself or would be if this conviction were over turned.
    As many have said execution is irreversible. Justice is not served when an injustice is committed in its name.

  353. stop this madness! there is not enough evidence to take away this mans life! innocent blood need'nt be spilt on anybodies hands! stop now and hear the pleading of all of troys supporters, surely you can see that what you are doing is wrong?!

  354. Many doubts, many inconsistencies!
    And you want to take away from Troy's life! How will you live after that? I'm against it!!

  355. This is not an execution, this is murder. How can you execute this man if there is so much doubt?!Stop the execution!

  356. Please reconsider this decision to execute Troy Davis. There is too much doubt. RECONSIDER, it’s not too late right now.

  357. Please stop the execution because of so much doubt!!! We should not be playing God with people’s lives!

  358. Please STOP the execution! We are with you TROY DAVIS , you are NOT ALONE! We pray for you. GOD BLESS

  359. American authority are just racist criminal murder. To take decision to a death penality request absolutely DNA and more. All the country with death penality are more bad than Hitler, Ben Laden, etc…

  360. Stop this execution!! This man does not deserve to die for a crime he might not have committed. There is too much doubt, why kill someone who could be completely innocent??

  361. Totaly insane if it´s true what some idiot write here before that Troy have to prof that he is innocent and that the fact is about a white T-shirt??????????? There is lot of people that use white T-shirt and can be able to be in the wrong place. Shall a Law system put all of us to death??? Because we are not able to prof that we are innocent since we use that stupid T-shirt??????
    Fine then put a law that it is a crime to use white T-shirt then since that is more important to the Law system then DNA and Crime weapons. That all people have to prof they are innocent. Instead of the law to prof they have done a crime. Then kill all of us. Or do what is right. Free Troy Davis NOW since you can´t prof he did the crime

  362. correct myself it was not white T-shirt it was " a White Shirt" that is something even the people in court use to have. Or people that work in office. Stop this madness. Let Troy Davis be free

  363. You no what if it was a white man know one would say anything, the boy and his mom lost there loved one because Davis shot him so now it is his turn. COUNTIUE WITH THE EXECUTION…

  364. So you the man in white shirt at court or wherever you sit that decide that Troy Davis shall die. Why`? The only prof you have of the murderer in the White shirt is yourself. Since YOU are the one that planning to murder an innocent man. There is not enough prof to bind Troy Davis to the crime. Then he is innocent until YOU in the white shirt can prof he have done the crime. When you not are able to prof he have done the crime. and YOU in the white shirt put him to death. It´s YOU that are the criminal and stop hide about LAW since that is a LIE.

  365. Never kill Cain! Moreover when there are more doubts than certainties that you're in front of Cain.

  366. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The death penalty is barbaric – and when guilt cannot be established beyond reasonable doubt, when so many are questioning the circumstances of Troy Davis’s conviction, will the State not be guilty themselves of criminal homicide if they refuse to listen?
    Stop the execution now.

  367. Please stop this execution. We don’t need another innocent death on the hand of this judicial system. The facts need to reviewed and more research and investigation needs to be done to make sure that the right person is convicted. Please consider the cry of the people!!

  368. If Law have to put a criminal to death then atleast take someone that there is prof that the person did a very bad crime. Let Breivik from Norway take Troy Davis place since that man killed a lot of kids just because of politic and that he is a racist. That would be better justice since he even are proud of his crime. So there is no way that Breivik will be a better man after some year in prison. Do the right thing. When it´s not prof that someone have done a crime. Then the person shall not have to die because of it. Troy Davis have to live

  369. troy davis:
    Ce pays est d’une hypocrisie total, on vie dans un monde de fou et cela ne changera jamais.
    Le juge est un putain de raciste, tout simplement !!
    On ne tue pas quelqu’un s’il ya doute et manque de preuve !!!

  370. Everybody deserves Life and no one deserves death penalty
    even he would be the murder, what i am not thinking, he shouldnt be executed because its not right to take away someones Life ! so please let him be free of that and free of execution and focus every doubt and take it seriously and let Him be a FrEE Man in the Love of God. Jesus be with him. (#)

  371. wow, i heard about this on the news the other day and was just reading up on it. and looked more into it and by reading the story more and looking at a number of comments, i just have a gut feeling in my stomach that this is an innocent man. I am not against the death penalty don’t get me wrong but like they say, if there’s any doubt and it seems from what i’ve been reading it is A LOT then don’t execute. i hope he pulls through this reminds me of True Crime with Clint Eastwood.

  372. If this is carried out, how will we ever listen again with straight face to “lessons” given in Jury Duty? I remember the concept of reasonable doubt, it was taught very well…this is a insult to anyone who ever took the process seriously.

  373. Please hault the execution of Troy Davis. TOO much doubt exist for it to be proven beyond a REASONABLE doubt that Davis is to be sent to death row. If anything, life in jail is sufficient. It cost far more to execute than to let him serve life in jail.

  374. Pa touye (do not kill) Troy Davis i don't know him. He is a living thing in the human category. No human decided to give him life. His death will not be used to keep some other living alive (food).

  375. i really do feel sorry for the policeman’s family. no doubt he was(is) a very special person and they do miss him alot. but please, open your eyes leaders and the family. do you really want this innocent man’s blood on your hand? how would you feel, lf he was your son and you know he is innocent?

  376. Stop this before it's too late. They do not have any right to kill a innocent man, they need more evidence that it was him before they excute him. They need to think long and hard about what they are doing to this Man and how much upset and damage they can cause. People have the right to speak up and say what they wish. Speak up don't allow an innocent man to die.

  377. This disastrous miscarriage of justice will just be another on 10s of 1000s in the last 100 years, one I would have thought we got past. One day, someone in the murdered man's family will discover the work of Tim Field (uk), Prof John Clarke (aust), Namie (usa), E Field (aust), and dozens more on how incompetent puyblic services with dull and psychpathic elemnts buried within manage to fool tribunals and judges into a conviction by "swarming" or "mobbing". The adjudicators are incapable of backpedaling at the risk of being labeled fools, when really its simply that they have not turned their mind to understanding the evil of "mobbing". The relative will get a chill in their spine as they realise how the wife jumped to first impression conclusions and how impassive adjudicators failed her and this poor man Troy Davis. Shame America. No death sentence in Oz.

  378. Killing Troy Davis won't bring back the policeman's wife his husband.

    But, if it is proved that Troy is innocent after being killed, who is going to bring him back to life?

  379. has it gotten to the point where the justice system does not need a reason to kill people? i think we should all be a little afraid. this could have easily been either one of us or our children. and to think you pay them a hefty salary, and they hand out so much injustice. they are laughing all the way to the bank with your money. you and yours mean nothing to these leaders, and you elected rhem.

  380. Here is information which could help. Call THIS judge: II RT @TheChicBa rber: @JoiGilliam DA can't withdraw the death warrant, but Judge Penny Freesemann can: 912.652.7252. Call now. #TROYDAVIS

  381. While there is a doubt about the reliability of the witnesses and therefore doubt about this mans guilt it cannot be justified to destroy his life also. What has happened cannot be undone and if he is not innocent he is not in a position to do anyone further harm, he should not and cannot justifiably be killed while doubts cloud his verdict. He must be given clemency until sufficient evidence is provided without out pride, saving face and revenge prevailing.

    Its it shocking that this revolting practice masquerading as a fair judicial punishment system still exists.

  382. This is outrageous!

    What kind of court system is this? I don’t understand how these executers can sleep at night. One have to believe that they are criminals themselves! This would never happen i Europe except if the court is corrupt. Maybe it is?

    We are many who watch you from all over the world and we will keep fighting for justice until it happens. This is insane

    Remember, there is a day when we all have to deal with our actions. I wouldn’t like to be you (the executers) on this day…

  383. Free Troy Davis. Do not kill this innocent man. And abolish the death penalty altogether!

  384. No more innocent’s blood for your hungry eyes!!! Reconsider before it’s too late! HALT the execution now! The whole World is watching you, please give Troy Davies a chance!

  385. Please stop the execution of this man! Why would you want to kill a man that evidence and testimony’s are showing quite possibly is innocent. It makes no sense. GRANT HIM CLEMENCY AND DONT KILL THIS MAN FOR SOMETHING HE DID NOT DO.

  386. It is so obvious why you don't want to stop this, in the face of mounting evidence that the conviction was unsafe.
    He'd have a just claim, wouldn't he? He'd be able to sue for wrongful conviction, and wrongful imprisonment.
    Truth is, you'd rather execute an innocent man, than risk having to pay for your mistake.

  387. The death penalty has nothing to recommend it and should be aboliished once and for all. Let put our time,effort and money into reforming the societal structures that create crime in the first place and by improving the situation of those most disadvantaged in our society.

  388. Let Troy Davis free, give back his life to this innocent man!
    Death penalty in 2011 is a shame, after all the innocents killed unfairly, what's the gouvernment waiting for to make that horror stop?!!!!! it's so wrong.
    let's be together to abolish this act of babarism.
    Praying for you and your family Troy.

  389. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  390. I believe Troy Davis is innocent! There is no concrete evidence that he is the killer!!! I feel this case should be re examined before an innocent man is brought to death!! There are too many holes in this case!!! Don't do this!!

  391. The risk that an innocent man may be executed here is too great a risk. Rick Perry may take pride in executing other human beings, but as Americans we must stop this barbaric act and stand together to say, "No more!"

  392. Please don’t go through with the execution of Troy Davis. We are not a nation of thoughtless killers.

  393. It's time to do what is right and grant clemency to Troy Davis. Taking away this man's life is wrong. There is less than twelve hours to give him justice!

  394. Stop the maddness, executing Troy Davis is murder ! not justice. The death penalty should only be used in extreme cases and There should be absolutely no doubt at all about who the "offender" is and no doubt at all that the person up for execution is guilty. This is so wrong ! It makes me sick knowing that they're doing this and it makes me even angrier knowing that the USA does it all the time. GET IT SORTED ! ——– Don't MURDER Troy Davis

  395. Funny that he was charged and convicted in a shooting at a party earlier the same day and no one is challenging that conviction. Also the same shell casings that were found at the party shooting were found at the scene where the police officer was shot. Hmm. If the witnesses that have come forward to change thier testimony were charged with perjury I wonder if they would reconsider changing thier testimony again.

  396. I can't understand why judges are allowed to play god!?!
    And how can a human being live with the thought, that he executed someone…and that the person he killed (because there is no difference) by judging him may be innocent???
    In my eyes those judges are murderers…what do they feel? Do they really think the do right? I think that some of the judges would be good murderers if they had other jobs.
    EXECUTION IS MURDER!

  397. STOP THE EXECUTION! THIS IS MURDER! WHAT DID HE DO? NOTHING.

    IF THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE, THEN WE SHOULD BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO ADMIT WE ARE WRONG AND FREE HIM!

    THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY INNOCENT. TWO PEOPLE SAYING "Cha, datz tha guy" IS NEITHER PROOF OF MURDER NOR A REASONABLE TRIAL!!!

    STOP THE EXECUTION!!

  398. you must commute this sentence to life at the very least
    do not put to death an innocent man
    do not have blood on your hands like many of those you judge do

  399. Stop the barabarian execution of a innocent man!
    Im wtiring to you from Sweden, Please dont take this mans life away! The states should be a country where it has to be prooven that you have committed a crime, this is NOT Iran be human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  400. PLEASE SPARE THIS MAN, AUTHORITIES PLEASE DNT EXECUTE ANOTHER INNOCENT MAN JUST TO PROVE A POINT TO THE VICTIMS FAMILY THT U GUYS HAVE FOUND SOMEONE TO TAKE THE RAP FOR, TO MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN INNOCENT PEOLE GO TO JAIL FOR DECADES JUST T OFIND OUT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT YEARS LATER, GOD PLEASE SPARE HIS SOUL…

  401. Please take the time to get more evidence before you execute an innocent man!

    Please STOP THE EXECUTION

  402. How can you justify taking this man's life when there is so much doubt around his guilt… Leave the judging up to God and spare this man's life! Otherwise tonight there will be another murder committed!

  403. Please get the facts before killing this man. If he is guilty, justice should prevail, but I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight thinking that I was responsible for his death when I wasn't 100% sure he did.

    What happened to having to prove without a shadow of a doubt that they are guilty?

    Just curious….don't expect to get a reply.

  404. Epictetus once wrote that: people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

    Denying a potentially innocent man of all these is unjustifiable

  405. Shame on you !! YOU are killers !!! Even if he is guilty nobody have the right to kill another men.

  406. He who hath not sinned, cast thy first stone!!!!!!!!! IN THE MERCIFUL AND ALL POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS PROTECT TROY FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA!!! To all involved in sending this man to such a fate, and yes even to the family of the victim, may God have mercy on your souls come judgement day!!! The entire country should be ashamed. 🙁

  407. stop the governmental murder of troy davis and any other prisoners in america.
    shame on the damned u.s.a.
    shame on georgia, the state of no homo sapiens.
    everyone, who is involved to this illegal murder should be damned.
    the u.s.a. is a state of state-terrorism within and outside. all human rights are nothing worth there – only the white, the rich and the uneducated politicians can do what they want.
    where are the intelligent inhabitants? there are no one. all the wealthy loud-mouthed “vip’s” – f… you all.
    damn to the alibi-black obama, who is sending innocent people like troy davis quite aware to death. obama is the true murderer.

  408. I am disturbed and doubtful when the main ( in fact, the only) evidence on which this verdict rests is that of eye witnesses, Eye witness testimony has been shown in many different studies over many years to be very unreliable, even when the eye witnesses are completely certain what they saw. Eye witnesses who contradict themselves and each other indicates to me there is more than reasonable doubt,
    In addition, at least one of the eye witnesses is also a suspect himself or would be if this conviction were over turned.
    As many have said execution is irreversible. Justice is not served when an injustice is committed in its name.

  409. stop this madness! there is not enough evidence to take away this mans life! innocent blood need’nt be spilt on anybodies hands! stop now and hear the pleading of all of troys supporters, surely you can see that what you are doing is wrong?!

  410. Many doubts, many inconsistencies!
    And you want to take away from Troy’s life! How will you live after that? I’m against it!!

  411. Please reconsider and stop the execution of Troy Davis. It is in your hands and you must be honest with yourself. This will forever be on your conscious.
    It is obvious that there is doubt and that is all that is needed to stop this.

  412. The decision to kill an innocent man is against the law and aside from that God does not like ugly , karma will come back around to you law enforcers in the state of Georgia and you don't realize it can hit your children and family and you will suffer the same pain Troy is going to experience. Give Troy Davis justice, we are all innocent until proven guilty. He is in my prayers.

  413. Please STOP the execution! We are with you TROY DAVIS , you are NOT ALONE! We pray for you. GOD BLESS

  414. American authority are just racist criminal murder. To take decision to a death penality request absolutely DNA and more. All the country with death penality are more bad than Hitler, Ben Laden, etc…

  415. Do NOT kill Troy Davis…. there is to mouch doubt….
    Bitte bringen Sie Troy Davis nicht um!!!!!!…. Die Todesstrafe ist FALSCH!!!!!

  416. Totaly insane if it´s true what some idiot write here before that Troy have to prof that he is innocent and that the fact is about a white T-shirt??????????? There is lot of people that use white T-shirt and can be able to be in the wrong place. Shall a Law system put all of us to death??? Because we are not able to prof that we are innocent since we use that stupid T-shirt??????
    Fine then put a law that it is a crime to use white T-shirt then since that is more important to the Law system then DNA and Crime weapons. That all people have to prof they are innocent. Instead of the law to prof they have done a crime. Then kill all of us. Or do what is right. Free Troy Davis NOW since you can´t prof he did the crime

  417. To the State of Georgia-

    The case against Troy Davis is in tatters, and it is clear that he should not die for a crime, it seems he did not commit. Please do the right thing and stop this next killing.

    It takes strength to admit when one is wrong, and there is no shame in it; only the pride to be had in saving a man's life.

    What would Jesus do?

  418. The decision to kill an INNOCENT man is a TRAVESTY to our so called judicial system! SHAME on you Georgia Parole Board!!! The fact ALONE that 7 out of 9 witnesses CHANGED their testimony is reason to STOP the execution and do an investigation! IF it were YOUR Son, you would want the SAME thing done! Please take the time to get more evidence before you execute an innocent man!

    Please STOP THE EXECUTION!!!

  419. correct myself it was not white T-shirt it was ” a White Shirt” that is something even the people in court use to have. Or people that work in office. Stop this madness. Let Troy Davis be free

  420. I am not a citizen of "Gods own country", I am just one of those european dorks and I wonder why so many people use the word "please" where it should be "I demand".

    The parole board DOES speak and act on behalf of the American people and it makes decisions that concern the human RIGHTS of an American citizen – Troy Davis. There is no need to beg this board, there is need for DEMANDING that they guarantee the rights of Troy Davis which is a new trial.

    It's not the parole board that will kill a human being, it are those millions american citizens who do NOT write their demands on card boards and camp outside the parole boards office, those, who don't realize that each of them could be the next Troy Davis – or his sister, mother, father.

    My heart breaks when I try to imagine the cruel pain and horror Troy and his family have to endure these days. My hope and thoughts are with them!

  421. STOP !!! This is madness ! There is too much doubt to convict a possibly innocent man. If this execution proceeds to happen.. Then what faith will we have in the justice system? Or even man-kind…

  422. Murder is wrong, no matter if the law sayits justifyable. This man never should have been convicted, let alone sentenced to death.

  423. TROY DAVIS IS INNOCENT.

    No sane person could possibly authorise this execution given the facts that are available.

    It is clear that the FACTS support 99% certainty that this man is innocent.

    I call upon all those involved in this terrible miscarriage of justice to search their hearts and their conscience and find the courage to do the right thing.

    No effort must be spared by anyone to prevent what is no less than pre-meditated murder, which is, incidentally, a crime much worse than the one Troy Davis is accused of and of which, based on the facts, he is INNOCENT.

    In the Neurenberg trials, following orders was not an excuse for commiting atrocities. The same applies to following 'procedures'.

    Everyone who participates in this horror, if it goes ahead, is commiting an atrocity in FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACTS, and unlike Troy Davis, they will have blood on their hands.

  424. So you the man in white shirt at court or wherever you sit that decide that Troy Davis shall die. Why`? The only prof you have of the murderer in the White shirt is yourself. Since YOU are the one that planning to murder an innocent man. There is not enough prof to bind Troy Davis to the crime. Then he is innocent until YOU in the white shirt can prof he have done the crime. When you not are able to prof he have done the crime. and YOU in the white shirt put him to death. It´s YOU that are the criminal and stop hide about LAW since that is a LIE.

  425. Never kill Cain! Moreover when there are more doubts than certainties that you’re in front of Cain.

  426. The execution of Troy Davis would be a travesty. The United States is one of the last so-called civilised societies in the world that maintains the belief that a barbaric, antiquated and hugely expensive system of captial punishment acts as a deterent. Violence, whether state sanctioned or not, simply begets more violence. The huge number of flaws in this case will almost lead to a grave miscarriage of justice, ironically, even if Troy Davis is guilty of the crime of which he is accused. This is of course if capital punishment can ever be percieved to be justice! This man has been on death row for twenty years, what harm can come from trying to defintively trying to establish that he is guilty of this crime even if that takes another 10 years? He is, after all, no danger to society as he is incarcerated. Come on US! Stop this act of judicial revenge, drag yourself into the 21st century and set yourself apart from the likes of North Korea and Iran whose human rights records even the US criticise. Quash this conviction and order an immediate retrial!

  427. In the past we have sent people to death row that was innocent, please do not kill Mr. Davis. There is a doult there and by law he must be given another day in court. Lets look at the information now given to the court.
    1. question Would it hurt to give him a other day in court.
    or
    Find out later we put a man to death and he had not comment that crime.
    Do the right thing please

  428. If Law have to put a criminal to death then atleast take someone that there is prof that the person did a very bad crime. Let Breivik from Norway take Troy Davis place since that man killed a lot of kids just because of politic and that he is a racist. That would be better justice since he even are proud of his crime. So there is no way that Breivik will be a better man after some year in prison. Do the right thing. When it´s not prof that someone have done a crime. Then the person shall not have to die because of it. Troy Davis have to live

  429. HOW CAN YOU EXECUTE TROY DAVIS WHEN THE EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES ARE PROCLAIMING THAT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL IS THE TRUE CRIMINAL..DON'T EXECUTE A POSSIBLY INNOCENT MAN..ONLY THE SUPREME BEING CAN BE JUDGE,JURY AND EXECUTIONER..

  430. Please do not execute Troy Davis, there is not enough proof, it is appalling that he should be executed for something he potentially has not done. Please re-consider.

  431. As I understand it, in an August 2010 decision, the conviction was upheld, with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia declaring that the new evidence cast only "minimal doubt on his conviction".

    If this is true, Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles is duty-bound by law to give Troy Davis clemency. To go ahead with the execution is MURDER plain and simple. Shame on you Georgia. Shame on you America.

  432. troy davis:
    Ce pays est d’une hypocrisie total, on vie dans un monde de fou et cela ne changera jamais.
    Le juge est un putain de raciste, tout simplement !!
    On ne tue pas quelqu’un s’il ya doute et manque de preuve !!!

  433. Please reconsider this execution. If there is even the slightest possibility that this man is innocent it wuold be a grave miscarriage of justice. Please, at least take the time to stop and take an impartial look at the evidence. You Americans claim to be world leaders, showing the rest of the world the way…. american justice is supposed to be about justice, not revenge and in this case it just may be revenge on the wrong man.

  434. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. STOP! THINK! ALL IT TAKES IS LOVE AND COMPASSION. DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS TODAY. THERE IS CLEARLY REASONABLE DOUBT AND NO CAUSE TO DESTROY THE UNREPAIRABLE.

  435. Pa touye (do not kill) Troy Davis i don’t know him. He is a living thing in the human category. No human decided to give him life. His death will not be used to keep some other living alive (food).

  436. If there is no reason to kill, why to do so?

    Please, acknowledge justice is made to bring a balance to life, not to create the doubt of it.

  437. Stop this before it’s too late. They do not have any right to kill a innocent man, they need more evidence that it was him before they excute him. They need to think long and hard about what they are doing to this Man and how much upset and damage they can cause. People have the right to speak up and say what they wish. Speak up don’t allow an innocent man to die.

  438. This disastrous miscarriage of justice will just be another on 10s of 1000s in the last 100 years, one I would have thought we got past. One day, someone in the murdered man’s family will discover the work of Tim Field (uk), Prof John Clarke (aust), Namie (usa), E Field (aust), and dozens more on how incompetent puyblic services with dull and psychpathic elemnts buried within manage to fool tribunals and judges into a conviction by “swarming” or “mobbing”. The adjudicators are incapable of backpedaling at the risk of being labeled fools, when really its simply that they have not turned their mind to understanding the evil of “mobbing”. The relative will get a chill in their spine as they realise how the wife jumped to first impression conclusions and how impassive adjudicators failed her and this poor man Troy Davis. Shame America. No death sentence in Oz.

  439. Please consider the truth of this case. Shine a light into the darkness and know that it is unjust to execute one who cannot be proved guilty of the crime. Circumstantial evidence is not proof of guilt.

  440. Killing Troy Davis won’t bring back the policeman’s wife his husband.

    But, if it is proved that Troy is innocent after being killed, who is going to bring him back to life?

  441. How can thousands of voices not being heard? This is wrong, please stop the execution! My heart goes out to Troy and his family.

  442. It's amazing how cold people are in these times..stop playing god let Troy Davis live..Everybody who said go ahead with it i wonder where you will be spending eternity…

  443. Many folks have made statements, judgement, God will make the final call. I Pray this day that God will make a statement on Troy Davis behalf.
    Its amazing how so many people have over looked the man who died a few years ago by a bullet!
    Its amazing how so many people are willing to take another mans life in spite of how he claims he is not the one who pulled the trigger.

    Its amazing!

    Think long and hard, how Amazing it would be if man would fight for the way God wants us to live like we are fighting for this mans life to be spared.

    Its amazing!

    Give it to the Lord, fall down on your knees and ask God to forgive you of your sins.. Now walk in the will of God.

    Its an amazing feeling when you are Blessed by God

  444. The US must stop all further criticisms of Iran's injustices and Iran's executions!
    The US has lost all moral authority! The US is showing by its barbarity of executing innocent people that it has no moral voice to criticise Iran or China on their executions. The US should now be quiet about other injustices around the world, because it executes innocent members of the public, just to appease the understandable vengeance of the murder victim's family and the police. The US has lost all moral authority by executing innocent people just to be 'seen' to punish…somone…for the crime! Leaders who condone executing the innocent will have the blood of the executed upon their heads and will be judged not only in this world but by God. A nation's civilisation and morality is judged by how it treats its individual citizens with Truth and Justice. This case is based upon Lies and coerced testimonies, with no physical evidence and has no basis upon which to execute anyone!

  445. So by the facts in this story, the innocent man who is to be executed shortly for a crime he did Not commit, is to take the punishment for a man who is free, who did commit the crime?? Some justice system in the US !!! Better to be in a civilised country than a country of executing the innocent!

  446. T H E R E I S a GOD in Heaven – HE sees all things done not right.
    If Troy Davis is innocent – and he´ll have to die – what will happen with such people who decide his death? They will meet their Judge in Heaven.
    THEY HAVE TO DECIDE I N D O U B T F O R T H E A C C U S E D !!!

  447. Use your common sense! If there is too much doubt, how can they possibly proceed with this? There will be no justice served, and an innocent man will be murdered! If it is in the name of the people then listen what the people have to say! Stop the execution, bring the true murderer to trial! Stop the execution of Troy Davis.

  448. Incredibly and unbelievably sad that we live in a country where it's ok for the state to carry out its premeditated murders without physical evidence. Has Troy's lawyers appealed to Obama? Can he stop this insanity?

  449. Stop !Stop ! Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt. Georgia Must Not Execute Troy Davis. Ce serait une honte pour les USA, pays que j'adore, un des berceaux des valeurs occidentales que nous chérissons. Que Dieu nous entende et le protège.

  450. Tueurs à votre tour… Cela ne s'arrêtera donc pas…
    Les preuves, où donc sont -elles ?
    Pauvre homme, j'ai mal pour lui et me sens bien incapable face à cette horreur. Arrêtons cela, les heures qu'on lui fait vivre ne sont pas pensables. Comment pouvons-nous agir de la sorte. J'ai l'impression que l'on m'arrache le coeur en pensant à lui. Mais lui ? Comment ne pas devenir dingue en sachant tout ce qu'il va arriver ? Qui, quelles sont les personnes qui peuvent prendre de telles décisions ? et surtout de quel droit ?
    Je ne sais plus quoi ajouter, j'aimerais tellement pouvoir faire quelque chose…

  451. "And justice for some"…..Do not execute Troy Anthony Davis! Free him! Justice is definitely blind!!!

  452. Everyone knows that you cant convict a man guilty without true evidence. If these witnesses changed their story from the first time then how can you use them as a credible source. There are also nine other witnesses who sai that it was not troy but a different man. I dont understand how they can do this with no true evidence. This is so wrong. W NEED TO STOP THEM FROM KILLING AN INNOCANT MAN! The death penalty, in my opinion should stay intact, but for serious serial killers, with a ton of evidemce prooving it is them, unlike this case. SAVE TROY DAVIS!

  453. The murder of Troy Davis will not be stopped no matter if he is innocent or not. This due to the fact that American government never will allow them self to give in to what the man in the street claims. For them that is showing weakness. They want to believe they are strong, the strongest there is, in fact. But a belief is not always a fact.

    They claim that justice is blind, but I can tell that justice is not blind, she have just covered her eyes.

    I do not know if this man is innocent or not. All I know is that one can not prove that he is the murder of the Police officer 20 years ago. However, I cant care less, how brutal that may sound, but case is that there is no circumstances where we could justifies our self to become murderess as well.

    I know, we have cases where one can be 100% sure of other peoples evilness, Like Hitler, The Norwegian terrorist Brevik and others and one may wish to take these peoples life. But I will never allow my self to become one of them. But I will fight them, oh yes, indeed, and fight against all what they may stand for.Lock them up, yes I will as long as they are a threat to me and my family, but never take their life. Why? because you can never know for 100% that they never will change.

    You may like my statement or hate it, you may find it ridiculous and inconsistent, you are welcome, but I have stretched the boundary which I will never trespass.

    Save Troy Davis

  454. While there is a doubt about the reliability of the witnesses and therefore doubt about this mans guilt it cannot be justified to destroy his life also. What has happened cannot be undone and if he is not innocent he is not in a position to do anyone further harm, he should not and cannot justifiably be killed while doubts cloud his verdict. He must be given clemency until sufficient evidence is provided without out pride, saving face and revenge prevailing.

    Its it shocking that this revolting practice masquerading as a fair judicial punishment system still exists.

  455. Faire "justice" après plus de vingt années de peine purgée en tôle alors que le doute subsiste…
    Une justice avec des relents de vengeance, une bible dans une main, un flingue dans l'autre!
    Quelle tristesse…

  456. Free Troy Davis. Do not kill this innocent man. And abolish the death penalty altogether!

  457. It's my hope that reason prevails here but unfortunately that may not be the case. I find it hard to believe that with so many doubts, someone could be put to death. An explanation should be given to the hundreds of thousands who have spoken out. ~Many blessings to Troy Davis~

  458. STOP THE EXECUTION!!!! There is too much doubt in this case and executing a possibly innocent man means the REAL murder suspect still walks the streets. Put yourself in Troy Davis' position, or even his family's position and think about how would you feel. The decision you are making is a big mistake! You will carry a lot of weight on your shoulders for the rest your life if you find out later on down the line that Troy Davis was innocent. This would not be a good thing. Your decisions will the no longer trusted and Georgia's State Board will be looked down on. Please, do the right thing, DO NOT execute this man without having substantial evidence that he is indeed the man that committed this murder. DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS!! YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MAKE A DECISION TO PUT THE POSSIBLY INNOCENT TO DEATH. ARE YOU HUMAN??!! IF YOU EXECUTE TROY DAVIS, YOU ALL ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE ACTUAL MURDER SUSPECT!!!

  459. It is so obvious why you don’t want to stop this, in the face of mounting evidence that the conviction was unsafe.
    He’d have a just claim, wouldn’t he? He’d be able to sue for wrongful conviction, and wrongful imprisonment.
    Truth is, you’d rather execute an innocent man, than risk having to pay for your mistake.

  460. It is my hope that reason, logic and justice moves the hearts and minds of those who are in power to save this man life. We weren't able to save Snookie but we have the opportunity to save Troy Davis. We can discuss the failure of the national government and the failure of American foreign policies, however here is an opportunity for individuals to make a local change. Here, individuals can decide to stand up for justice and save at least one life.

  461. I'm not against the death penalty, but no one should ever be executed if there is even an OUNCE of doubt as to the guilt of the accused. Troy Davis should be granted clemency immediately!

  462. T IMPACT INNOCENT PEOPLE>Stop the execution..The system needs to stop denying it's wrong doing when it is evident they were WRONG…This is more self evident in testimony to the level of arrogance of racists that permeates our political, judicial and society in this so called country of freedom and democracy. I salute the power of the people to change this mindset where it is needed and GET RID OF THOSE IN POWER WHO MAKE SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE DECISIONS.!!!!! SAVE TROY DAVIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  463. In my opinion, this execution must mark a turning point, in which all who are genuinely concerned about truth, justice and compassion, must unite to press for the setting up of an International body recognised by the whole world, to examine EVERY case of execution and have the right of access to the information that was available to the courts plus other valid information, including information not allowed by the courts. Each case should be examined to a greater of lesser extent, to sift through those which are likely to be cases where an innocent person has been executed. The body must be capable of prosecuting those who are guilty of miscarriages of justice and bringing them to court to face charges of manslaughter or in some cases murder. All cases where an innocent person has been executed must be openly publicised and the innocent executed exhonerated from the crime. Countries whose justice systems are executing the innocent should be brought to the United Nations and their injustice publicly Disgraced. Compensation must also be demanded to be paid to the families of the inncently executed. It is long past time when something like this was put into place. The US will join the list of countries whose injustice is disgraced along the ranks of Iran, China and North Korea.

  464. Let Troy Davis free, give back his life to this innocent man!
    Death penalty in 2011 is a shame, after all the innocents killed unfairly, what’s the gouvernment waiting for to make that horror stop?!!!!! it’s so wrong.
    let’s be together to abolish this act of babarism.
    Praying for you and your family Troy.

  465. Doubt or no doubt, a system for executing people should never exist. No boday has the right to take away life. Are the American people paying for executions through tax? How are prisons and death row funded? End the death penalty.

  466. Here is information which could help. Call THIS judge: II RT @TheChicBa rber: @JoiGilliam DA can’t withdraw the death warrant, but Judge Penny Freesemann can: 912.652.7252. Call now. #TROYDAVIS

  467. I believe Troy Davis is innocent! There is no concrete evidence that he is the killer!!! I feel this case should be re examined before an innocent man is brought to death!! There are too many holes in this case!!! Don’t do this!!

  468. The risk that an innocent man may be executed here is too great a risk. Rick Perry may take pride in executing other human beings, but as Americans we must stop this barbaric act and stand together to say, “No more!”

  469. I pray that this execution is halted indefinitely as their is too much doubt. With such doubt, I don't see how could anyone uphold this.

  470. Clemency for Troy Davis. Killing an innocent man will not draw closure. Murder is never the way.

  471. Clemency for Troy Davis. Killing an innocent man will not draw closure. Murder is never the way. God bless his soul.

  472. Really? We dont know if he is guilty for sure and we are about to put him to death.. Really?? have we came to such a low point we will kill an maybe INNOCENT man??????? We are america people they say we are the leaders of the would do we really want to be this kind of leader?

  473. It’s time to do what is right and grant clemency to Troy Davis. Taking away this man’s life is wrong. There is less than twelve hours to give him justice!

  474. Stop the maddness, executing Troy Davis is murder ! not justice. The death penalty should only be used in extreme cases and There should be absolutely no doubt at all about who the “offender” is and no doubt at all that the person up for execution is guilty. This is so wrong ! It makes me sick knowing that they’re doing this and it makes me even angrier knowing that the USA does it all the time. GET IT SORTED ! ——– Don’t MURDER Troy Davis

  475. Do not execute this man…is tgere is reasonable doubt which there is mre than enuf for a mistrial. This is a life that if innocent has already been stripped of 20 that cannot be given back…postpone and launch anew investigation…dnt kill TROY DAVIS…

    TROY U R IN MY PRAYERS

  476. How are you excuting someone that there is doubt. How can you live with yourselves. Remember God is watching. United States tries to represent doing the right thing. Lets start. The justice system is messed up and not right. Stop this death and do further investigation in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

  477. Funny that he was charged and convicted in a shooting at a party earlier the same day and no one is challenging that conviction. Also the same shell casings that were found at the party shooting were found at the scene where the police officer was shot. Hmm. If the witnesses that have come forward to change thier testimony were charged with perjury I wonder if they would reconsider changing thier testimony again.

  478. I can’t understand why judges are allowed to play god!?!
    And how can a human being live with the thought, that he executed someone…and that the person he killed (because there is no difference) by judging him may be innocent???
    In my eyes those judges are murderers…what do they feel? Do they really think the do right? I think that some of the judges would be good murderers if they had other jobs.
    EXECUTION IS MURDER!

  479. STOP THE EXECUTION! THIS IS MURDER! WHAT DID HE DO? NOTHING.

    IF THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE, THEN WE SHOULD BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO ADMIT WE ARE WRONG AND FREE HIM!

    THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY INNOCENT. TWO PEOPLE SAYING “Cha, datz tha guy” IS NEITHER PROOF OF MURDER NOR A REASONABLE TRIAL!!!

    STOP THE EXECUTION!!

  480. PLEASE SPARE THIS MAN, AUTHORITIES PLEASE DNT EXECUTE ANOTHER INNOCENT MAN JUST TO PROVE A POINT TO THE VICTIMS FAMILY THT U GUYS HAVE FOUND SOMEONE TO TAKE THE RAP FOR, TO MANY TIMES I’VE SEEN INNOCENT PEOLE GO TO JAIL FOR DECADES JUST T OFIND OUT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT YEARS LATER, GOD PLEASE SPARE HIS SOUL…

  481. Please take the time to get more evidence before you execute an innocent man!

    Please STOP THE EXECUTION

  482. How can you justify taking this man’s life when there is so much doubt around his guilt… Leave the judging up to God and spare this man’s life! Otherwise tonight there will be another murder committed!

  483. I see only WHITE people are granted clemency and its a damn shame.. NO MATTER HOW MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS LIVE IN THE SOUTH IT WILL STILL BE A WHITE MANS HELL HOLE…HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A former Army recruiter who for the third time this year was hours away from his scheduled execution for the rape-slaying of a woman in Fort Worth nearly 10 years ago was granted yet another reprieve by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
    Cleve Foster, 47, was set to die Tuesday evening in Huntsville.
    The high court twice earlier this year stopped Foster's scheduled lethal injection. The latest court ruling came about 2½ hours before Foster could have been taken to the Texas death chamber.
    Foster was meeting with one of his lawyers in a small holding cell a few feet from the death chamber when a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman delivered the news.
    "He thanked God and pointed to his attorney, saying this woman helped save his life," prison spokesman Jason Clark said.
    He also said Foster repeated his insistence that he was innocent.

  484. Please get the facts before killing this man. If he is guilty, justice should prevail, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight thinking that I was responsible for his death when I wasn’t 100% sure he did.

    What happened to having to prove without a shadow of a doubt that they are guilty?

    Just curious….don’t expect to get a reply.

  485. PLEASE do not excute Troy Davis. How can you when there is doubt???? The world is watching, the United States has the reputation of playing fair. Live up to it and do not allow this to happen. Support from the U.K.

  486. Epictetus once wrote that: people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

    Denying a potentially innocent man of all these is unjustifiable

  487. Shame on you !! YOU are killers !!! Even if he is guilty nobody have the right to kill another men.

  488. STOP THIS NONSENSE. Rather that to spend our tax $ on INNOCENT PEOPLE. DO YOUR JOB AND PROSECUTE THE RIGHT PERSON.
    STOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOP NOW

  489. Don't kill this men when there is so much doubt. The USA is always seen as a model for the rest of the world but with this kind of things I don't think that anybody should see the USA as a model. Please stop this now. Support from Spain.

  490. stop the execution of an innocent man !!!!!!! i am not even from the united states and i find this appalling beyond belief. there is #TOOMUCHDOUBT

  491. Please reconsider and stop the execution of Troy Davis. It is in your hands and you must be honest with yourself. This will forever be on your conscious.
    It is obvious that there is doubt and that is all that is needed to stop this.

  492. The decision to kill an innocent man is against the law and aside from that God does not like ugly , karma will come back around to you law enforcers in the state of Georgia and you don’t realize it can hit your children and family and you will suffer the same pain Troy is going to experience. Give Troy Davis justice, we are all innocent until proven guilty. He is in my prayers.

  493. This is man's life, a man who already served years. Why is death needed to provide justice, when the issue of his guilt has too many doubts surrounding it? It's not justice at all, it's just wrong. Please, set him free!

  494. STOP THIS EXECUTION! this man has not been proven guilty for certain and it is breaking so many of hid rights it is not fair. if u know what is good for human rights dont do it. look at how many people say no yet u ignore them? what is becoming of this world…

  495. Do NOT kill Troy Davis…. there is to mouch doubt….
    Bitte bringen Sie Troy Davis nicht um!!!!!!…. Die Todesstrafe ist FALSCH!!!!!

  496. To the State of Georgia-

    The case against Troy Davis is in tatters, and it is clear that he should not die for a crime, it seems he did not commit. Please do the right thing and stop this next killing.

    It takes strength to admit when one is wrong, and there is no shame in it; only the pride to be had in saving a man’s life.

    What would Jesus do?

  497. If one of the witnesses was illiterate, how can he sign a witness statement… how can there not be reasonable doubt in this case?

  498. The decision to kill an INNOCENT man is a TRAVESTY to our so called judicial system! SHAME on you Georgia Parole Board!!! The fact ALONE that 7 out of 9 witnesses CHANGED their testimony is reason to STOP the execution and do an investigation! IF it were YOUR Son, you would want the SAME thing done! Please take the time to get more evidence before you execute an innocent man!

    Please STOP THE EXECUTION!!!

  499. Now hear me! My ancestors were from Georgia and fought in 2 wars. We're tough people. They are rolling over in their graves. This is not the country I love doing this to a likely innocent man. I am terribly upset. Years ago, when I was attacked in New Haven, the police brought me to try and identify my assailant. I saw a group of men but could not state conclusively. Later, they showed me several photographs. Even though one looked likely, I told the officer I wasn't about to send an innocent man to prison. I needed to be 100% certain and I wasn't. WE as a society do NOT have the right to KILL, period – let alone apply the death penalty without 100% surety. There is a higher authority to answer to even than legality – it's called morality. If you don't know what this means, re-read Plato, Sophocles and Aristotle.

  500. Where is Obama when you need him and what is his stand on that? I have no doubt that he would able to stop this execution if he wants too. Bush was able to override congress with weird executive orders in other issues. I bet there is a possibility for the US president to grant clemency in last minute and initiate a new trial. Write him on Facebook and twitter your tongue sore … we have a loud voice ….. stand up, be clear!

  501. I am not a citizen of “Gods own country”, I am just one of those european dorks and I wonder why so many people use the word “please” where it should be “I demand”.

    The parole board DOES speak and act on behalf of the American people and it makes decisions that concern the human RIGHTS of an American citizen – Troy Davis. There is no need to beg this board, there is need for DEMANDING that they guarantee the rights of Troy Davis which is a new trial.

    It’s not the parole board that will kill a human being, it are those millions american citizens who do NOT write their demands on card boards and camp outside the parole boards office, those, who don’t realize that each of them could be the next Troy Davis – or his sister, mother, father.

    My heart breaks when I try to imagine the cruel pain and horror Troy and his family have to endure these days. My hope and thoughts are with them!

  502. STOP !!! This is madness ! There is too much doubt to convict a possibly innocent man. If this execution proceeds to happen.. Then what faith will we have in the justice system? Or even man-kind…

  503. I see only WHITE people are granted clemency and its a damn shame.. NO MATTER HOW MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS LIVE IN THE SOUTH IT WILL STILL BE A WHITE MANS HELL HOLE…HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A former Army recruiter who for the third time this year was hours away from his scheduled execution for the rape-slaying of a woman in Fort Worth nearly 10 years ago was granted yet another reprieve by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

  505. Murder is wrong, no matter if the law sayits justifyable. This man never should have been convicted, let alone sentenced to death.

  506. It is chilling to the core that there is not enough of a shred of humanity in those with the power, to call off this grave injustice of executing a more than likely INNOCENT fellow human being. Truly hell is on this Earth. For those who sit back and let this horror take place, I pray for your souls, if indeed you are human and are in possession of one. I will never be convinced that a person with a conscience and a beating heart, who has known love could allow this to take place. This is pure evil. There is a dark agenda pushing politics in every area of our governments, and the time has come for the truth to be revealed. To those who sit idly by, you will surely have a price to pay for the blood of Troy Davis. May the Power of the heavens and Almighty God lay the truth out for all to see, and stir the powers that be toward clemency on this, World Peace Day.

  507. TROY DAVIS IS INNOCENT.

    No sane person could possibly authorise this execution given the facts that are available.

    It is clear that the FACTS support 99% certainty that this man is innocent.

    I call upon all those involved in this terrible miscarriage of justice to search their hearts and their conscience and find the courage to do the right thing.

    No effort must be spared by anyone to prevent what is no less than pre-meditated murder, which is, incidentally, a crime much worse than the one Troy Davis is accused of and of which, based on the facts, he is INNOCENT.

    In the Neurenberg trials, following orders was not an excuse for commiting atrocities. The same applies to following ‘procedures’.

    Everyone who participates in this horror, if it goes ahead, is commiting an atrocity in FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACTS, and unlike Troy Davis, they will have blood on their hands.

  508. Where is Obama when you need him and what is his stand on that?
    STOP THIS EXECUTION!
    this man has not been proven guilty for certain and it is breaking so many of hid rights it is not fair. I’m not against the death penalty, but no one should ever be executed if there is even an OUNCE of doubt as to the guilt of the accused. Troy Davis should be granted clemency immediately!

  509. The execution of Troy Davis would be a travesty. The United States is one of the last so-called civilised societies in the world that maintains the belief that a barbaric, antiquated and hugely expensive system of captial punishment acts as a deterent. Violence, whether state sanctioned or not, simply begets more violence. The huge number of flaws in this case will almost lead to a grave miscarriage of justice, ironically, even if Troy Davis is guilty of the crime of which he is accused. This is of course if capital punishment can ever be percieved to be justice! This man has been on death row for twenty years, what harm can come from trying to defintively trying to establish that he is guilty of this crime even if that takes another 10 years? He is, after all, no danger to society as he is incarcerated. Come on US! Stop this act of judicial revenge, drag yourself into the 21st century and set yourself apart from the likes of North Korea and Iran whose human rights records even the US criticise. Quash this conviction and order an immediate retrial!

  510. A call for Prayer
    As much as solidarity from fellow human beings is commendable, (may) I invite every single Christian to fall on ones knees to intercede for Troy Davis that his life be spared.

  511. If Troy Davis die that is a shame and all our voices get killed same time. We are Troy Davis, people that believe in innocent and want justice. Listen to the worlds voices. Let Troy Davis be free, His case is not over just because a innocent man die and the real murderer walks free. We all will remember how people in USA refuse to listen and kill innocent people. STOP THIS MADNESS NOW

  512. In today's justice system there HAS to be consistency across the board to determine the innocence of anyone. Not only in one state but across the United States. It's obvious there are a lot of inconsistencies when it comes to this case but in a matter where there ISN'T much evidence (the same reason why Casey Anthony was freed) this man has to be freed- grant him clemency.

    You have two jurors who even come back saying NO, DON'T EXECUTE this man. What does that say? What does that say to people who actually believe in fair trials, the jury system AND the judicial system.

    Corruption is at it's best here. I'm praying for this man, his family and the state of Georgia.

  513. I am a Business undergrad student and entrepreneur from New Jersey who has been following the news surrounding Troy Davis. I watched as the law wrongly placed an innocent man behind bars, taking years away from his life as a man to live in freedom. How can a city so deeply religious in Christian faith and have love for God can honestly stand by a horrible and wrong decision to take the life of an innocent man based on tainted views, angry cops who visibly seem bias and testimonies which have changed from each of the witness through out this case against Davis. You do not solve a life taken by taking the life of another . Even after a man confesses to the murder the District Attorney, Larry Chisel has yet to make an honorable and righteous decision to over turn Troy's death sentence . Those who support Troy will no doubt receive God's favor while those whose who continue to push to murder an innocent man will face God's wrath for the wicked deed they all have a hand in. Do the right thing Georgia, Grant Troy Davis Clemency before its too late……..

  514. In the past we have sent people to death row that was innocent, please do not kill Mr. Davis. There is a doult there and by law he must be given another day in court. Lets look at the information now given to the court.
    1. question Would it hurt to give him a other day in court.
    or
    Find out later we put a man to death and he had not comment that crime.
    Do the right thing please

  515. HOW CAN YOU EXECUTE TROY DAVIS WHEN THE EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES ARE PROCLAIMING THAT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL IS THE TRUE CRIMINAL..DON’T EXECUTE A POSSIBLY INNOCENT MAN..ONLY THE SUPREME BEING CAN BE JUDGE,JURY AND EXECUTIONER..

  516. As I understand it, in an August 2010 decision, the conviction was upheld, with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia declaring that the new evidence cast only “minimal doubt on his conviction”.

    If this is true, Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles is duty-bound by law to give Troy Davis clemency. To go ahead with the execution is MURDER plain and simple. Shame on you Georgia. Shame on you America.

  517. Um, I don't think anyone with the ability to stop the execution of Troy 'Cop Killing Nigger' Davis comes here. Stop crying. I am sure many of you put your hackneyed Desmond Tutu phrases here. The same Desmond Tutu whose wife Winnie liked executing political opponents with necklacing (Putting a burning tired on their necks until they were immolated). Sorry guys he did it, and he should have been executed on the spot, along with his entire family. Please make sure you delete/censor this comment as your side does not believe in listening to anyone else. You spend so much time defending murderers, maybe you are the problem. If we killed more of these pieces of garbage the second they assaulted someone, our world would be much more peaceful.

  518. Please reconsider this execution. If there is even the slightest possibility that this man is innocent it wuold be a grave miscarriage of justice. Please, at least take the time to stop and take an impartial look at the evidence. You Americans claim to be world leaders, showing the rest of the world the way…. american justice is supposed to be about justice, not revenge and in this case it just may be revenge on the wrong man.

  519. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis! Where is the justice of this coutry! You can't execute a man unless you prove him gulity beyond resonable doubt which is not the case!

  520. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. STOP! THINK! ALL IT TAKES IS LOVE AND COMPASSION. DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS TODAY. THERE IS CLEARLY REASONABLE DOUBT AND NO CAUSE TO DESTROY THE UNREPAIRABLE.

  521. I stand up against death penelty, people mustn't act as if they had no conciense, we got the choice to answer violence with love, even if he commited murder, this was not the way to deal with it! May peace prevail on earth!

  522. If there is no reason to kill, why to do so?

    Please, acknowledge justice is made to bring a balance to life, not to create the doubt of it.

  523. really comming to this again,running around lick chickens with our heads cut off making random decisions.I think they won't change their minds cause they don't feel like re-doing anything.Are we gonna have another Texa's faulse death penalty episode again(not saying this happened in Texas)

  524. I'm from the first country in the world that abolished the death penalty, Portugal. It is not obly wrong to kill another human and, in this case, there are too much doubts.
    I'm proud to say that in my country such unhumain acts are forbithen. PLease learn with us. We do not have more crime that in the USA and we don't kill people.

  525. To "Happy Giggles" if you are so smart? then why should not people with power be so smart so they go here and read? I am sure they have seen there is a problem with the case Troy Davis that People have something to say about it from all over the world. There can be miracles, when you believe… we are many that believes. In love. In GOD. In Justice. In peace.

  526. Stop this madness ! There are too much doubt. The gun was never found. And there are no prove that he is guilty. Please in name of humanity and peace. Don't kill an innocent man !

  527. Please consider the truth of this case. Shine a light into the darkness and know that it is unjust to execute one who cannot be proved guilty of the crime. Circumstantial evidence is not proof of guilt.

  528. I know Troy will never read this but if I could give him a message I'd tell him there's a legion of people behind him and we will be praying for him. Your death won't be in vein if even one person remembers your innocence. You have inspired at least one, and I believe many people.

  529. Please, even as times draws near, free this man. If there is doubt then you can not execute this man. No Shedding Of Innocent Blood. Wouldn't it make since to retry this man rather than kill a possible innocent person. How can it be easier to execute anyone who may be innocent.

  530. How can thousands of voices not being heard? This is wrong, please stop the execution! My heart goes out to Troy and his family.

  531. It’s amazing how cold people are in these times..stop playing god let Troy Davis live..Everybody who said go ahead with it i wonder where you will be spending eternity…

  532. Please , you can't kill a possible innocent person ! Where is the justice ?..
    Dear Troy, courage to you ! We'll never forget your courage .. Peace .

  533. Aujourd'hui, la parole portée par les USA est entendue lorsqu'elle défend les Droits de l'Homme. Stop à cette exécution qui anéantirait cet homme mais aussi l'image des USA dans le monde. Sauvez Troys Davis. Merci

    Today, the word brought by the United States is heard when defending human rights. Stop the execution that would destroy this man but America's image around the world. Save Troy Davis. thank you

  534. DO NOT DO THIS.

    WE WILL COLLECTIVELY PAY FOR HIS PRISON TIME WHILE FURTHER INVESTIGATION ENSUES.

    NO NEED TO TAKE YET ANOTHER LIFE IN AN ALREADY TRAGIC SITUATION.

  535. Many folks have made statements, judgement, God will make the final call. I Pray this day that God will make a statement on Troy Davis behalf.
    Its amazing how so many people have over looked the man who died a few years ago by a bullet!
    Its amazing how so many people are willing to take another mans life in spite of how he claims he is not the one who pulled the trigger.

    Its amazing!

    Think long and hard, how Amazing it would be if man would fight for the way God wants us to live like we are fighting for this mans life to be spared.

    Its amazing!

    Give it to the Lord, fall down on your knees and ask God to forgive you of your sins.. Now walk in the will of God.

    Its an amazing feeling when you are Blessed by God

  536. The US must stop all further criticisms of Iran’s injustices and Iran’s executions!
    The US has lost all moral authority! The US is showing by its barbarity of executing innocent people that it has no moral voice to criticise Iran or China on their executions. The US should now be quiet about other injustices around the world, because it executes innocent members of the public, just to appease the understandable vengeance of the murder victim’s family and the police. The US has lost all moral authority by executing innocent people just to be ‘seen’ to punish…somone…for the crime! Leaders who condone executing the innocent will have the blood of the executed upon their heads and will be judged not only in this world but by God. A nation’s civilisation and morality is judged by how it treats its individual citizens with Truth and Justice. This case is based upon Lies and coerced testimonies, with no physical evidence and has no basis upon which to execute anyone!

  537. Please do not put an innocent man to death when there is so much doubt. Where do we stand as humans? Do we not value life? GOD bless Troy Davis!!

  538. So by the facts in this story, the innocent man who is to be executed shortly for a crime he did Not commit, is to take the punishment for a man who is free, who did commit the crime?? Some justice system in the US !!! Better to be in a civilised country than a country of executing the innocent!

  539. T H E R E I S a GOD in Heaven – HE sees all things done not right.
    If Troy Davis is innocent – and he´ll have to die – what will happen with such people who decide his death? They will meet their Judge in Heaven.
    THEY HAVE TO DECIDE I N D O U B T F O R T H E A C C U S E D !!!

  540. As a criminal justice major if this is what we are going to do then I think I would just change. We are suppose to protect the innocent. And give them a fair trial without any question then this is not one of the time. Is that what the state is saying forgot about equal justices and the laws and just do this and wash their hands then I don't want to be apart of the hand washing process guilt will not be on my hands. Do the right thing for the justcie department and the people give he a stay and redo the trial.

  541. Use your common sense! If there is too much doubt, how can they possibly proceed with this? There will be no justice served, and an innocent man will be murdered! If it is in the name of the people then listen what the people have to say! Stop the execution, bring the true murderer to trial! Stop the execution of Troy Davis.

  542. Incredibly and unbelievably sad that we live in a country where it’s ok for the state to carry out its premeditated murders without physical evidence. Has Troy’s lawyers appealed to Obama? Can he stop this insanity?

  543. Stop !Stop ! Stop the execution of Troy Davis! There is too much doubt. Georgia Must Not Execute Troy Davis. Ce serait une honte pour les USA, pays que j’adore, un des berceaux des valeurs occidentales que nous chérissons. Que Dieu nous entende et le protège.

  544. You all know I am "outspoken" and
    that I don´t give a hoot about other opinions
    if they just cross my radar…

    Georgia, I learned.. is a religiously Christian state…
    So why don´t you just follow the Bible.. saying:-
    Donot do unto others what you don´t want done unto yourselves….

    I have convinced myself that Georgia has a differend GOD..
    Some entitiy which is much more than Allah….
    An eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth..

    And I got convinced that Georgia is not one of your 50 (Christian) states
    "Under God"….
    but one on "off shore"….. induced by Calvin !!

    Am I glad I´m not living on Stateside…. !! ´You figure why….

    From the GripeVine.. & Donah..//

  545. I can't belive it!
    I'm only fourteen years old but i know exactly wehen someone is inculpabel.
    This guy is inculpabel.

    I'll pray for Troy Davis…
    Hopefully it isn't to late…

  546. Tueurs à votre tour… Cela ne s’arrêtera donc pas…
    Les preuves, où donc sont -elles ?
    Pauvre homme, j’ai mal pour lui et me sens bien incapable face à cette horreur. Arrêtons cela, les heures qu’on lui fait vivre ne sont pas pensables. Comment pouvons-nous agir de la sorte. J’ai l’impression que l’on m’arrache le coeur en pensant à lui. Mais lui ? Comment ne pas devenir dingue en sachant tout ce qu’il va arriver ? Qui, quelles sont les personnes qui peuvent prendre de telles décisions ? et surtout de quel droit ?
    Je ne sais plus quoi ajouter, j’aimerais tellement pouvoir faire quelque chose…

  547. Nobody is interested in who you are or what you say…
    You´re not being considered if you´re not visibly one of "us"….
    Just count me out… I am one of teh others…
    Donah..//

  548. WOW! I'm so disappointed in Ga of a fail system. Too much doubt and no fair trial. I pray for Troy and alot of innocent people all over the world.

  549. Mais dans quel monde vit-on?!
    On relâche des pédophiles, des meurtriers, … au bout de quelques années mais on emprisonne un innocent comme Troy Davis pour ensuite le tuer! C'est inadmissible! Aucune preuve recevable n'est à l'appui. Alors pourquoi donc faire ça?!
    On croit vivre dans un monde où la justice règne, où elle réglera tout. Mais qu'est-ce la justice dans une affaire comme celle-ci? Je n'en vois aucune! Seulement de la cruauté humaine pure et dure!

    Courage Troy Davis, on pense tous à toi!

  550. The guy was clearly guilty, he had a fair trial. After 20 years, memories fail, any idiot can find former witnesses to recant. It shouldn't have taken so long. Just do it and get it over with. He deserved the death penalty 20 years ago, he deserves it today. If you want to get rid of the death penalty, STOP KILLING PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD.

  551. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis. He is already in prison, on Death Row. If he is found again to be guilty after new evidence is considered, there will be plenty of time for him to be executed. But there is too much doubt and inconsistency surrounding his conviction, and like all American citizens, he deserves the right to have a fair and impartial trial. Once he is executed, there is no way to go back and grant him this opportunity. I urge the officials in the state of Georgia and representatives of the United States government to do the right thing.

  552. I suspect the Board wants the psychological neatness leaving this case behind – even if it means making a * major* mistake with someone else life. AT THIS LAST HOUR, the Board needs to- has to – acknowledge the doubt surrounding Troy's case – not continue the push for things to be over.

    People (on Boards, in DA offices) make big mistakes under pressure. The moment is for the Board – and Larry Chisholm to be human, fix the MISTAKE, and grant Troy Davis a reprieve. Save this man.

  553. After killing thousands of innocent people in Irak. A country that has lost all human values kills an innocent man again. There is a dead innocent man walking.

    But except for the atomic threaten, this is a country without human values by majority. So faor all of You, who believe in God, every man deserves his dignity, whether guilty of a killing or not. So if You still haven`t understood this and believe in Your God, that hopefully for You won`t exist, You will live in hell for the rest of Your life.

    Peace and dignity for all human beings, no hate, love and a civiliced society, that the U:S. is not.

    Jens Bosse from Germany

  554. a death penalty still is… M U R D E R!

    so no matter what, two wrongs don't make it right, no matter which country or state commits it.

    it's a shame we're still having conversations about death row or lethal injection in 2011!

  555. We all know Casey Anthony is guilty of murdering her daughter, there is plenty of evidence to show that, and OJ is guilty of murdering Ron & Nicole, but this man is not guilty! This is the kind of stuff that makes me crazy about our "judicial system", it fails more ofthen than not! The death penalty needs to be abolished! What is happening to this man is not right!

  556. “And justice for some”…..Do not execute Troy Anthony Davis! Free him! Justice is definitely blind!!!

  557. Everyone knows that you cant convict a man guilty without true evidence. If these witnesses changed their story from the first time then how can you use them as a credible source. There are also nine other witnesses who sai that it was not troy but a different man. I dont understand how they can do this with no true evidence. This is so wrong. W NEED TO STOP THEM FROM KILLING AN INNOCANT MAN! The death penalty, in my opinion should stay intact, but for serious serial killers, with a ton of evidemce prooving it is them, unlike this case. SAVE TROY DAVIS!

  558. The murder of Troy Davis will not be stopped no matter if he is innocent or not. This due to the fact that American government never will allow them self to give in to what the man in the street claims. For them that is showing weakness. They want to believe they are strong, the strongest there is, in fact. But a belief is not always a fact.

    They claim that justice is blind, but I can tell that justice is not blind, she have just covered her eyes.

    I do not know if this man is innocent or not. All I know is that one can not prove that he is the murder of the Police officer 20 years ago. However, I cant care less, how brutal that may sound, but case is that there is no circumstances where we could justifies our self to become murderess as well.

    I know, we have cases where one can be 100% sure of other peoples evilness, Like Hitler, The Norwegian terrorist Brevik and others and one may wish to take these peoples life. But I will never allow my self to become one of them. But I will fight them, oh yes, indeed, and fight against all what they may stand for.Lock them up, yes I will as long as they are a threat to me and my family, but never take their life. Why? because you can never know for 100% that they never will change.

    You may like my statement or hate it, you may find it ridiculous and inconsistent, you are welcome, but I have stretched the boundary which I will never trespass.

    Save Troy Davis

  559. Faire “justice” après plus de vingt années de peine purgée en tôle alors que le doute subsiste…
    Une justice avec des relents de vengeance, une bible dans une main, un flingue dans l’autre!
    Quelle tristesse…

  560. It’s my hope that reason prevails here but unfortunately that may not be the case. I find it hard to believe that with so many doubts, someone could be put to death. An explanation should be given to the hundreds of thousands who have spoken out. ~Many blessings to Troy Davis~

  561. Please do not execute a QUESTIONABLE prosecution. A new trial should be set and the physical evidence that is needed can be examined.

    One innocent man's death is one innocent death too many.

  562. STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!

    THIS IS AN UNFAIR TRIAL!!!

    STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!!!

  563. Death penalty is not a democratic lord, it is murder. Mr. Governor of Georgia’s State, how do you sleep at night?

  564. STOP THE EXECUTION!!!! There is too much doubt in this case and executing a possibly innocent man means the REAL murder suspect still walks the streets. Put yourself in Troy Davis’ position, or even his family’s position and think about how would you feel. The decision you are making is a big mistake! You will carry a lot of weight on your shoulders for the rest your life if you find out later on down the line that Troy Davis was innocent. This would not be a good thing. Your decisions will the no longer trusted and Georgia’s State Board will be looked down on. Please, do the right thing, DO NOT execute this man without having substantial evidence that he is indeed the man that committed this murder. DO NOT EXECUTE TROY DAVIS!! YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MAKE A DECISION TO PUT THE POSSIBLY INNOCENT TO DEATH. ARE YOU HUMAN??!! IF YOU EXECUTE TROY DAVIS, YOU ALL ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE ACTUAL MURDER SUSPECT!!!

  565. It is my hope that reason, logic and justice moves the hearts and minds of those who are in power to save this man life. We weren’t able to save Snookie but we have the opportunity to save Troy Davis. We can discuss the failure of the national government and the failure of American foreign policies, however here is an opportunity for individuals to make a local change. Here, individuals can decide to stand up for justice and save at least one life.

  566. PLEASE STOP!!! This will be an unlawful killing! Mr. Davis' case is filled with doubt and needs to be reviewed…by law! You let Casey Anthony go free despite all the evidence against her, yet you're adamant about executing Mr. Davis? May God bless you…because you're going to need it.

  567. I’m not against the death penalty, but no one should ever be executed if there is even an OUNCE of doubt as to the guilt of the accused. Troy Davis should be granted clemency immediately!

  568. T IMPACT INNOCENT PEOPLE>Stop the execution..The system needs to stop denying it’s wrong doing when it is evident they were WRONG…This is more self evident in testimony to the level of arrogance of racists that permeates our political, judicial and society in this so called country of freedom and democracy. I salute the power of the people to change this mindset where it is needed and GET RID OF THOSE IN POWER WHO MAKE SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE DECISIONS.!!!!! SAVE TROY DAVIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  569. In my opinion, this execution must mark a turning point, in which all who are genuinely concerned about truth, justice and compassion, must unite to press for the setting up of an International body recognised by the whole world, to examine EVERY case of execution and have the right of access to the information that was available to the courts plus other valid information, including information not allowed by the courts. Each case should be examined to a greater of lesser extent, to sift through those which are likely to be cases where an innocent person has been executed. The body must be capable of prosecuting those who are guilty of miscarriages of justice and bringing them to court to face charges of manslaughter or in some cases murder. All cases where an innocent person has been executed must be openly publicised and the innocent executed exhonerated from the crime. Countries whose justice systems are executing the innocent should be brought to the United Nations and their injustice publicly Disgraced. Compensation must also be demanded to be paid to the families of the inncently executed. It is long past time when something like this was put into place. The US will join the list of countries whose injustice is disgraced along the ranks of Iran, China and North Korea.

  570. Doubt or no doubt, a system for executing people should never exist. No boday has the right to take away life. Are the American people paying for executions through tax? How are prisons and death row funded? End the death penalty.

  571. Legal state lynching of yet another Afrikan man, what has changed in 400 years, do not be surprised. Uprise!

  572. S'il vous plaît, au nom de la justice et des droits de l'homme, sauvez Troy Davis !

    Please, don't kill Troy !!!

  573. I do realize the media tells us only what they want to know, but from their perspective it would seem that the Troy Davis case is fraught with far too much doubt for capital punishment to be justified. If there is solid evidence linking him directly to the murder then release that information to the public!!! After all, it's supposed to be "The State of Georgia vs Troy Davis" in court, right? That being the case, the state, and the nation, should be privy to what's going on. If no solid evidence is available, killing Mr. Davis is as evil and wicked as whoever killed the officer in the first place. Just more innocent blood shed while the real killer remains free. That's not justice. It's an awful joke.

  574. Please stop this. Here is a human life, and the Georgia State want to destroy it. There are to many doubts.
    I am from Germany, I think like Joao, I want to say all american people, that here in Germany or Europe, aren´t more crimes or killings as in to USA. May be less.
    Also in West Germany the death Row is forbidden since 1949.
    Executions are terrible and against human rights.
    Not even for Troy Davis!

  575. THIS STORY HURT MA HEART ! OMG BUT THE LAW IS EVERY MAN IS [INNOCENT] UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY RIGHT! HES NOT GULITY, NO MURDER WEAPON, NO DNA NO NOTHING! [NOT GUILTY] ! ITS ASHAME HE HAS TO LOOSE HIS LIFE TO THIS … WHERE IS THE JUSTICE ! FYI EVERBODY IS ON HIS SIDE.. THERE JUST TAKING IT THIS FAR CAUSE THE MAN WAS A POLICE OFFICER ! THIS SYSTEM IS CORRUPT ! SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT! THIS MAN DOES NOT DESERVE TO DIE AND LOOSE HE LIFE FOR SOMETHING HE POSSIBLY DIDNT EVEN DO! HES ALREADY IN PRISON, ISNT THAT ENOUGH ! HE JUST DID 20 YRSAND NOW YALL WANNA TAKE HIS LIFE! THERE HAD TO OF BEEN SOME 2ND GUESSING BEACAUSE THEY WAITED THIS LONG! ! ! BACKWARDS IF YOU ASK ME.. GA NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER THIS MAN DOESNT DESERVE THIS! ALL MY HOPES AND PRAYER GOES OUT TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY & I HOPE THAT JUSTICE IS SOUGHT BEFORE 6:59PM !

    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!"
    "PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!

  576. I pray that this execution is halted indefinitely as their is too much doubt. With such doubt, I don’t see how could anyone uphold this.

  577. Clemency for Troy Davis. Killing an innocent man will not draw closure. Murder is never the way.

  578. Clemency for Troy Davis. Killing an innocent man will not draw closure. Murder is never the way. God bless his soul.

  579. Really? We dont know if he is guilty for sure and we are about to put him to death.. Really?? have we came to such a low point we will kill an maybe INNOCENT man??????? We are america people they say we are the leaders of the would do we really want to be this kind of leader?

  580. Ich bin gegen die Todesstrafe!
    Wer maßt sich hier an Gott zu spielen!
    Hier wird nun zu großer Wahrscheinlichkeit unschuldig ein Mensch hingerichtet!
    Wie kann man dies zulassen????
    Ich bin wirklich sehr sehr traurig!
    Wer Menschen zur Todesstrafe verurteilt ist selbst ein Mörder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  581. I read up on the case a few times to make sure I had a clear picture and I concur with the voice of others, we should not continue with execution with so much doubt. There are so many inmates who receive life sentences without any doubt; I just don't understand why Troy is sentenced to death with so many missing pieces and recants from witness. I strongly feel his sentence should still be reevaluated.

  582. Do not execute this man…is tgere is reasonable doubt which there is mre than enuf for a mistrial. This is a life that if innocent has already been stripped of 20 that cannot be given back…postpone and launch anew investigation…dnt kill TROY DAVIS…

    TROY U R IN MY PRAYERS

  583. How are you excuting someone that there is doubt. How can you live with yourselves. Remember God is watching. United States tries to represent doing the right thing. Lets start. The justice system is messed up and not right. Stop this death and do further investigation in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

  584. Please reconsider the execution of Troy Davis. There is not enough evidence to prove that he murdered a police officer. Also, if all except two of the witnesses LIE and CONTRADICT themselves, obviously their words CANNOT be trusted. Troy Davis deserves justice which seems to elude him every time he has a glimmer of hope of evading this sad and careless judgement against him. TROY DAVIS DOES NOT DESERVE DEATH…HE DESERVES LIFE, HOPE, HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM SINCE HE IS INNOCENT OF THE CRIME. If ALL evidence against Casey Anthony point to her as the murderer of her own daughter and the law acquits her then the law should most definitely release Troy Davis since the evidence points everywhere EXCEPT towards him.

  585. I am a Georgia voter and the outcome of this situation will undeniably sway my vote. I am pleading with officials to halt this execution for further investigation. Please do not let us be like Texas. Do not let us murder innocent people. Let Georgia set an example of human rights for every other state in the US. Give the forensic evidence a chance here.
    You have kept this man in jail for 20 years. If he is innocent, would you also wrongfully murder him to cover that up? Let's own up to it and do our best to reverse the damage if damage was done. If not, you prove yourself right to execute Troy Davis- but I can't believe anyone would live their lives with contentment knowing that they may have had the blood of an innocent man on their hands. Please reconsider the evidence for Troy Davis.

  586. There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. Stop the execution by all means.

  587. Killing a potentially innocent man is something I thought I would never see in this country. I am former member of the armed forces and served to protect the personal freedom and all US citizen. I hope my efforts weren't in vain.

    Good bless Troy Davis!

  588. PLEASE do not excute Troy Davis. How can you when there is doubt???? The world is watching, the United States has the reputation of playing fair. Live up to it and do not allow this to happen. Support from the U.K.

  589. What I mailed a few minutes ago to Juge Penny Freesemann :
    Troy Davies execution would get America dirty

    Madam,
     
    His life lies in your hands. The Honor of America lies in your hands.
    Please, do not let everybody around the world thinking bad things about your Country, saying that USA doesn't understand Justice and Loyalty.
    Please, stop the ''legal'' murder of Troy Davies.
     
    (I beg your pardon for my bad english language.)
     
    Very respectfully,
     
    Sarah H. PIERRE-LOUIS, from France.

  590. STOP THIS NONSENSE. Rather that to spend our tax $ on INNOCENT PEOPLE. DO YOUR JOB AND PROSECUTE THE RIGHT PERSON.
    STOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOPSTOP STOP STOP NOW

  591. It's unbelievable the amount of doubt that this many people are ignoring. I'm horrified with the proceedings of this case.

  592. Don’t kill this men when there is so much doubt. The USA is always seen as a model for the rest of the world but with this kind of things I don’t think that anybody should see the USA as a model. Please stop this now. Support from Spain.

  593. stop the execution of an innocent man !!!!!!! i am not even from the united states and i find this appalling beyond belief. there is #TOOMUCHDOUBT

  594. God is watching….dont take this man life because of a law when it appears that there is reasonable doubt

  595. Please STOP the execution of Troy Davis!!!!! There is TO MUCH DOUBT!!!! Killing doesn't solve anything anyway! If you kill Troy you are no better than any murderer!!!

  596. This is man’s life, a man who already served years. Why is death needed to provide justice, when the issue of his guilt has too many doubts surrounding it? It’s not justice at all, it’s just wrong. Please, set him free!

  597. STOP THIS EXECUTION! this man has not been proven guilty for certain and it is breaking so many of hid rights it is not fair. if u know what is good for human rights dont do it. look at how many people say no yet u ignore them? what is becoming of this world…

  598. no death penalty for anyone.
    No to death penalty in any case.
    There is no murder justified for justice.
    Never.

  599. ♫Georgia on My Mind♪♫, – my ass!

    It will be Georgia in My Nightmare.

    Is this what you want to be remembered for?

    To: Albert Murray, Robert E. Keller, L. Gale Buckner, James E. Donald and Terry Barnard, the members of Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles:

    STOP this madness and put you back to the classification of Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

    .

  600. Please do not execute Troy Davis. There is too much doubt, do not proceed unless there is absolutely no doubt about the fact that he is guilty.
    Regards

  601. It doesn't matter you're beliefs, or if you think he's guilty or not. The issue at hand is our countries justice system. If we let them take a man with no clear evidence, what does that say about our country and everything we fight and stand for? it's already a terrible flaw that he's been in prison for 19 years. We keep killers alive everyday. People that go on murderous rampages; even cop killers. Knowingly. Testaments and evidence. Why this one man? Use the death sentence properly if you're using it at all. This is a step backwards for our country. Not in my name. Georgia must not execute Troy Davis.

  602. Why does it not surprise me that American Injustice is alive and well and still going on in the USA. I am against the Death Penalty also.

  603. If one of the witnesses was illiterate, how can he sign a witness statement… how can there not be reasonable doubt in this case?

  604. Now hear me! My ancestors were from Georgia and fought in 2 wars. We’re tough people. They are rolling over in their graves. This is not the country I love doing this to a likely innocent man. I am terribly upset. Years ago, when I was attacked in New Haven, the police brought me to try and identify my assailant. I saw a group of men but could not state conclusively. Later, they showed me several photographs. Even though one looked likely, I told the officer I wasn’t about to send an innocent man to prison. I needed to be 100% certain and I wasn’t. WE as a society do NOT have the right to KILL, period – let alone apply the death penalty without 100% surety. There is a higher authority to answer to even than legality – it’s called morality. If you don’t know what this means, re-read Plato, Sophocles and Aristotle.

  605. Where is Obama when you need him and what is his stand on that? I have no doubt that he would able to stop this execution if he wants too. Bush was able to override congress with weird executive orders in other issues. I bet there is a possibility for the US president to grant clemency in last minute and initiate a new trial. Write him on Facebook and twitter your tongue sore … we have a loud voice ….. stand up, be clear!

  606. I do not support the capital punishment… not to kill Troy Davis and to let it live, s' you like it!

  607. 2 and half hours till justice is served! FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SENTENCING!! There are laws in place and punishment for those laws.. Im sure its all the Police fault.. His family and friends Im sure have not tried to send threats to the witness' or their family! Always the police.. People think about the cop that died protecting these American streets! Oh yea, that is how america is, you dont think about Cops until you need one! 9/11 proved that!

  608. PLEASE DONT NOT execute this man! You do not have enough evidence to prove Troy is the killer. Half the witnesses changed their stories and another man has confessed. Georgia is still racist! Please stop the killing!

  609. The standard of law is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and the standard should be much higher in the case of the death penalty. I concur that there is not even the "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" to convict Troy, let alone execute him.

  610. I see only WHITE people are granted clemency and its a damn shame.. NO MATTER HOW MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS LIVE IN THE SOUTH IT WILL STILL BE A WHITE MANS HELL HOLE…HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A former Army recruiter who for the third time this year was hours away from his scheduled execution for the rape-slaying of a woman in Fort Worth nearly 10 years ago was granted yet another reprieve by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
    Cleve Foster, 47, was set to die Tuesday evening in Huntsville.
    The high court twice earlier this year stopped Foster’s scheduled lethal injection. The latest court ruling came about 2½ hours before Foster could have been taken to the Texas death chamber.
    Foster was meeting with one of his lawyers in a small holding cell a few feet from the death chamber when a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman delivered the news.
    “He thanked God and pointed to his attorney, saying this woman helped save his life,” prison spokesman Jason Clark said.
    He also said Foster repeated his insistence that he was innocent.

  611. It is chilling to the core that there is not enough of a shred of humanity in those with the power, to call off this grave injustice of executing a more than likely INNOCENT fellow human being. Truly hell is on this Earth. For those who sit back and let this horror take place, I pray for your souls, if indeed you are human and are in possession of one. I will never be convinced that a person with a conscience and a beating heart, who has known love could allow this to take place. This is pure evil. There is a dark agenda pushing politics in every area of our governments, and the time has come for the truth to be revealed. To those who sit idly by, you will surely have a price to pay for the blood of Troy Davis. May the Power of the heavens and Almighty God lay the truth out for all to see, and stir the powers that be toward clemency on this, World Peace Day.

  612. what if someone killed your family like this?
    or raped your wife/daughter/sister/wife – YOU STILL WONT SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY?

    silly liberals!

  613. Let me make one thing clear!! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KILL HIM!!!! They are going through with sentencing! You got that people! He was convicted on evidence presented then and just becasue these scumbag witnesses are being threatened by his family and friends doesnt mean he deserves to go free with murder!! They are going through with sentencing not killing him… He killed himself when he shot a cop protecting your asses while you sleep!

  614. 20 years in jail is long time. Why put death on top of it? When there is not prof that bind the man to the crime. That is insane.

  615. Where is Obama when you need him and what is his stand on that?
    STOP THIS EXECUTION!
    this man has not been proven guilty for certain and it is breaking so many of hid rights it is not fair. I’m not against the death penalty, but no one should ever be executed if there is even an OUNCE of doubt as to the guilt of the accused. Troy Davis should be granted clemency immediately!

  616. A call for Prayer
    As much as solidarity from fellow human beings is commendable, (may) I invite every single Christian to fall on ones knees to intercede for Troy Davis that his life be spared.

  617. If Troy Davis die that is a shame and all our voices get killed same time. We are Troy Davis, people that believe in innocent and want justice. Listen to the worlds voices. Let Troy Davis be free, His case is not over just because a innocent man die and the real murderer walks free. We all will remember how people in USA refuse to listen and kill innocent people. STOP THIS MADNESS NOW

  618. John you have used too much space. I dont not see many agreeing with you.
    Get OFF the site. You and your likes give humans a bad name.

  619. In today’s justice system there HAS to be consistency across the board to determine the innocence of anyone. Not only in one state but across the United States. It’s obvious there are a lot of inconsistencies when it comes to this case but in a matter where there ISN’T much evidence (the same reason why Casey Anthony was freed) this man has to be freed- grant him clemency.

    You have two jurors who even come back saying NO, DON’T EXECUTE this man. What does that say? What does that say to people who actually believe in fair trials, the jury system AND the judicial system.

    Corruption is at it’s best here. I’m praying for this man, his family and the state of Georgia.

    VR

  620. I read news about that Troy wanted to do the test to see if he tells the truth. Then why is he not alow to show he is innocent? This case is not ok.

  621. This guy nerves has lived through nearly twenty years of stress. There's no real proof – this execution CANNOT be allowed to go ahead – I follow this from France and cannot understand your countries' policies – there's loads of doubt in this case but the state is going to kill him???? How can this situation even exist???? STOP THIS EXECUTION

  622. I am a Business undergrad student and entrepreneur from New Jersey who has been following the news surrounding Troy Davis. I watched as the law wrongly placed an innocent man behind bars, taking years away from his life as a man to live in freedom. How can a city so deeply religious in Christian faith and have love for God can honestly stand by a horrible and wrong decision to take the life of an innocent man based on tainted views, angry cops who visibly seem bias and testimonies which have changed from each of the witness through out this case against Davis. You do not solve a life taken by taking the life of another . Even after a man confesses to the murder the District Attorney, Larry Chisel has yet to make an honorable and righteous decision to over turn Troy’s death sentence . Those who support Troy will no doubt receive God’s favor while those whose who continue to push to murder an innocent man will face God’s wrath for the wicked deed they all have a hand in. Do the right thing Georgia, Grant Troy Davis Clemency before its too late……..

  623. This case needs to be looked at again at the very least. It's obviously falling apart, if there was even a case to begin with… Executing this man now, would be sanctioned murder by the state.

  624. Hello, Gouverneur of Georgia

    They are the only person able to decide on the life and death of Troy Davis.

    You can breathe life any human being. You can not get love. But you could just allow Troy Davis a process.

    Be a good person and grant Troy Davis's life. Their policy spieglet in the deeds of the people informed.

    I trust in God and your wise decision.

    Help Troy Davis

  625. John I am white but my man is BLACK. People can live in peace. CAN YOU? I don´t believe the police mans family is happy when they put a innocent man to death. Do you believe so???? No thanks. Right shall be right.

  626. If there is not 100% proof that this man is guilty, then the death penalty is wrong!!!
    If it is wrong to kill, why do we allow the state to kill?

  627. Will someone PLEASE explain how the bullet casings at the officer's shooting scene EXACTLY MATCH the casing from the scene of Davis' earlier (that afternoon) shooting of Michael Cooper? Davis was the only person at both scenes and the bullet casings exactly match. Davis has been convicted of Cooper's shooting, and nobody has recanted any testimon in that case.

    Will somebody PLEASE EXPLAIN!?

    That said, I oppose the death penalty, for ANYBODY! But please note – Troy Davis is NOT innocent.

  628. Stress? What stress? Hell I been feeding him, taking care of his doctor bills, paying his light bill and water bill….. what stress

  629. spare this man – not only is he arguably innocent – it is an inhuman process you are following. Civilisation has its hallmarks – and murder is not one! FREE TROY DAVIS

  630. It is extremely sad to see someone judged based upon limited evidence and sentenced to death. If you are wrong, then you are a murderer if you kill an innocent man. The death blood with be on your hands and on your heart. Please do not execute this man.

    Here is how our society demonstrates double standards. You sentence a man to time in prison for dog-fighting and take away his life for a temporary time period. You call this justice!

    However, you have not idea whether this man is innocent or not, but you continue with the scheduled execution. A human life does weight as much as a dog's life! What kinda of world do we live in?

  631. THIS IS NOT A SHOW OF JUSTICE RATHER A PRIME EXAMPLE THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED…THE SOUTH REMAINS THE SOUTH, THE MENTALITY, THE RACISM, THE BIGOTRY, THE LYNCHING, THE LIES, THE ILLEGAL TREATMENT OF COLORED FOLKS, AND MOST OF ALL "HATE"…OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WILL NOT ONLY FAIL, BUT IT WILL ALSO TELL US THAT "WE MIGHT AS WELL TAKE JUSTICE INTO OUR OWN HANDS"…YOU KILL US AND WE KILL YOU AND LET'S HAVE A SHOWDOWN….LAST ONE STANDING WINS….IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO…PRIMITIVE AND WILD? WHY CAN'T WE ALLOW A MAN THE SAME RIGHT ALL WHITE FOLKS HAVE? WHY DO WHITE FOLKS GET OFF NO MATTER WHAT? DONT COMPLAIN WHEN RIOTING BEGINS BECAUSE OF OUR DEEPLY EMBEDDED ANGER DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SYSTEM THAT ONLY PERTAINS TO YOU AND NOT US. I AM DISGUSTED.

  632. Um, I don’t think anyone with the ability to stop the execution of Troy ‘Cop Killing Nigger’ Davis comes here. Stop crying. I am sure many of you put your hackneyed Desmond Tutu phrases here. The same Desmond Tutu whose wife Winnie liked executing political opponents with necklacing (Putting a burning tired on their necks until they were immolated). Sorry guys he did it, and he should have been executed on the spot, along with his entire family. Please make sure you delete/censor this comment as your side does not believe in listening to anyone else. You spend so much time defending murderers, maybe you are the problem. If we killed more of these pieces of garbage the second they assaulted someone, our world would be much more peaceful.

  633. Marita first off I never mentioned color, u did. And for ur information I am BLACK AND MY WIFE! SO WHAT THE HELL DOES COLOR GOT TO WIT DIS CASE?He killed somebody and that's that

  634. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis! Where is the justice of this coutry! You can’t execute a man unless you prove him gulity beyond resonable doubt which is not the case!

  635. Was you there? Then show the evidence instead of writing stupid things here. very good that you pay his bills. you can continue with that.

  636. and yes I believe color is important in this. I believe he would have been a free man if he would be white when they have not prof he did the crime

  637. I stand up against death penelty, people mustn’t act as if they had no conciense, we got the choice to answer violence with love, even if he commited murder, this was not the way to deal with it! May peace prevail on earth!

  638. To John,
    It is not clear whether Color has anything to do with this case or not. What is clear is that the complete lack of valid evidence in this case, is no basis whatsoever for executing anyone! Considering that in this case, the likely murderer, who is known by name to the authorities, is now free and walking the streets of America, while this man is executed for his crime, this execution amounts to a human sacrifice to honour the American "Justice System". Executing any man, whether Troy Davis or anyone else, for a crime they did not commit is morally disgusting and a disgrace to the US, who claims to have a 'moral standard' to lift to the world! No longer! Executing the innocent, the US has joined the likes of Iran, China and North Korea in their crimes against the innocent. The family of the executed must take this case to sue for damages for the execution of an innocent man, when the authorities know that the confiction is unsafe, most of the witnesses admitting that they were coerced to give false testimonies!!

  639. GOD WILL JUDGE THIS SITUATION DAVIS! THE LORD WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG! KEEP ON TRUSTING HIM WE ARE ALL WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE US!
    WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.
    YOU WILL NOT DIE BUT LIVE TO DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
    TRUST GOD HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE AND NO MAN CAN STAND BEFORE HIM!

    PLEASE FREEEE TROY,EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT HE IS INNOCENT! DON'T BE STUBBORN, EVERYBODY IS BEGGING PLEEEEEAAAAASE!!!!!!!

    Audrey 🙁

  640. I AM BLACK and this racism card is getting old. I'm not colored nor am I a nigga! I am good ole black folk just like they is good ole white folk! The racism comes from sorry ass white folk AND sorry ass black folk! They is crap in the caucasion side and they is crap in the black side…. the choice is how YOU choose to fit in.. we have a black president, where do u think he would be if he and his family sat and cried about racism? Leave racism out of it

  641. really comming to this again,running around lick chickens with our heads cut off making random decisions.I think they won’t change their minds cause they don’t feel like re-doing anything.Are we gonna have another Texa’s faulse death penalty episode again(not saying this happened in Texas)

  642. I’m from the first country in the world that abolished the death penalty, Portugal. It is not obly wrong to kill another human and, in this case, there are too much doubts.
    I’m proud to say that in my country such unhumain acts are forbithen. PLease learn with us. We do not have more crime that in the USA and we don’t kill people.

  643. GOD WILL JUDGE THIS SITUATION DAVIS! THE LORD WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG! KEEP ON TRUSTING HIM WE ARE ALL WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE US!
    WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.YOU WILL NOT DIE BUT LIVE TO DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
    TRUST GOD HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE AND NO MAN CAN STAND BEFORE HIM!

    PLEASE FREEEE TROY,EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT HE IS INNOCENT! DON'T BE STUBBORN, EVERYBODY IS BEGGING PLEEEEEAAAAASE!!!!!!!

    Audrey 🙁

  644. stopper cette aberration !! L' amérique paiera rapidement de ses crimes raciaux !
    Elle prétend être maitresse du monde mais le monde verra son visage !
    Sans preuve, personne ne peut tuer ! Pourquoi préciser que c'est un policier blanc? noir ou blanc , tout policier est et reste policier de ses fonctions !!!
    La patience est le meilleur des conseiller . le monde entier vous demande d’arrêter ce crime injuste. Un JUSTICE EST JUSTE !!! (ET NON INJUSTE)
    VOUS TRAVAILLER POUR QUI SI VOUS N'ETES PLUS JUSTE ?????????
    Le monde entier se pose cette question mais cette fois c'est la Justice divine qui s'occupera de parler …

  645. I have read most of the comments so far and can only say this..
    The executioner and fans of it are damaged people in a way that they cannot feel what would normally be felt. And that is what normally prevents this kind of mistake. So we have the job of intervening on their behalf. To do the feeling for them. We allowed people who need this kind of help be in charge of things. Now we are upset when they do what they naturally do. Our fault I think?

  646. To “Happy Giggles” if you are so smart? then why should not people with power be so smart so they go here and read? I am sure they have seen there is a problem with the case Troy Davis that People have something to say about it from all over the world. There can be miracles, when you believe… we are many that believes. In love. In GOD. In Justice. In peace.

  647. Stop this madness ! There are too much doubt. The gun was never found. And there are no prove that he is guilty. Please in name of humanity and peace. Don’t kill an innocent man !

  648. I'M OK WITH WHAT YOU ARE ALSO SAYING FREDERIQUE C'EST ECOEURANT DE VOIR QUE L'HOMME VEUT SE MESURER A DIEU ET JUGER!

  649. I join all reactions of you people from the States that death penalty is wrong, and that in Troys case it is dubble unfair because he is in prison 22 years! For something which he did not do as it seems. It would be an atrocity to end his lifein this way: murder by the state Georgia. I do hope the viglils go well forth.
    From Europe , from Holland I say: I and all my friends and churchmembers are with you now in hope and prayer. That we may have good news before 7 pm,,
    here : 1 am. namely that Troy will live!!!! Wish byou all much strength!!!

  650. I urge to you to please do what is in your power to stop the execution of Troy Davis. There's no physical evidence proven that he committed the crime he is now being executed for. Seven of nine witnesses has withdrawn their testimonies. There are so many doubs in his case that you can simply not go ahead with this execution! The blood of a possible innocent man will now be on the hands of the men who could stop it, but choosed not too….US is suppose to be a leading country in the world, yet to this day in the year of 2011 you are executing citizens who hasn't even been given a fair trial! The eyes of the world are now watching you, please show us that US is not a country where people are being treated unjustified, by racial grounds. Please show us that you've come further than that, that US is a country where all men are being treated equally and were you have a fair, safe legal system… Please, please, I beg, stop this execution now..
    Best regards,
    Hanna Stenberg, Sweden.

  651. I know Troy will never read this but if I could give him a message I’d tell him there’s a legion of people behind him and we will be praying for him. Your death won’t be in vein if even one person remembers your innocence. You have inspired at least one, and I believe many people.

  652. Please, even as times draws near, free this man. If there is doubt then you can not execute this man. No Shedding Of Innocent Blood. Wouldn’t it make since to retry this man rather than kill a possible innocent person. How can it be easier to execute anyone who may be innocent.

  653. I pray for Troy Davis. I believe he is innocent since he wanted to do the test to prof that he tells the truth. Right now I wish for a miracle. People with power do something about it.

  654. Please , you can’t kill a possible innocent person ! Where is the justice ?..
    Dear Troy, courage to you ! We’ll never forget your courage .. Peace .

  655. Aujourd’hui, la parole portée par les USA est entendue lorsqu’elle défend les Droits de l’Homme. Stop à cette exécution qui anéantirait cet homme mais aussi l’image des USA dans le monde. Sauvez Troys Davis. Merci

    Today, the word brought by the United States is heard when defending human rights. Stop the execution that would destroy this man but America’s image around the world. Save Troy Davis. thank you

  656. DO NOT DO THIS.

    WE WILL COLLECTIVELY PAY FOR HIS PRISON TIME WHILE FURTHER INVESTIGATION ENSUES.

    NO NEED TO TAKE YET ANOTHER LIFE IN AN ALREADY TRAGIC SITUATION.

  657. It's wrong to execute people, especially in a case like this where there are so many doubts. The US claims to be a democracy and to have respect for human rights, show us that and stop this execution. Please.

    /Maria, Sweden

  658. Please do not put an innocent man to death when there is so much doubt. Where do we stand as humans? Do we not value life? GOD bless Troy Davis!!

  659. As a criminal justice major if this is what we are going to do then I think I would just change. We are suppose to protect the innocent. And give them a fair trial without any question then this is not one of the time. Is that what the state is saying forgot about equal justices and the laws and just do this and wash their hands then I don’t want to be apart of the hand washing process guilt will not be on my hands. Do the right thing for the justcie department and the people give he a stay and redo the trial.

  660. Please set a good example for those countries that still maintains capital punishment like mine–Japan. Do not execute someone who hasn't been proven guilty by fair trials. If the US could stop this execution, then others may learn from it and follow a suit.

    Besides all the lack of a clear evidence, how do you justify taking the life of a man who is accused of taking someone's life? I don't understand.

  661. Une pensée pour celui qui, à 1h du matin ( heure local en Belgique), payera encore de sa vie les erreurs des enquêtes judiciaires bâclées. Qui sont ces gens qui décident de mettre fin à la vie d'un homme. Que les pays se mobilisent et demande la grâce pour Troy Davis.

  662. You all know I am “outspoken” and
    that I don´t give a hoot about other opinions
    if they just cross my radar…

    Georgia, I learned.. is a religiously Christian state…
    So why don´t you just follow the Bible.. saying:-
    Donot do unto others what you don´t want done unto yourselves….

    I have convinced myself that Georgia has a differend GOD..
    Some entitiy which is much more than Allah….
    An eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth..

    And I got convinced that Georgia is not one of your 50 (Christian) states
    “Under God”….
    but one on “off shore”….. induced by Calvin !!

    Am I glad I´m not living on Stateside…. !! ´You figure why….

    From the GripeVine.. & Donah..//

  663. I can’t belive it!
    I’m only fourteen years old but i know exactly wehen someone is inculpabel.
    This guy is inculpabel.

    I’ll pray for Troy Davis…
    Hopefully it isn’t to late…

  664. This is an injustice. His human rights are being violated. He should not be executed if there is any shadow of a doubt. Please stop this!!

  665. comment un pays dit civilisé peut encore comettre de tels actes de barbarie. Troy Davis est victime du racisme, d'une justice bâclée et d'un pays qui ne mérite pas toujours sa place dans le monde des démocraties

  666. Nobody is interested in who you are or what you say…
    You´re not being considered if you´re not visibly one of “us”….
    Just count me out… I am one of teh others…
    Donah..//

  667. This doesn't make sense that in 2011 something like this could even take place. Its sad to say that this is the world we live in today, one where a man can be convicted and sentenced to death without a fair trial. Justice is a word used often in America but if this goes through the word would be tarnished for ever. So I ask from everyone to pray for justice and to put a halt to the execution of Troy Davis.

  668. WOW! I’m so disappointed in Ga of a fail system. Too much doubt and no fair trial. I pray for Troy and alot of innocent people all over the world.

  669. Mais dans quel monde vit-on?!
    On relâche des pédophiles, des meurtriers, … au bout de quelques années mais on emprisonne un innocent comme Troy Davis pour ensuite le tuer! C’est inadmissible! Aucune preuve recevable n’est à l’appui. Alors pourquoi donc faire ça?!
    On croit vivre dans un monde où la justice règne, où elle réglera tout. Mais qu’est-ce la justice dans une affaire comme celle-ci? Je n’en vois aucune! Seulement de la cruauté humaine pure et dure!

    Courage Troy Davis, on pense tous à toi!

  670. The guy was clearly guilty, he had a fair trial. After 20 years, memories fail, any idiot can find former witnesses to recant. It shouldn’t have taken so long. Just do it and get it over with. He deserved the death penalty 20 years ago, he deserves it today. If you want to get rid of the death penalty, STOP KILLING PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD.

  671. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis. He is already in prison, on Death Row. If he is found again to be guilty after new evidence is considered, there will be plenty of time for him to be executed. But there is too much doubt and inconsistency surrounding his conviction, and like all American citizens, he deserves the right to have a fair and impartial trial. Once he is executed, there is no way to go back and grant him this opportunity. I urge the officials in the state of Georgia and representatives of the United States government to do the right thing.

  672. I suspect the Board wants the psychological neatness leaving this case behind – even if it means making a * major* mistake with someone else life. AT THIS LAST HOUR, the Board needs to- has to – acknowledge the doubt surrounding Troy’s case – not continue the push for things to be over.

    People (on Boards, in DA offices) make big mistakes under pressure. The moment is for the Board – and Larry Chisholm to be human, fix the MISTAKE, and grant Troy Davis a reprieve. Save this man.

  673. After killing thousands of innocent people in Irak. A country that has lost all human values kills an innocent man again. There is a dead innocent man walking.

    But except for the atomic threaten, this is a country without human values by majority. So faor all of You, who believe in God, every man deserves his dignity, whether guilty of a killing or not. So if You still haven`t understood this and believe in Your God, that hopefully for You won`t exist, You will live in hell for the rest of Your life.

    Peace and dignity for all human beings, no hate, love and a civiliced society, that the U:S. is not.

    Jens Bosse from Germany

  674. As a former Georgian, I am appalled and embarrassed at the thought of this. Please stop this execution!

  675. a death penalty still is… M U R D E R!

    so no matter what, two wrongs don’t make it right, no matter which country or state commits it.

    it’s a shame we’re still having conversations about death row or lethal injection in 2011!

  676. No system involving people is infallible. When you support the death penalty you must accept its margin for error – said to be 5%

  677. We all know Casey Anthony is guilty of murdering her daughter, there is plenty of evidence to show that, and OJ is guilty of murdering Ron & Nicole, but this man is not guilty! This is the kind of stuff that makes me crazy about our “judicial system”, it fails more ofthen than not! The death penalty needs to be abolished! What is happening to this man is not right!

  678. DO NOT PUT THIS MAN TO DEATH…THERE IS TO MUCH DOUBT…THE MOTHER BELIEVES THAT BY HIM BEING PUT TO DEATH SHE WILL BE AT PEACE…WHAT TYPE OF PERSON CAN REALLY FINE PEACE BY THE DEATH OF ANOTHER…ONCE THE TRUTH COMES OUT HE DIDNT KILL THIS MAN THEN WHAT…SORRY THIS WAS A MISTAKE…NOONE DESERVES TO DIE. IF THEY CAN LET CASEY ANTHONY GO FREE WHY IS TROY DAVIS BEING PUT TO DEATH…

  679. Please. Have the heart of Christ in this matter. This is unfair and inconclusive. The same evidence that convicted him is now jumping ship, which in turn should mean that his conviction be turned. This is very heartless and cruel. Don't kill the man, please. Please.

  680. Please do not execute a QUESTIONABLE prosecution. A new trial should be set and the physical evidence that is needed can be examined.

    One innocent man’s death is one innocent death too many.

  681. STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS!!!

    THIS IS AN UNFAIR TRIAL!!!

    STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!!!

  682. Death penalty is not a democratic lord, it is murder. Mr. Governor of Georgia’s State, how do you sleep at night?

  683. nie zabijajcie tego człowieka. Nie udowodniono mu winy ponówcie proces – czy Ameryka jest barbarzyńskim krajem? Macie piękną demokrację , a zachowujecie się jak talibowie. Nawet gorzej. Don`t kill this man, please

  684. 25 minutes to go. Remember Troy is a man of 'unshakeable' faith who was reported to be calm on the occasion of the last scheduled execution. Unless there is some good news we must pray for his soul on the hour – 7pm eastern / midnight UK.

  685. As a retire police officer I say it is time for those in position to wake up and take action fast! If there is any doubt whatsoever as to whether Troy is 100% guilty, then screw all policies and stop this before it is too late.

  686. This travesty makes the US a joke in the eyes of the whole world, and make no mistake, the eyes of the whole world are on you. How can you show such hypocrisy by moralising to China, Iran, North Korea and Saudi Arabia about their human rights records when your own system is so unjust! Execution is a 19th century punishment in a 21st century world. Every US citizen should hang thier heads in shame today.You elect the politicians that maintain this barbarism and you can stop this from happening again. If you support the death penalty in any form then this is, regretably, the inevitable consequence – the death of an innocent man. Use you vote to change the system and stop being a part of this!

  687. PLEASE STOP!!! This will be an unlawful killing! Mr. Davis’ case is filled with doubt and needs to be reviewed…by law! You let Casey Anthony go free despite all the evidence against her, yet you’re adamant about executing Mr. Davis? May God bless you…because you’re going to need it.

  688. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis–this is completely inhumane. The man deserves a chance to have a second trial especially since the first trial has been cast into doubt. How can people allow this to happen! Every life is valuable! This man deserves a new trail! We need to stop this execution, now!

  689. Jasmine – apparently Obama does NOT have the power to stop the execution however I would be very dismayed if he has not made a statement. I have been writing to him for months (no reply).

    Recently he issued a statement concerning the execution of a Mexican citizen in another state. They still went ahead (against international law). At least he put forward his views. I do not think he has spoken on this case.

  690. I've covered a lot of court trials and I am stunned this man was ever arrested, charged and convicted, let along put on death row. If this goes ahead, I can't imagine how the state prosecutors, Board of Pardons and Paroles, or police investigators could ever looked their loved ones in the face again. Shame isn't a strong enough word for this.

  691. I've covered a lot of court trials and I am stunned this man was ever arrested, charged and convicted, let alone put on death row. If this goes ahead, I can't imagine how the state prosecutors, Board of Pardons and Paroles, or police investigators could ever looked their loved ones in the face again. Shame isn't a strong enough word for this.

  692. Where is this justice that America prides itself on? when theres little or no evidence against this innocent man on death row, when so many people have testified against Red Coles, wheres the fairness? what ever happened to doing the right thing? What crime did this man commit to deserve this punishment?and why are the Georgia council not taking the lack of evidence into account when the only time someone can be killed on death row is if theres solid proof against them? and why are they not taking any appeals made into consideration? isnt it their duty to serve the people? they're not doing a very good job serving if nearly 1 million people stood out against this, they have blood on their hands…

  693. Why would it take this long for these witnesses to come forward and admit that they lied under oath and that the police coerced them into saying that Troy Davis killed the state trooper? They should not have waited until the 9th hour to come forward. The fact that they are partly the cause of Troy Davis' execution, they will have a hard time living with themselves knowing that they are in huge part responsible for his execution. However, regardless of when they came forward, they did and justice must prevail and not allow Mr. Davis to be executed knowing they are not 100% sure that he is guilty. Time is running out. Please, please, please, please do not take Troy Davis' life when the evidence show so much reasonable about. I thought DNA is suppose to clear a person. Why is no one paying attention to this fact. IF the DNA shows that he could not have possibly committed this crime, then he should not be punished with his life. Please view the evidence again and reconsider the new testimony. DO NOT TAKE THE LIFE OF AN INCIDENT MAN!!!!

  694. If you execute someone without proper reason or evidence, isnt that murder,.? So you have no hard proof? People saying he obviouisly didn''t do it? Hmm…so our judicial system is full of people no better than the person who killed an innocent cop..? Smh…

  695. Legal state lynching of yet another Afrikan man, what has changed in 400 years, do not be surprised. Uprise!

  696. S’il vous plaît, au nom de la justice et des droits de l’homme, sauvez Troy Davis !

    Please, don’t kill Troy !!!

  697. This is disgusting how the legal system gets away with innocent people's murder!!! I know it is possible for them to do this because I am fighting a case against myself right now in which I did not do at all, I was nowhere near but I have been going to court for over 2 years now!!!! F*** US legal system!

  698. I do realize the media tells us only what they want to know, but from their perspective it would seem that the Troy Davis case is fraught with far too much doubt for capital punishment to be justified. If there is solid evidence linking him directly to the murder then release that information to the public!!! After all, it’s supposed to be “The State of Georgia vs Troy Davis” in court, right? That being the case, the state, and the nation, should be privy to what’s going on. If no solid evidence is available, killing Mr. Davis is as evil and wicked as whoever killed the officer in the first place. Just more innocent blood shed while the real killer remains free. That’s not justice. It’s an awful joke.

  699. human rights? spreading justice in the world? really? when you cant even judge right from wrong by sending an innocent man to his death? what human rights is America trying achieve in the world when they deny the basic human rights to their own citizens? no wonder the world is in chaos

  700. Please, stop with the "too much doubt" meme. It is a charade and anyone who know the facts of the case knows this. There were 34 witnesses at the trial and only two actually tried to recant testimony that Davis killed the officers. Neither were called at the post-trial hearing by his own legal team.
    Please, just be honest and leave the lies at home. This man is guilty as sin.

  701. Please stop this. Here is a human life, and the Georgia State want to destroy it. There are to many doubts.
    I am from Germany, I think like Joao, I want to say all american people, that here in Germany or Europe, aren´t more crimes or killings as in to USA. May be less.
    Also in West Germany the death Row is forbidden since 1949.
    Executions are terrible and against human rights.
    Not even for Troy Davis!

  702. THIS STORY HURT MA HEART ! OMG BUT THE LAW IS EVERY MAN IS [INNOCENT] UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY RIGHT! HES NOT GULITY, NO MURDER WEAPON, NO DNA NO NOTHING! [NOT GUILTY] ! ITS ASHAME HE HAS TO LOOSE HIS LIFE TO THIS … WHERE IS THE JUSTICE ! FYI EVERBODY IS ON HIS SIDE.. THERE JUST TAKING IT THIS FAR CAUSE THE MAN WAS A POLICE OFFICER ! THIS SYSTEM IS CORRUPT ! SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT! THIS MAN DOES NOT DESERVE TO DIE AND LOOSE HE LIFE FOR SOMETHING HE POSSIBLY DIDNT EVEN DO! HES ALREADY IN PRISON, ISNT THAT ENOUGH ! HE JUST DID 20 YRSAND NOW YALL WANNA TAKE HIS LIFE! THERE HAD TO OF BEEN SOME 2ND GUESSING BEACAUSE THEY WAITED THIS LONG! ! ! BACKWARDS IF YOU ASK ME.. GA NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER THIS MAN DOESNT DESERVE THIS! ALL MY HOPES AND PRAYER GOES OUT TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY & I HOPE THAT JUSTICE IS SOUGHT BEFORE 6:59PM !

    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!”
    “PLEASE STOP THE EXECTUTION OF TROY DAVIS !!

  703. How would you feel if this were you son? Would you not do everything in your power to save him, especially knowing that so many witnesses recanted their story and the DNA DOES NOT MATCH. PLEASE DO NOT EXECUTE AN INNOCENT MAN. AGAIN THIS COULD AS EASILY HAPPEN TO YOUR OWN CHILD. You do not have true evidence that Mr. Davis is quilty. He has never changed his story and he has always said he is not quilty. PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS EXECUTION!!!! How can a family have closure and have peace when an INNOCENT MAN is being EXECUTED. They will never have peace when they find out the truth and realize that an INNOCENT MAN has been EXECUTED. Don't be so quick to want anyone to pay. Make the real murderer pay. STOP THE EXECUTION! STOP THE EXECUTION! STOP THE EXECUTION!

  704. Ich bin gegen die Todesstrafe!
    Wer maßt sich hier an Gott zu spielen!
    Hier wird nun zu großer Wahrscheinlichkeit unschuldig ein Mensch hingerichtet!
    Wie kann man dies zulassen????
    Ich bin wirklich sehr sehr traurig!
    Wer Menschen zur Todesstrafe verurteilt ist selbst ein Mörder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  705. I read up on the case a few times to make sure I had a clear picture and I concur with the voice of others, we should not continue with execution with so much doubt. There are so many inmates who receive life sentences without any doubt; I just don’t understand why Troy is sentenced to death with so many missing pieces and recants from witness. I strongly feel his sentence should still be reevaluated.

  706. This is WRONG. This man should be innocent until TRULY proven guilty. The execution must be STOPPED.

  707. The USA disgusts me.
    You make war in every country around the globe to promote the human rights, and yet you delibaratly kill your citizens.
    Even the worst of criminals desn't deserve death sentence.
    People of the USA, fight against that corrupted power. Make your voice heard.
    Obama will NOT save the world. Please do something, bring back that America of dreams and hopes.

    Troy, you're probably dead by now, but I want to say that I'm really sorry I couldn't do more than writing a letter for your sake…
    Rest in peace, Troy Davis.

  708. This is wrong. This is so terrible wrong !

    How can any human being vote yes, put an end to a mans life, when there is so much doubt about his guilt ? What kind of Justice System support this madness ?

  709. You should not kill an innocent man. there is not enough evidence to condemn a man to death.

  710. this is injustice, injustice to Troy Davis, to his family and to the world. An innocent man died today, and his murders get to go home tonight and sleep well, who will bring them to justice? they accused him of being a murderer when they had no evidence and put him on death row? what does that make them?. There is no justice, no freedom, this is a silent dictatorship.

  711. He should be executed. Let the courts work. Just because a lot of others have made a big deal about this cop murderer, does not mean the courts were wrong. Let him go

  712. This hours are very painful and unbearable for me, a person who doesn't even know Mister Davis personal or ever had any contact with him and for so many others who posted on his page. How cruel and horrible this must be for him and his loved ones. Barbaric is the only word that fits.

    Shame on this system and shame on all those who could have prevent this but didn't.

    Shame on Obama who didn't take a stand, didn't use his power and influence to make the difference he promised, didn't bring the change. This should definitely be an issue in the next campaign.

    Please, America, abolish death penalty. Don't vote for candidates who are pro death penalty. How much more evidence does it need to show you that this is inhumane?

  713. @Scott, I’ve already looked however the lack of proof is something which they have admitted themselves, I cant be any plainer than that.

    And I’m glad your happy that innocent people are not attacked in their own homes and that enrages you, because I feel enraged when innocent people are attacked by the very people who are supposed to uphold their human rights and civil liberties, not kill them.

    @O'bert Ermillio you missed the whole case and tuned in for the unjust verdict

  714. I think all convicted killers should keep getting new trials until everybody is 100% certain they are guilty.

  715. Please reconsider the execution of Troy Davis. There is not enough evidence to prove that he murdered a police officer. Also, if all except two of the witnesses LIE and CONTRADICT themselves, obviously their words CANNOT be trusted. Troy Davis deserves justice which seems to elude him every time he has a glimmer of hope of evading this sad and careless judgement against him. TROY DAVIS DOES NOT DESERVE DEATH…HE DESERVES LIFE, HOPE, HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM SINCE HE IS INNOCENT OF THE CRIME. If ALL evidence against Casey Anthony point to her as the murderer of her own daughter and the law acquits her then the law should most definitely release Troy Davis since the evidence points everywhere EXCEPT towards him.

  716. @O'bert Ermillio how does two wrongs make a right? if they accused him of murder then why did they murder him? especially when the majority of the evidence DID NOT tie him to the murder? they admitted it them selves!! have you even read his story?

  717. I am a Georgia voter and the outcome of this situation will undeniably sway my vote. I am pleading with officials to halt this execution for further investigation. Please do not let us be like Texas. Do not let us murder innocent people. Let Georgia set an example of human rights for every other state in the US. Give the forensic evidence a chance here.
    You have kept this man in jail for 20 years. If he is innocent, would you also wrongfully murder him to cover that up? Let’s own up to it and do our best to reverse the damage if damage was done. If not, you prove yourself right to execute Troy Davis- but I can’t believe anyone would live their lives with contentment knowing that they may have had the blood of an innocent man on their hands. Please reconsider the evidence for Troy Davis.

  718. I think all convicted killers should be executed immediately after they were found guilty … same day.

  719. @Sarah UK

    So you were an investigator on the case? If not, you're a foolish person. He will be executed as he should be. Good riddance to a horrible murderer whose been made into a folk hero by foolish people like Sarah UK. I pity you, not the murderer!!

  720. Stop being a parrot and do your own research. This dirt bag is guilty as hell and needs to die. Defense is all smoke and mirrors typical death row BS.

    If this were my son and he was guilty I would say execute his ass.

    RIP Troy you POS.

  721. well your ovbiously as ignorant as you are stupid, have you read anything about his case? watched videos from those directly involved, such as lawyers, jurors, police? have you read the statements issued by the witnesses who said that they were eithier forced to make a statement against him? or the number of people that said Red Coles was the real murderer and identified him at the crime scene? or how the very people that convicted him also said that they didnt have enough proof on him? seriously? and how can you justify one murder with another? unless your a sick psycho with no sense of morality whatsoever. you can be the minority in this case.

  722. @ Sarah UK

    I'm ignorant or stupid? Maybe, but ol'Troy will be dead. And by the way, it's spelled "you're" not "your". Read your post above professor.

  723. There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. Stop the execution by all means.

  724. Killing a potentially innocent man is something I thought I would never see in this country. I am former member of the armed forces and served to protect the personal freedom and all US citizen. I hope my efforts weren’t in vain.

    Good bless Troy Davis!

  725. funny how you can comment on my spelling but haven't even answered a single question, quit trollin

  726. The thought of putting a man to death for a crime he MIGHT NOT HAVE COMMITTED is unthinkable. There sure seems to be a lot of room for doubt to me. DO NOT MURDER TROY DAVIS.

  727. The UK prosecutes people for defending themselves in their OWN homes. So clearly you folks care more about the criminals than victims to begin with.

    This guy was convicted like what 22 years ago? And now that the final curtain call is here, no lie will go untold to try and stop the much deserved execution.

  728. @ Sarah UK … nothing funny at all about any of this. There is never anything funny about my tax dollars being put to waste with such an execution. I'm certain there are thousands who would put this rabid dog out of his misery for free. So wasting my tax money on this slime is NOT funny at all.

  729. I have the answer.. why don't we just set him free and abolish the death penalty completely from every state and then bend over and kiss our asses good bye and say here you go criminals take over america steal what u want kill who u want and worst case scenario you spend the rest of your life behind bars while everybody else pays your bills clothes u feeds u and gives u a place to sleep! Good idea what ya think?

  730. no we don't, the government does, and by the way the government here is now giving people the right to protect themselves in self defence.

    we don't go around promoting justice and freedom while having death penalties with innocent people on it without sufficient evidence, where's the justice in that?

  731. What I mailed a few minutes ago to Juge Penny Freesemann :
    Troy Davies execution would get America dirty

    Madam,
     
    His life lies in your hands. The Honor of America lies in your hands.
    Please, do not let everybody around the world thinking bad things about your Country, saying that USA doesn’t understand Justice and Loyalty.
    Please, stop the ”legal” murder of Troy Davies.
     
    (I beg your pardon for my bad english language.)
     
    Very respectfully,
     
    Sarah H. PIERRE-LOUIS, from France.

  732. It’s unbelievable the amount of doubt that this many people are ignoring. I’m horrified with the proceedings of this case.

  733. CELIA McWEE, Georgia
    Mother of Joyce Brown, murdered
    in Florida in 1979 and also
    Mother of Jerry McWee, executed:
    in South Carolina in 2004 :

    “When they call you and say your child
    has been murdered, you don’t know
    anything about what happened. You
    don’t know if she suffered or if she
    tried to get help. That’s how it was
    with my daughter. But with my son, I
    knew that the day was coming. I knew
    that he was going to be killed. I don’t
    know how to explain to you that when
    the state executes someone, they are
    killing someone’s child.”

  734. too much doubt,
    a justice error is not reparable
    stop execution
    I hope
    Michael

  735. @Sarah UK I admire and respect you wanting justice to be done, I want the same. But the REAL facts in the case prove his guilt.

  736. @ Anna Boomgard

    The police officer was also someone's son … maybe you should consider the true victim of this circus.

  737. God is watching….dont take this man life because of a law when it appears that there is reasonable doubt

  738. @Sarah UK I'm sure you can find all that quite easily doing some Google searches 🙂

    BTW I am glad to hear you guys are changing the laws. It made me quite sad and angry to see folks over there attacked in their own homes and getting arrested for defending themselves.

  739. Please STOP the execution of Troy Davis!!!!! There is TO MUCH DOUBT!!!! Killing doesn’t solve anything anyway! If you kill Troy you are no better than any murderer!!!

  740. whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'? the ruling judge admitted that their evidence was "not iron clad"Judge Moore, ruling, August 24, 2010.

  741. @ Sarah UK … you must have missed the conclusion of the Davis trial, he was proven guilty.

  742. no death penalty for anyone.
    No to death penalty in any case.
    There is no murder justified for justice.
    Never.

  743. ♫Georgia on My Mind♪♫, – my ass!

    It will be Georgia in My Nightmare.

    Is this what you want to be remembered for?

    To: Albert Murray, Robert E. Keller, L. Gale Buckner, James E. Donald and Terry Barnard, the members of Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles:

    STOP this madness and put you back to the classification of Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

    Regards

  746. It doesn’t matter you’re beliefs, or if you think he’s guilty or not. The issue at hand is our countries justice system. If we let them take a man with no clear evidence, what does that say about our country and everything we fight and stand for? it’s already a terrible flaw that he’s been in prison for 19 years. We keep killers alive everyday. People that go on murderous rampages; even cop killers. Knowingly. Testaments and evidence. Why this one man? Use the death sentence properly if you’re using it at all. This is a step backwards for our country. Not in my name. Georgia must not execute Troy Davis.

  747. i think he should get the death penelty now stop holding it off he could not show prof that he is not guilty!!!!! get the injection

  748. @ Sarah UK … did you do as much research on the victim of this crime, Officer Mark MacPhail? Have you spoken with his mother or child? Do you even care about the victim?

  749. Why does it not surprise me that American Injustice is alive and well and still going on in the USA. I am against the Death Penalty also.

  752. Ballistic evidence presented at trial tied bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged. Davis was convicted of murder and various lesser charges, including the earlier shooting, and was sentenced to death in August 1991.

    @O’bert Ermillio you missed the whole case and tuned in for the unjust verdict

  754. how is there no evidence. Davis shot a man in the face earlier(which he was also found guily) and the same damn shell casings match by the body of the police officer. That is not circumstantial. Only because 17 years later witnesses recant statements. Again, who the hell is to say that families friends or even the naacp are not sending threats or monies to change their 17 year oldd statements? Don't be fooled. U take away the death penalty and crimes go through the roof especially forcible felonies

  755. PLEASE do NOT do this unless there is 100% without a shadow of a doubt that this man is guilty!

  756. I do not support the capital punishment… not to kill Troy Davis and to let it live, s’ you like it!

  757. 2 and half hours till justice is served! FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SENTENCING!! There are laws in place and punishment for those laws.. Im sure its all the Police fault.. His family and friends Im sure have not tried to send threats to the witness’ or their family! Always the police.. People think about the cop that died protecting these American streets! Oh yea, that is how america is, you dont think about Cops until you need one! 9/11 proved that!

  758. PLEASE DONT NOT execute this man! You do not have enough evidence to prove Troy is the killer. Half the witnesses changed their stories and another man has confessed. Georgia is still racist! Please stop the killing!

  759. I'm in favor of the death penalty, but I believe this man deserves clemency. With the recanting of eyewitnesses and claims of being pressured, there's too much doubt added to this case.

  760. @ Sarah UK:

    The unjust verdict? So you're now saying the jurors, all of them, were completely wrong and intentionally unjust? Are you serious? How about the other murder he was convicted for? And the same weapon was used to kill this police officer who was simply trying to keep a homeless man from being beat. You are so far off track it's sad … but once this TWICE convicted murderer gets the needle, you can march off to another senseless crusade.

  761. @scott and @O'bert ermilio…black man is accused of the murder of a white cop…there's no way he can be innocent! Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he's black,thats enough…I got your back buds!

  762. The standard of law is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and the standard should be much higher in the case of the death penalty. I concur that there is not even the “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” to convict Troy, let alone execute him.

  763. @ John …. these people don't care about this murderer or either of the victims … they just care about trying to get a twice convicted murderer clemency to help satisfy their own twisted version of justice. They do NOT care about the true victims

  764. @O’bert Ermillio you forgot to mention " Although the murder weapon was not recovered" and please, don't use wikipedia because anyone can edit the text in it, and if you do, make sure you don't miss out crucial information

    they also convicted him of this crime which there is lack of evidence, more than one person saying that they were threatened to testify which most of them recanted, the judge himself said that the proof was not iron clad, he even offered to do a polygraph test which they denied, if he was guilty why would he offer to do the test?

    In order to convict someone, there has to be SOLID PROOF against them and no loose strands, he had many loose strands and no solid evidence.

    And I'm not willing to believe that he killed someone else from the same State that killed him without sufficient evidence, it just doesn't add up

  765. Whoso shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. This says nothing about executing the innocent for the crimes of another individual. In fact, condemning the just and acquitting the guilty- both are abominations to the Lord. Troy Davis' case holds entirely too much doubt. Seven witnesses have spoken up about coercion during the signing of affidavits fingering Davis. Nine others fingered Sylvester Coles as the killer. The state of Georiga will be acting against humanity and justice if they take the life of a potentially innocent man.

  766. what if someone killed your family like this?
    or raped your wife/daughter/sister/wife – YOU STILL WONT SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY?

    silly liberals!

  767. @ Sarah UK … give it a break. Davis is a sadistic murderer and you support that. End of story. I can only hope that one of these animals do not get ahold of you or someone you love and do the same thing they did to this police officer, the innocent victim of a sadistic and senseless crime.

    Why don't you discuss the victim? Easier to ignore that right? Makes it easier to defend a demented, twice convicted murderer than justify what he did. Interesting.

  768. Let me make one thing clear!! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KILL HIM!!!! They are going through with sentencing! You got that people! He was convicted on evidence presented then and just becasue these scumbag witnesses are being threatened by his family and friends doesnt mean he deserves to go free with murder!! They are going through with sentencing not killing him… He killed himself when he shot a cop protecting your asses while you sleep!

  769. @ Eyjólfur B. Eyjólfsson

    Good for them. What's that got to do with this twice convicted murderer taking the life of an innocent man attempting to protect another innocent individual? He deserves the needle and will get what he deserves. HE DESERVES TO BE EXECTUTED!!!

  770. I found this somewhere on the blog of this site but can't find the exact source back but I think this is about all what is to say about this:

    " … it took being out of my context to find the most brilliant reply to one of the most frustrating and pissy questions one has to field at educational events and public forums on the death penalty…

    a gentleman in the audience was speaking about his experiences doing public education around the death penalty and a time when he received this question:

    yeah, but what if it was your mother who was killed – wouldn't you feel different about it then???

    and his reply???

    "what if your mother killed my mother – what would you have me do then?"

    I also remember a shooting that took place in a school of an Amish community. The families of the victims gathered together and collected food for a basket they brought to the parents of the shooter who also died during the shooting. The parents of the victims visited the parents of the killer and brought them their condolences because those parents lost their child too and they mourned together. The real victims are all those who lose their humanity, their empathy, their ability to see clear and are filled with bitterness and revenge.

    What they do to TD and his family is just disgusting, a disgrace to human race and I lost every respect that I had left for the US as a nation. I feel for the many good people who are forced to live there, though.

    By now it doesn't matter anymore if TD did it or not, he and his family is punished enough, suffered enough. Yes, just free him and revise this judiciary and penitentiary system, it's unprofessional and outdated. Compare it's dignity and success with those of Norway or Finland.

  771. @ Grace … what chance of survival did Davis give to either of the men he murdered?

    Do any of you bleeding-heart liberals give a damn about the victims?

  772. 20 years in jail is long time. Why put death on top of it? When there is not prof that bind the man to the crime. That is insane.

  773. O'bert Ermillio proof? and not the kind you copy and paste from wikipedia, especially when you leave out crucial information.

    both of them are victims, the police officer and Troy Davis.

    @ nick, act your age, not your shoe size

  774. @ Sarah UK. So now you resort to insulting those who care about the slain police officer? Classy ….

  775. O'bert Ermillio, if you place too much emphasis on how badly you feel for the victim and his family, you will dive right into judging someone hastily. You simply want someone to be held accountable. Troy Davis is a son. If it was your son going through this, would you feel the same way? I doubt it. Instead of focusing on feeling bad or caring about the victim and his family, facts and the incredible lack of evidence against him, in addition to the stacks of evidence against Sylvester Coles and the police (for coercing witnesses). Perhaps you should put your feelings on the back burner and consider true justice. It is likely that several of the jurors who convicted Davis jumped to the same conclusion you have come to, and probably for the same reason- just so that SOMEONE pays for the officer's murder. You said, "What about the victim? Do you even care about the victim?"
    Well, now I ask:
    What about the innocent? Do you care about justice for the innocent? If not, then hopefully you will be the next person falsely accused.

  776. Officer MacPhail rushed to the aid of a homeless man who prosecutors said Davis was bashing with a handgun after asking him for a beer. Prosecutors said Davis had a smirk on his face as he shot the officer to death in a Burger King parking lot.

    Davis is a sick animal who needs put to death NOW!!!!

  777. John you have used too much space. I dont not see many agreeing with you.
    Get OFF the site. You and your likes give humans a bad name.

  778. @ Brian ….. you just said "Instead of focusing on feeling bad or caring about the victim and his family" …. really? So your true agenda surfaces. Thanks for finally being honest with everyone here.

    However, I do feel bad for the victims and both of their families whether you think that's a bad thing or not. Sick, sick, sick!!!

  779. if you read my previous post I did say very clearly and in plain and simply English that both the police man and Troy Davis were victims, I cant put it simpler than that.

    No, I'm not insulting someone who defended the slain police officer, I'm insulting someone who was being racist against black people when he said:

    "lack man is accused of the murder of a white cop…there’s no way he can be innocent! Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he’s black,thats enough"

    or did you not read what he said either?

  780. I read news about that Troy wanted to do the test to see if he tells the truth. Then why is he not alow to show he is innocent? This case is not ok.

  781. This guy nerves has lived through nearly twenty years of stress. There’s no real proof – this execution CANNOT be allowed to go ahead – I follow this from France and cannot understand your countries’ policies – there’s loads of doubt in this case but the state is going to kill him???? How can this situation even exist???? STOP THIS EXECUTION

  782. This case needs to be looked at again at the very least. It’s obviously falling apart, if there was even a case to begin with… Executing this man now, would be sanctioned murder by the state.

  783. Hello, Gouverneur of Georgia

    They are the only person able to decide on the life and death of Troy Davis.

    You can breathe life any human being. You can not get love. But you could just allow Troy Davis a process.

    Be a good person and grant Troy Davis’s life. Their policy spieglet in the deeds of the people informed.

    I trust in God and your wise decision.

    Help Troy Davis

  784. John I am white but my man is BLACK. People can live in peace. CAN YOU? I don´t believe the police mans family is happy when they put a innocent man to death. Do you believe so???? No thanks. Right shall be right.

  785. "Officer MacPhail rushed to the aid of a homeless man who prosecutors said Davis was bashing with a handgun after asking him for a beer. Prosecutors said Davis had a smirk on his face as he shot the officer to death in a Burger King parking lot."

    @O'bert Ermillio, that so called 'evidence' was weak in pinning Davis to it, in fact and many had testified to this including the man himself, that it was Red Coles who committed that assault and murder, to the point where his own family member testified against him and was assaulted after by Red.

  786. @ O’bert Ermillio, oh, so you agree with his racist slander against black people? mate, I'm not losing it, you evidently have

  787. @ Sarah UK … the evidence was not that weak was it? He's about to be executed thank goodness.

  788. If there is not 100% proof that this man is guilty, then the death penalty is wrong!!!
    If it is wrong to kill, why do we allow the state to kill?

  789. Will someone PLEASE explain how the bullet casings at the officer’s shooting scene EXACTLY MATCH the casing from the scene of Davis’ earlier (that afternoon) shooting of Michael Cooper? Davis was the only person at both scenes and the bullet casings exactly match. Davis has been convicted of Cooper’s shooting, and nobody has recanted any testimon in that case.

    Will somebody PLEASE EXPLAIN!?

    That said, I oppose the death penalty, for ANYBODY! But please note – Troy Davis is NOT innocent.

  790. Since 1970 twentythree people were executed in the USA. but later turned that they were not gulty.
    That´s really terrible!

  791. @ Sarah UK

    Anyone with much education knows that rant was a plant for followers like yourself. So first you insult those who care for the victims and now you lower yourself to racisim. Because the victims were white and the murderer is black, then it must be racisim huh? OK, it that's what you want to stoop to, so be it. Shame on you.

  792. Stress? What stress? Hell I been feeding him, taking care of his doctor bills, paying his light bill and water bill….. what stress

  793. spare this man – not only is he arguably innocent – it is an inhuman process you are following. Civilisation has its hallmarks – and murder is not one! FREE TROY DAVIS

  794. Too much doubt…how would you feel about killing a potentially innocent man? Unless everyone is 100% doubt-free, the death penalty should not be used.

  795. The best part about tonight is that Troy Davis will finally been executed. Wonderful, just wonderful!!!

    Goodnight, sleep tight and know we're ridding this world from another hideous murderer to protect those of you who think Davis is a victim and fail to care a bit about the two who he murdered. Bye bye and goodby sadistic murderer Davis.

  796. It is extremely sad to see someone judged based upon limited evidence and sentenced to death. If you are wrong, then you are a murderer if you kill an innocent man. The death blood with be on your hands and on your heart. Please do not execute this man.

    Here is how our society demonstrates double standards. You sentence a man to time in prison for dog-fighting and take away his life for a temporary time period. You call this justice!

    However, you have not idea whether this man is innocent or not, but you continue with the scheduled execution. A human life does weight as much as a dog’s life! What kinda of world do we live in?

  797. THIS IS NOT A SHOW OF JUSTICE RATHER A PRIME EXAMPLE THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED…THE SOUTH REMAINS THE SOUTH, THE MENTALITY, THE RACISM, THE BIGOTRY, THE LYNCHING, THE LIES, THE ILLEGAL TREATMENT OF COLORED FOLKS, AND MOST OF ALL “HATE”…OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WILL NOT ONLY FAIL, BUT IT WILL ALSO TELL US THAT “WE MIGHT AS WELL TAKE JUSTICE INTO OUR OWN HANDS”…YOU KILL US AND WE KILL YOU AND LET’S HAVE A SHOWDOWN….LAST ONE STANDING WINS….IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO…PRIMITIVE AND WILD? WHY CAN’T WE ALLOW A MAN THE SAME RIGHT ALL WHITE FOLKS HAVE? WHY DO WHITE FOLKS GET OFF NO MATTER WHAT? DONT COMPLAIN WHEN RIOTING BEGINS BECAUSE OF OUR DEEPLY EMBEDDED ANGER DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SYSTEM THAT ONLY PERTAINS TO YOU AND NOT US. I AM DISGUSTED.

  798. Interesting Brian and John it seems like you know so much about this crime so it´s maybe you that did it????
    What if people said you did it and it was false.
    How do you prof you are innocent? When the law system not care of evidence of prof that you did the crime?
    Would you like me to stand up and fight for your right as long as the prof is not enough about that you did the crime?
    or shall I be like you? that want people to die without prof of evidence that they realy did the crime? I want the real person that did the crime shall be punished. Not someone that seems to be innocent to be put to death for a crime it seems he not have done.

  799. @ Ellie … the two victims that Davis murdered were not "potentially" innocent, they were fully, 100% innocent. Have you thought about them? Hmmm? No, doubt it. Oh well, it's your conscience.

  800. @Grace did officer mark get a second chance?
    @Sarah u wanna throw off on wikipedia but youtube is credible. Gimmie a break

  801. Marita first off I never mentioned color, u did. And for ur information I am BLACK AND MY WIFE! SO WHAT THE HELL DOES COLOR GOT TO WIT DIS CASE?He killed somebody and that’s that

  802. thank you for proving how close minded you actually are.

    i have already said for the third time now that both the police man and Troy Davis were victims, tell me what part of that don't you understand?

    and how exactly am i being racist? it doesn't matter what race you are if you murder someone you should be convicted, Unfortunately, Troy Davis was wrongly accused and the killer walks free.How does that justify killing Troy Davis? Doesn't an eye for an eye make the world blind?

    i seem you accusing me of being a racist when i was merely quoting Nick who said "Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he’s black,thats enough"

    If you don't think that's racist or offensive then you really do have problems

  803. Was you there? Then show the evidence instead of writing stupid things here. very good that you pay his bills. you can continue with that.

  804. @ John, the video on youtube was posted by Amnesty International with interviews from experts on the case, Jurors, witnesses and police who were also all involved, in what way exactly is that not a reliable source of information exactly? or have you not watched the videos?

  805. and yes I believe color is important in this. I believe he would have been a free man if he would be white when they have not prof he did the crime

  806. @Marita that is by far the dumbest thing on here. Yea tell everyone I did it! I have a good alibi, I was 8 years old and lived no where near savannah so yea go ahead.

  807. To John,
    It is not clear whether Color has anything to do with this case or not. What is clear is that the complete lack of valid evidence in this case, is no basis whatsoever for executing anyone! Considering that in this case, the likely murderer, who is known by name to the authorities, is now free and walking the streets of America, while this man is executed for his crime, this execution amounts to a human sacrifice to honour the American “Justice System”. Executing any man, whether Troy Davis or anyone else, for a crime they did not commit is morally disgusting and a disgrace to the US, who claims to have a ‘moral standard’ to lift to the world! No longer! Executing the innocent, the US has joined the likes of Iran, China and North Korea in their crimes against the innocent. The family of the executed must take this case to sue for damages for the execution of an innocent man, when the authorities know that the confiction is unsafe, most of the witnesses admitting that they were coerced to give false testimonies!!

  808. GOD WILL JUDGE THIS SITUATION DAVIS! THE LORD WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG! KEEP ON TRUSTING HIM WE ARE ALL WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN’T SEE US!
    WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.
    YOU WILL NOT DIE BUT LIVE TO DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
    TRUST GOD HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE AND NO MAN CAN STAND BEFORE HIM!

    PLEASE FREEEE TROY,EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT HE IS INNOCENT! DON’T BE STUBBORN, EVERYBODY IS BEGGING PLEEEEEAAAAASE!!!!!!!

    Audrey 🙁

  809. I AM BLACK and this racism card is getting old. I’m not colored nor am I a nigga! I am good ole black folk just like they is good ole white folk! The racism comes from sorry ass white folk AND sorry ass black folk! They is crap in the caucasion side and they is crap in the black side…. the choice is how YOU choose to fit in.. we have a black president, where do u think he would be if he and his family sat and cried about racism? Leave racism out of it

  810. GOD WILL JUDGE THIS SITUATION DAVIS! THE LORD WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG! KEEP ON TRUSTING HIM WE ARE ALL WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN’T SEE US!
    WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.YOU WILL NOT DIE BUT LIVE TO DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
    TRUST GOD HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE AND NO MAN CAN STAND BEFORE HIM!

    PLEASE FREEEE TROY,EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT HE IS INNOCENT! DON’T BE STUBBORN, EVERYBODY IS BEGGING PLEEEEEAAAAASE!!!!!!!

    Audrey 🙁

  811. stopper cette aberration !! L’ amérique paiera rapidement de ses crimes raciaux !
    Elle prétend être maitresse du monde mais le monde verra son visage !
    Sans preuve, personne ne peut tuer ! Pourquoi préciser que c’est un policier blanc? noir ou blanc , tout policier est et reste policier de ses fonctions !!!
    La patience est le meilleur des conseiller . le monde entier vous demande d’arrêter ce crime injuste. Un JUSTICE EST JUSTE !!! (ET NON INJUSTE)
    VOUS TRAVAILLER POUR QUI SI VOUS N’ETES PLUS JUSTE ?????????
    Le monde entier se pose cette question mais cette fois c’est la Justice divine qui s’occupera de parler …

  812. I have read most of the comments so far and can only say this..
    The executioner and fans of it are damaged people in a way that they cannot feel what would normally be felt. And that is what normally prevents this kind of mistake. So we have the job of intervening on their behalf. To do the feeling for them. We allowed people who need this kind of help be in charge of things. Now we are upset when they do what they naturally do. Our fault I think?

  813. @sarah…i wrote that comment to see who would step up against it…and you did, i just wanted to make sure of what o"bert and his friends are thinking, and i believe that whoever didnt take a stand against my previous comment is racist, and their racism is the only reason that they are supporting the execution of this man. lets face it: lack of evidence, 7 on 9 witnesses said they were forced to make the statement against him, wich is enough for a new investigation…So HOW CAN SOMEON SUPPORT THIS EXECUTION? I feel bad for the victim and his familly, we all do. but this is not enough to take the risk to kill Troy while he might be innocent! Cassey Ant. was accused of the murder of her own daughter, they let her go. reason:lack of evidence.SO…

  814. I’M OK WITH WHAT YOU ARE ALSO SAYING FREDERIQUE C’EST ECOEURANT DE VOIR QUE L’HOMME VEUT SE MESURER A DIEU ET JUGER!

  815. I join all reactions of you people from the States that death penalty is wrong, and that in Troys case it is dubble unfair because he is in prison 22 years! For something which he did not do as it seems. It would be an atrocity to end his lifein this way: murder by the state Georgia. I do hope the viglils go well forth.
    From Europe , from Holland I say: I and all my friends and churchmembers are with you now in hope and prayer. That we may have good news before 7 pm,,
    here : 1 am. namely that Troy will live!!!! Wish byou all much strength!!!

  816. I urge to you to please do what is in your power to stop the execution of Troy Davis. There’s no physical evidence proven that he committed the crime he is now being executed for. Seven of nine witnesses has withdrawn their testimonies. There are so many doubs in his case that you can simply not go ahead with this execution! The blood of a possible innocent man will now be on the hands of the men who could stop it, but choosed not too….US is suppose to be a leading country in the world, yet to this day in the year of 2011 you are executing citizens who hasn’t even been given a fair trial! The eyes of the world are now watching you, please show us that US is not a country where people are being treated unjustified, by racial grounds. Please show us that you’ve come further than that, that US is a country where all men are being treated equally and were you have a fair, safe legal system… Please, please, I beg, stop this execution now..
    Best regards,
    Hanna Stenberg, Sweden.

  817. John if someone is stupid then its you. Can´t you read "NOT IN OUR NAME" so leave this place since you want blood on your hands. and we do NOT

  818. I agree with you 100 % Alex. People are arguing over whnat they read or seen on the internet. Most of what the news media displays cannot be relied on. If people weren't there or have the ORIGINAL statements, affidavit, testimonies, eye witnesses, etc., no one can be accurate of what happened. In the 1950's or before up until now race have played a big part in the southern states and will continue to. So I DON'T want to see a website by a republican or democrat, or quotations from ANY website unless it's showing me THE REAL FACTS AND EVIDENCE in this case. If any link you post doesn't provide that then it's not worth my time looking at it. Guilty or not guilty he deserves a FAIR and HONEST trial. The website http://deathpenaltyinfo.org shows that the public, including the victims families wouldn't even want to see a dealth penalty. BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! The court refuses to block the execution of Troy Davis!!!!! So he will be lethally injected, May GOD be with him. To all have a goodnight

  819. I agree with you 100 % Alex. People are arguing over what they have read or seen on the internet. Most of what the news media displays cannot be relied on.

  820. I pray for Troy Davis. I believe he is innocent since he wanted to do the test to prof that he tells the truth. Right now I wish for a miracle. People with power do something about it.

  821. It’s wrong to execute people, especially in a case like this where there are so many doubts. The US claims to be a democracy and to have respect for human rights, show us that and stop this execution. Please.

    /Maria, Sweden

  822. Who addressed Hartmut's comment???? No one, and he has stated a FACT, not opinion. If Troy Davis is guilty as they make him seem, he would've been executed. It's obvious that there is a hold up for some type of reason. Justice will reveal itself and the truth ALWAYS come to light, whether 22 years or 50 years. The truth will be told

  823. Please set a good example for those countries that still maintains capital punishment like mine–Japan. Do not execute someone who hasn’t been proven guilty by fair trials. If the US could stop this execution, then others may learn from it and follow a suit.

    Besides all the lack of a clear evidence, how do you justify taking the life of a man who is accused of taking someone’s life? I don’t understand.

  824. Une pensée pour celui qui, à 1h du matin ( heure local en Belgique), payera encore de sa vie les erreurs des enquêtes judiciaires bâclées. Qui sont ces gens qui décident de mettre fin à la vie d’un homme. Que les pays se mobilisent et demande la grâce pour Troy Davis.

  825. This is an injustice. His human rights are being violated. He should not be executed if there is any shadow of a doubt. Please stop this!!

  826. comment un pays dit civilisé peut encore comettre de tels actes de barbarie. Troy Davis est victime du racisme, d’une justice bâclée et d’un pays qui ne mérite pas toujours sa place dans le monde des démocraties

  827. This doesn’t make sense that in 2011 something like this could even take place. Its sad to say that this is the world we live in today, one where a man can be convicted and sentenced to death without a fair trial. Justice is a word used often in America but if this goes through the word would be tarnished for ever. So I ask from everyone to pray for justice and to put a halt to the execution of Troy Davis.

  828. STOP this execution, and give this man a new trial, the same way you did the first time around. Call the same witnesses, and see what the jury says now! If a child who has been molested recounts, they close the case, but when it comes to Troy Davis they don't want to hear it! If there is no witnesses, then their is NO crime! Innocent until PROVEN guilty, well PROVE it, show some physical evidence. Oh I forgot you DONT have any, and NO witnesses now either! Get real Georgia, what do you have to loose, other than giving a man back his life that your system might have taken away for NO reason! Georgia has a flawed judicial system in more way than one, and I know first hand in Georgia your not innocent until proven guilty you are guilty until proven innocent!

  829. As a former Georgian, I am appalled and embarrassed at the thought of this. Please stop this execution!

  830. While not a citizen of the US, I have watched the recent developments in this case with absolute horror. The international community, and particularly some of the closest allies of the U.S, have condemned this course of action. Indeed, governors within the U.S have spoken against it. Everything about this case is unconscionable yet the state of Georgia insists on carrying out this horrific sentence based on little substantial evidence.

    This action does nothing to support the image of the U.S internationally, and Georgia in particular. This merely confirms stereotypes about institutionalised racism and redneck southern states. The U.S has an unpopular image in many parts of the world… and this does nothing to help it. If the U.S, as a nation-state, truly supports the concepts of liberty and equality that it claims to champion then the execution of Troy Davis should not be conducted.

    Depressingly, I feel it will happen – and the U.S, domestically and internationally, will be worse of for it. White hoods and burning crosses much?

  831. No system involving people is infallible. When you support the death penalty you must accept its margin for error – said to be 5%

  832. DO NOT PUT THIS MAN TO DEATH…THERE IS TO MUCH DOUBT…THE MOTHER BELIEVES THAT BY HIM BEING PUT TO DEATH SHE WILL BE AT PEACE…WHAT TYPE OF PERSON CAN REALLY FINE PEACE BY THE DEATH OF ANOTHER…ONCE THE TRUTH COMES OUT HE DIDNT KILL THIS MAN THEN WHAT…SORRY THIS WAS A MISTAKE…NOONE DESERVES TO DIE. IF THEY CAN LET CASEY ANTHONY GO FREE WHY IS TROY DAVIS BEING PUT TO DEATH…

  833. Please. Have the heart of Christ in this matter. This is unfair and inconclusive. The same evidence that convicted him is now jumping ship, which in turn should mean that his conviction be turned. This is very heartless and cruel. Don’t kill the man, please. Please.

  834. nie zabijajcie tego człowieka. Nie udowodniono mu winy ponówcie proces – czy Ameryka jest barbarzyńskim krajem? Macie piękną demokrację , a zachowujecie się jak talibowie. Nawet gorzej. Don`t kill this man, please

  835. I agree with you 100 % Alex. People are arguing over whnat they read or seen on the internet. Most of what the news media displays cannot be relied on.

So I DON'T want to see a website by a republican or democrat, or quotations from ANY website unless it's showing me THE REAL FACTS AND EVIDENCE in this case. If any link you post doesn't provide that then it's not worth my time looking at it. Guilty or not guilty he deserves a FAIR and HONEST trial. The website http://deathpenaltyinfo.org shows that the public, including the victims families wouldn't even want to see a dealth penalty. BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! The court refuses to block the execution of Troy Davis!!!!! So he will be lethally injected, May GOD be with him. To all have a goodnight

  839. 25 minutes to go. Remember Troy is a man of ‘unshakeable’ faith who was reported to be calm on the occasion of the last scheduled execution. Unless there is some good news we must pray for his soul on the hour – 7pm eastern / midnight UK.

  840. As a retire police officer I say it is time for those in position to wake up and take action fast! If there is any doubt whatsoever as to whether Troy is 100% guilty, then screw all policies and stop this before it is too late.

  841. This travesty makes the US a joke in the eyes of the whole world, and make no mistake, the eyes of the whole world are on you. How can you show such hypocrisy by moralising to China, Iran, North Korea and Saudi Arabia about their human rights records when your own system is so unjust! Execution is a 19th century punishment in a 21st century world. Every US citizen should hang thier heads in shame today.You elect the politicians that maintain this barbarism and you can stop this from happening again. If you support the death penalty in any form then this is, regretably, the inevitable consequence – the death of an innocent man. Use you vote to change the system and stop being a part of this!

  842. Please stop the execution of Troy Davis–this is completely inhumane. The man deserves a chance to have a second trial especially since the first trial has been cast into doubt. How can people allow this to happen! Every life is valuable! This man deserves a new trail! We need to stop this execution, now!

  843. Jasmine – apparently Obama does NOT have the power to stop the execution however I would be very dismayed if he has not made a statement. I have been writing to him for months (no reply).

    Recently he issued a statement concerning the execution of a Mexican citizen in another state. They still went ahead (against international law). At least he put forward his views. I do not think he has spoken on this case.

  844. I’ve covered a lot of court trials and I am stunned this man was ever arrested, charged and convicted, let along put on death row. If this goes ahead, I can’t imagine how the state prosecutors, Board of Pardons and Paroles, or police investigators could ever looked their loved ones in the face again. Shame isn’t a strong enough word for this.

  845. I’ve covered a lot of court trials and I am stunned this man was ever arrested, charged and convicted, let alone put on death row. If this goes ahead, I can’t imagine how the state prosecutors, Board of Pardons and Paroles, or police investigators could ever looked their loved ones in the face again. Shame isn’t a strong enough word for this.

  846. The system gave him every single chance of appeal. He has been convicted, and his appeals denied. He will be executed. Stop sniveling and go prevent crime, all of you bored do-gooders. And support your local law enforcement, because you are all to weak and indecisive to protect yourselves.

  847. Where is this justice that America prides itself on? when theres little or no evidence against this innocent man on death row, when so many people have testified against Red Coles, wheres the fairness? what ever happened to doing the right thing? What crime did this man commit to deserve this punishment?and why are the Georgia council not taking the lack of evidence into account when the only time someone can be killed on death row is if theres solid proof against them? and why are they not taking any appeals made into consideration? isnt it their duty to serve the people? they’re not doing a very good job serving if nearly 1 million people stood out against this, they have blood on their hands…

  848. Why would it take this long for these witnesses to come forward and admit that they lied under oath and that the police coerced them into saying that Troy Davis killed the state trooper? They should not have waited until the 9th hour to come forward. The fact that they are partly the cause of Troy Davis’ execution, they will have a hard time living with themselves knowing that they are in huge part responsible for his execution. However, regardless of when they came forward, they did and justice must prevail and not allow Mr. Davis to be executed knowing they are not 100% sure that he is guilty. Time is running out. Please, please, please, please do not take Troy Davis’ life when the evidence show so much reasonable about. I thought DNA is suppose to clear a person. Why is no one paying attention to this fact. IF the DNA shows that he could not have possibly committed this crime, then he should not be punished with his life. Please view the evidence again and reconsider the new testimony. DO NOT TAKE THE LIFE OF AN INCIDENT MAN!!!!

  849. If you execute someone without proper reason or evidence, isnt that murder,.? So you have no hard proof? People saying he obviouisly didn”t do it? Hmm…so our judicial system is full of people no better than the person who killed an innocent cop..? Smh…

  850. This is disgusting how the legal system gets away with innocent people’s murder!!! I know it is possible for them to do this because I am fighting a case against myself right now in which I did not do at all, I was nowhere near but I have been going to court for over 2 years now!!!! F*** US legal system!

  851. A R Says:
    September 21st, 2011 at 9:50 pm

    Who addressed Hartmut’s comment???? No one, and he has stated a FACT, not opinion. If Troy Davis is guilty as they make him seem, he would’ve been executed. It’s obvious that there is a hold up for some type of reason. Justice will reveal itself and the truth ALWAYS come to light, whether 22 years or 50 years. The truth will be told

    I agree, justice will be done. Looks like Troy is about to take a dirt nap, appeal denied. Good night dirt bag!

  852. In the end all you have achieved with your appeals is more pain and suffering for Troy Davis, his family and more importantly Mark MacPhail's family.

    The politics of this case, the misinformation and general avoidance of the facts (Davis shot another person in the face with the same gun that night) caused delay, after delay, after delay. How cruel is it, due mainly to your actions, to have Davis lay there waiting again….likely with a needle in his arm….

    You prove again there is no such thing as altruism. You follow your own agenda without any regard for the people who deserve justice and assistance.. the victims of crimes. What are their rights, are they not humans? The criminal makes a choice knowing the outcome.

    It is all sooo sad. Everyone had to pay a price.

    There is a universal justice above us all and Mark MacPhail will be waiting on the other side and soon the real justice begins….

    To those who want to believe Troy Davis was innocent. I say to you go and fined the seven people who convicted him to death; the witnesses with their "lies".

  853. human rights? spreading justice in the world? really? when you cant even judge right from wrong by sending an innocent man to his death? what human rights is America trying achieve in the world when they deny the basic human rights to their own citizens? no wonder the world is in chaos

  854. You cannot kill a man who may be innocent. PLEASE!!! It’s barbaric. And wrong.

  855. He should be executed within 5 minutes as they have denied final appeal. Its just weird that it has been appealed by several different courts at different times and all upheld the same decision. Guilty! Just sayin

  856. Please, stop with the “too much doubt” meme. It is a charade and anyone who know the facts of the case knows this. There were 34 witnesses at the trial and only two actually tried to recant testimony that Davis killed the officers. Neither were called at the post-trial hearing by his own legal team.
    Please, just be honest and leave the lies at home. This man is guilty as sin.

  857. Stop the excution don't kill an innocent man if you don't have all the proof he is God's children no man should be killed for something they didn't do don't be crule to this brother please have mercy on him don't do it it just aint right.

  858. The system is flawed. Hopefully all of you posting your joy over this murder, oops I mean execution will never find yourself in a place where such injustice is served. We are no better than the man who really did kill Officer McPhail.

    Fred – as the sister of a police officer, I completely support law enforcement…I'm not weak and I will happily defend my strong and decisive self any day….

  859. I dont care what the media says. I dont know weather he is guilty or not. I do know that many people including an x president, the pope, a x governor and many civil rights groups that felt the was a reasonable doubt. I am against the death penalty any way because of all the people who have been convicted that are not guilty. Also as far as I know there are no millionaires on death row. The ability for someone with very little resource to pay for a good defense and a wealthy person to get a wonderful defense is to great a discrepancy. Nothing against the wealthy, just saying in such an important thing everyone should get equal representation.

  860. I AM A JAMAICAN STUDENT STUDYING LAW AND I HAVE NOT THE EXACT DETAILS OF THIS CASE BUT THE FEW READINGS THAT I HAVE READ IS THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE JUDGE ARE TRYING TO PUT AN INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH WITH A WEAK CASE THAT IS INHUMAN TREATMENT AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL POLICE FORCING WITNESSES TO LIE IN COURT JUST SO THEIR COLLEGE'S KILLER CAN STILL BE OUT THERE WALKING AND AN INNOCENT MAN CAN GO TO DEATH. IT IS BETTER TO RELEASE 10 GUILTY MEN ON THE STREET THAN TO PUT ONE INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH!!!! I THOUGHT AMERICA HAD A BETTER JUSTICE SYSTEM MY PRAYERS ARE WITH MR DAVIS' FAMILY STOP THE EXECUTION PUT HIM IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE IF THAT BE THE CASE TAKE HIM OFF DEATH ROW!!!!!!!!!!!

  861. How would you feel if this were you son? Would you not do everything in your power to save him, especially knowing that so many witnesses recanted their story and the DNA DOES NOT MATCH. PLEASE DO NOT EXECUTE AN INNOCENT MAN. AGAIN THIS COULD AS EASILY HAPPEN TO YOUR OWN CHILD. You do not have true evidence that Mr. Davis is quilty. He has never changed his story and he has always said he is not quilty. PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS EXECUTION!!!! How can a family have closure and have peace when an INNOCENT MAN is being EXECUTED. They will never have peace when they find out the truth and realize that an INNOCENT MAN has been EXECUTED. Don’t be so quick to want anyone to pay. Make the real murderer pay. STOP THE EXECUTION! STOP THE EXECUTION! STOP THE EXECUTION!

  862. Raising Doubt! You can't even get the date of this brave Officer's death right. 8/19/1989. Eye for an Eye. Justice served.

  863. Here is the thing…I'm not saying he's not gilty…I'm saying that he was not ABSOLUTELY PROVEN guilty and until there is absolutely no doubt he should not be . You would think that the police AND the family of the officer killed would want to make COMPLETELY SURE that they aren't killing an innocent man and allowing a killer not only to go free but to go free without even a hint of the justice that should be served.

  864. This is WRONG. This man should be innocent until TRULY proven guilty. The execution must be STOPPED.

  865. SHAME ON YOU usa!

    YOU TORTURED AGAIN!

    YOU'LL KILL AGAIN!

    YOU FAILED AGAIN!

    Go in peace Troy, you will NOT be forgotten!

  866. The USA disgusts me.
    You make war in every country around the globe to promote the human rights, and yet you delibaratly kill your citizens.
    Even the worst of criminals desn’t deserve death sentence.
    People of the USA, fight against that corrupted power. Make your voice heard.
    Obama will NOT save the world. Please do something, bring back that America of dreams and hopes.

    Troy, you’re probably dead by now, but I want to say that I’m really sorry I couldn’t do more than writing a letter for your sake…
    Rest in peace, Troy Davis.

  867. This is wrong. This is so terrible wrong !

    How can any human being vote yes, put an end to a mans life, when there is so much doubt about his guilt ? What kind of Justice System support this madness ?

  868. You should not kill an innocent man. there is not enough evidence to condemn a man to death.

  869. this is injustice, injustice to Troy Davis, to his family and to the world. An innocent man died today, and his murders get to go home tonight and sleep well, who will bring them to justice? they accused him of being a murderer when they had no evidence and put him on death row? what does that make them?. There is no justice, no freedom, this is a silent dictatorship.

  870. He should be executed. Let the courts work. Just because a lot of others have made a big deal about this cop murderer, does not mean the courts were wrong. Let him go

  871. This hours are very painful and unbearable for me, a person who doesn’t even know Mister Davis personal or ever had any contact with him and for so many others who posted on his page. How cruel and horrible this must be for him and his loved ones. Barbaric is the only word that fits.

    Shame on this system and shame on all those who could have prevent this but didn’t.

    Shame on Obama who didn’t take a stand, didn’t use his power and influence to make the difference he promised, didn’t bring the change. This should definitely be an issue in the next campaign.

    Please, America, abolish death penalty. Don’t vote for candidates who are pro death penalty. How much more evidence does it need to show you that this is inhumane?

  872. I think all convicted killers should keep getting new trials until everybody is 100% certain they are guilty.

  873. @O’bert Ermillio how does two wrongs make a right? if they accused him of murder then why did they murder him? especially when the majority of the evidence DID NOT tie him to the murder? they admitted it them selves!! have you even read his story?

  874. I think all convicted killers should be executed immediately after they were found guilty … same day.

  875. @Sarah UK

    So you were an investigator on the case? If not, you’re a foolish person. He will be executed as he should be. Good riddance to a horrible murderer whose been made into a folk hero by foolish people like Sarah UK. I pity you, not the murderer!!

  876. Stop being a parrot and do your own research. This dirt bag is guilty as hell and needs to die. Defense is all smoke and mirrors typical death row BS.

    If this were my son and he was guilty I would say execute his ass.

    RIP Troy you POS.

  877. well your ovbiously as ignorant as you are stupid, have you read anything about his case? watched videos from those directly involved, such as lawyers, jurors, police? have you read the statements issued by the witnesses who said that they were eithier forced to make a statement against him? or the number of people that said Red Coles was the real murderer and identified him at the crime scene? or how the very people that convicted him also said that they didnt have enough proof on him? seriously? and how can you justify one murder with another? unless your a sick psycho with no sense of morality whatsoever. you can be the minority in this case.

  878. @ Sarah UK

    I’m ignorant or stupid? Maybe, but ol’Troy will be dead. And by the way, it’s spelled “you’re” not “your”. Read your post above professor.

  879. funny how you can comment on my spelling but haven’t even answered a single question, quit trollin

  880. The thought of putting a man to death for a crime he MIGHT NOT HAVE COMMITTED is unthinkable. There sure seems to be a lot of room for doubt to me. DO NOT MURDER TROY DAVIS.

  881. The UK prosecutes people for defending themselves in their OWN homes. So clearly you folks care more about the criminals than victims to begin with.

    This guy was convicted like what 22 years ago? And now that the final curtain call is here, no lie will go untold to try and stop the much deserved execution.

  882. @ Sarah UK … nothing funny at all about any of this. There is never anything funny about my tax dollars being put to waste with such an execution. I’m certain there are thousands who would put this rabid dog out of his misery for free. So wasting my tax money on this slime is NOT funny at all.

  883. I have the answer.. why don’t we just set him free and abolish the death penalty completely from every state and then bend over and kiss our asses good bye and say here you go criminals take over america steal what u want kill who u want and worst case scenario you spend the rest of your life behind bars while everybody else pays your bills clothes u feeds u and gives u a place to sleep! Good idea what ya think?

  884. no we don’t, the government does, and by the way the government here is now giving people the right to protect themselves in self defence.

    we don’t go around promoting justice and freedom while having death penalties with innocent people on it without sufficient evidence, where’s the justice in that?

  885. CELIA McWEE, Georgia
    Mother of Joyce Brown, murdered
    in Florida in 1979 and also
    Mother of Jerry McWee, executed:
    in South Carolina in 2004 :

    “When they call you and say your child
    has been murdered, you don’t know
    anything about what happened. You
    don’t know if she suffered or if she
    tried to get help. That’s how it was
    with my daughter. But with my son, I
    knew that the day was coming. I knew
    that he was going to be killed. I don’t
    know how to explain to you that when
    the state executes someone, they are
    killing someone’s child.”

  886. @Sarah UK I admire and respect you wanting justice to be done, I want the same. But the REAL facts in the case prove his guilt.

  887. Why is everyone saying the courts and police and judges should make sure absolutely sure he was guilty before the execution. My friends evidently they did! Not one time did a judge get on here and say blah blah blah. No it was a few weak minded jurors that have never been in a judicial hearing. Judges know what goes on. Two shootings different locations SAME shell casings then fled to atlanta. It was weak americans that got all this bullshit started. For get about the dead officer, he's been gone 22 years, what was his name again? U know I'm telling the truth. But oh this poor pitiful black man been in prison all these years,these 7 ppl said the police made them say that stuff! By god he is not guilty let him go! Come on people, do what judges have to do. Make a decision based on all evidence presented not 7 recanted less than credible statements. 3 of the 7 were friends, not to mention 17 yrs later. Its over now, so I guess ppl will find something else to complain about

  888. @ Anna Boomgard

    The police officer was also someone’s son … maybe you should consider the true victim of this circus.

  889. @Sarah UK I’m sure you can find all that quite easily doing some Google searches 🙂

    BTW I am glad to hear you guys are changing the laws. It made me quite sad and angry to see folks over there attacked in their own homes and getting arrested for defending themselves.

  890. What a dark day for the USA, a country that I travelled to so many times and that I love! I say so since I'm from a country where the death penalty has been abolished many, many years ago (Switzerland). I'm sad together with the family of Troy Davis.

  891. whatever happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty’? the ruling judge admitted that their evidence was “not iron clad”Judge Moore, ruling, August 24, 2010.

  892. @ Sarah UK … you must have missed the conclusion of the Davis trial, he was proven guilty.

  893. i think he should get the death penelty now stop holding it off he could not show prof that he is not guilty!!!!! get the injection

  894. @ Sarah UK … did you do as much research on the victim of this crime, Officer Mark MacPhail? Have you spoken with his mother or child? Do you even care about the victim?

  895. @Scott, I’ve already looked however the lack of proof is something which they have admitted themselves, I cant be any plainer than that.

    And I’m glad your happy that innocent people are not attacked in their own homes and that enrages you, because I feel enraged when innocent people are attacked by the very people who are supposed to uphold their human rights and civil liberties, not kill them.

    @O’bert Ermillio you missed the whole case and tuned in for the unjust verdict

  896. Ballistic evidence presented at trial tied bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged. Davis was convicted of murder and various lesser charges, including the earlier shooting, and was sentenced to death in August 1991.

  897. how is there no evidence. Davis shot a man in the face earlier(which he was also found guily) and the same damn shell casings match by the body of the police officer. That is not circumstantial. Only because 17 years later witnesses recant statements. Again, who the hell is to say that families friends or even the naacp are not sending threats or monies to change their 17 year oldd statements? Don’t be fooled. U take away the death penalty and crimes go through the roof especially forcible felonies

  898. PLEASE do NOT do this unless there is 100% without a shadow of a doubt that this man is guilty!

  899. I’m in favor of the death penalty, but I believe this man deserves clemency. With the recanting of eyewitnesses and claims of being pressured, there’s too much doubt added to this case.

  900. @ Sarah UK:

    The unjust verdict? So you’re now saying the jurors, all of them, were completely wrong and intentionally unjust? Are you serious? How about the other murder he was convicted for? And the same weapon was used to kill this police officer who was simply trying to keep a homeless man from being beat. You are so far off track it’s sad … but once this TWICE convicted murderer gets the needle, you can march off to another senseless crusade.

  901. @scott and @O’bert ermilio…black man is accused of the murder of a white cop…there’s no way he can be innocent! Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he’s black,thats enough…I got your back buds!

  902. @ John …. these people don’t care about this murderer or either of the victims … they just care about trying to get a twice convicted murderer clemency to help satisfy their own twisted version of justice. They do NOT care about the true victims

  903. @O’bert Ermillio you forgot to mention ” Although the murder weapon was not recovered” and please, don’t use wikipedia because anyone can edit the text in it, and if you do, make sure you don’t miss out crucial information

    they also convicted him of this crime which there is lack of evidence, more than one person saying that they were threatened to testify which most of them recanted, the judge himself said that the proof was not iron clad, he even offered to do a polygraph test which they denied, if he was guilty why would he offer to do the test?

    In order to convict someone, there has to be SOLID PROOF against them and no loose strands, he had many loose strands and no solid evidence.

    And I’m not willing to believe that he killed someone else from the same State that killed him without sufficient evidence, it just doesn’t add up

  904. Whoso shedeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed. This says nothing about executing the innocent for the crimes of another individual. In fact, condemning the just and acquitting the guilty- both are abominations to the Lord. Troy Davis’ case holds entirely too much doubt. Seven witnesses have spoken up about coercion during the signing of affidavits fingering Davis. Nine others fingered Sylvester Coles as the killer. The state of Georiga will be acting against humanity and justice if they take the life of a potentially innocent man.

  905. @ Sarah UK … give it a break. Davis is a sadistic murderer and you support that. End of story. I can only hope that one of these animals do not get ahold of you or someone you love and do the same thing they did to this police officer, the innocent victim of a sadistic and senseless crime.

    Why don’t you discuss the victim? Easier to ignore that right? Makes it easier to defend a demented, twice convicted murderer than justify what he did. Interesting.

  906. @ Eyjólfur B. Eyjólfsson

    Good for them. What’s that got to do with this twice convicted murderer taking the life of an innocent man attempting to protect another innocent individual? He deserves the needle and will get what he deserves. HE DESERVES TO BE EXECTUTED!!!

  907. I found this somewhere on the blog of this site but can’t find the exact source back but I think this is about all what is to say about this:

    ” … it took being out of my context to find the most brilliant reply to one of the most frustrating and pissy questions one has to field at educational events and public forums on the death penalty…

    a gentleman in the audience was speaking about his experiences doing public education around the death penalty and a time when he received this question:

    yeah, but what if it was your mother who was killed – wouldn’t you feel different about it then???

    and his reply???

    “what if your mother killed my mother – what would you have me do then?”

    I also remember a shooting that took place in a school of an Amish community. The families of the victims gathered together and collected food for a basket they brought to the parents of the shooter who also died during the shooting. The parents of the victims visited the parents of the killer and brought them their condolences because those parents lost their child too and they mourned together. The real victims are all those who lose their humanity, their empathy, their ability to see clear and are filled with bitterness and revenge.

    What they do to TD and his family is just disgusting, a disgrace to human race and I lost every respect that I had left for the US as a nation. I feel for the many good people who are forced to live there, though.

    By now it doesn’t matter anymore if TD did it or not, he and his family is punished enough, suffered enough. Yes, just free him and revise this judiciary and penitentiary system, it’s unprofessional and outdated. Compare it’s dignity and success with those of Norway or Finland.

  908. @ Grace … what chance of survival did Davis give to either of the men he murdered?

    Do any of you bleeding-heart liberals give a damn about the victims?

  909. O’bert Ermillio proof? and not the kind you copy and paste from wikipedia, especially when you leave out crucial information.

    both of them are victims, the police officer and Troy Davis.

    @ nick, act your age, not your shoe size

  910. @ Sarah UK. So now you resort to insulting those who care about the slain police officer? Classy ….

  911. O’bert Ermillio, if you place too much emphasis on how badly you feel for the victim and his family, you will dive right into judging someone hastily. You simply want someone to be held accountable. Troy Davis is a son. If it was your son going through this, would you feel the same way? I doubt it. Instead of focusing on feeling bad or caring about the victim and his family, facts and the incredible lack of evidence against him, in addition to the stacks of evidence against Sylvester Coles and the police (for coercing witnesses). Perhaps you should put your feelings on the back burner and consider true justice. It is likely that several of the jurors who convicted Davis jumped to the same conclusion you have come to, and probably for the same reason- just so that SOMEONE pays for the officer’s murder. You said, “What about the victim? Do you even care about the victim?”
    Well, now I ask:
    What about the innocent? Do you care about justice for the innocent? If not, then hopefully you will be the next person falsely accused.

  912. Officer MacPhail rushed to the aid of a homeless man who prosecutors said Davis was bashing with a handgun after asking him for a beer. Prosecutors said Davis had a smirk on his face as he shot the officer to death in a Burger King parking lot.

    Davis is a sick animal who needs put to death NOW!!!!

  913. @ Brian ….. you just said “Instead of focusing on feeling bad or caring about the victim and his family” …. really? So your true agenda surfaces. Thanks for finally being honest with everyone here.

    However, I do feel bad for the victims and both of their families whether you think that’s a bad thing or not. Sick, sick, sick!!!

  914. if you read my previous post I did say very clearly and in plain and simply English that both the police man and Troy Davis were victims, I cant put it simpler than that.

    No, I’m not insulting someone who defended the slain police officer, I’m insulting someone who was being racist against black people when he said:

    “lack man is accused of the murder of a white cop…there’s no way he can be innocent! Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he’s black,thats enough”

    or did you not read what he said either?

  915. “Officer MacPhail rushed to the aid of a homeless man who prosecutors said Davis was bashing with a handgun after asking him for a beer. Prosecutors said Davis had a smirk on his face as he shot the officer to death in a Burger King parking lot.”

    @O’bert Ermillio, that so called ‘evidence’ was weak in pinning Davis to it, in fact and many had testified to this including the man himself, that it was Red Coles who committed that assault and murder, to the point where his own family member testified against him and was assaulted after by Red.

    “and yes I believe color is important in this. I believe he would have been a free man if he would be white when they have not prof he did the crime”

    Feel free to look up Raymond “Beaver” Tempest, from Rhode Island. He is the former police chief in the city in which he was accused of murdering a woman in her basement. His case hasn’t been proven either, yet he sits in prison. He has been there for as long as Troy Davis, if not longer. He is a white man who IS NOT A FREE MAN, when they have not been able to prove he did the crime. Stop being so racial. You have proven yourself to be a very immoral human being. Not everything is about race. Get over that stupid ass card. Sure, Blacks were treated unjustly in the past by white. But, consider this. It is also the white man who set them free and granted their much deserved equality. Stop being a POS.

  917. @ O’bert Ermillio, oh, so you agree with his racist slander against black people? mate, I’m not losing it, you evidently have

  918. @ Sarah UK … the evidence was not that weak was it? He’s about to be executed thank goodness.

  919. Since 1970 twentythree people were executed in the USA. but later turned that they were not gulty.
    That´s really terrible!

  920. @ Sarah UK

    Anyone with much education knows that rant was a plant for followers like yourself. So first you insult those who care for the victims and now you lower yourself to racisim. Because the victims were white and the murderer is black, then it must be racisim huh? OK, it that’s what you want to stoop to, so be it. Shame on you.

  921. Too much doubt…how would you feel about killing a potentially innocent man? Unless everyone is 100% doubt-free, the death penalty should not be used.

  922. The best part about tonight is that Troy Davis will finally been executed. Wonderful, just wonderful!!!

    Goodnight, sleep tight and know we’re ridding this world from another hideous murderer to protect those of you who think Davis is a victim and fail to care a bit about the two who he murdered. Bye bye and goodby sadistic murderer Davis.

  923. Interesting Brian and John it seems like you know so much about this crime so it´s maybe you that did it????
    What if people said you did it and it was false.
    How do you prof you are innocent? When the law system not care of evidence of prof that you did the crime?
    Would you like me to stand up and fight for your right as long as the prof is not enough about that you did the crime?
    or shall I be like you? that want people to die without prof of evidence that they realy did the crime? I want the real person that did the crime shall be punished. Not someone that seems to be innocent to be put to death for a crime it seems he not have done.

  924. @ Ellie … the two victims that Davis murdered were not “potentially” innocent, they were fully, 100% innocent. Have you thought about them? Hmmm? No, doubt it. Oh well, it’s your conscience.

  925. @Grace did officer mark get a second chance?
    @Sarah u wanna throw off on wikipedia but youtube is credible. Gimmie a break

  926. thank you for proving how close minded you actually are.

    i have already said for the third time now that both the police man and Troy Davis were victims, tell me what part of that don’t you understand?

    and how exactly am i being racist? it doesn’t matter what race you are if you murder someone you should be convicted, Unfortunately, Troy Davis was wrongly accused and the killer walks free.How does that justify killing Troy Davis? Doesn’t an eye for an eye make the world blind?

    i seem you accusing me of being a racist when i was merely quoting Nick who said “Fuck the doubs and the lacks of evidences!Fuck theses witnesses, we dont even need their statements, he’s black,thats enough”

    If you don’t think that’s racist or offensive then you really do have problems

  927. @ John, the video on youtube was posted by Amnesty International with interviews from experts on the case, Jurors, witnesses and police who were also all involved, in what way exactly is that not a reliable source of information exactly? or have you not watched the videos?

  928. A system like the one that murdered Troy Davis should be put on trial and sentenced to 'death' – meaning let's put an end finally to the death penalty system because it is racially biased and flawed. We are one of the last nation's on earth who have not. What is worse – risk of putting an innocent man to death or risk of letting one go free? This society has its values backwards. Keep up the fight to end this rotten system.

  929. @Marita that is by far the dumbest thing on here. Yea tell everyone I did it! I have a good alibi, I was 8 years old and lived no where near savannah so yea go ahead.

  930. @sarah…i wrote that comment to see who would step up against it…and you did, i just wanted to make sure of what o”bert and his friends are thinking, and i believe that whoever didnt take a stand against my previous comment is racist, and their racism is the only reason that they are supporting the execution of this man. lets face it: lack of evidence, 7 on 9 witnesses said they were forced to make the statement against him, wich is enough for a new investigation…So HOW CAN SOMEON SUPPORT THIS EXECUTION? I feel bad for the victim and his familly, we all do. but this is not enough to take the risk to kill Troy while he might be innocent! Cassey Ant. was accused of the murder of her own daughter, they let her go. reason:lack of evidence.SO…

  931. John if someone is stupid then its you. Can´t you read “NOT IN OUR NAME” so leave this place since you want blood on your hands. and we do NOT

  932. STOP this execution, and give this man a new trial, the same way you did the first time around. Call the same witnesses, and see what the jury says now! If a child who has been molested recounts, they close the case, but when it comes to Troy Davis they don’t want to hear it! If there is no witnesses, then their is NO crime! Innocent until PROVEN guilty, well PROVE it, show some physical evidence. Oh I forgot you DONT have any, and NO witnesses now either! Get real Georgia, what do you have to loose, other than giving a man back his life that your system might have taken away for NO reason! Georgia has a flawed judicial system in more way than one, and I know first hand in Georgia your not innocent until proven guilty you are guilty until proven innocent!

  933. While not a citizen of the US, I have watched the recent developments in this case with absolute horror. The international community, and particularly some of the closest allies of the U.S, have condemned this course of action. Indeed, governors within the U.S have spoken against it. Everything about this case is unconscionable yet the state of Georgia insists on carrying out this horrific sentence based on little substantial evidence.

    This action does nothing to support the image of the U.S internationally, and Georgia in particular. This merely confirms stereotypes about institutionalised racism and redneck southern states. The U.S has an unpopular image in many parts of the world… and this does nothing to help it. If the U.S, as a nation-state, truly supports the concepts of liberty and equality that it claims to champion then the execution of Troy Davis should not be conducted.

    Depressingly, I feel it will happen – and the U.S, domestically and internationally, will be worse of for it. White hoods and burning crosses much?

  934. rip troy i hope you find the compassion and peace in heaven that you did not get here on earth, my heart bleeds for your family

  935. Death penalty and democracy? The USA are the only democratic country in the world executing people. Like Iran, Iraq, China and other dictatorships.

  936. I agree with you 100 % Alex. People are arguing over whnat they read or seen on the internet. Most of what the news media displays cannot be relied on. If people weren’t there or have the ORIGINAL statements, affidavit, testimonies, eye witnesses, etc., no one can be accurate of what happened. In the 1950’s or before up until now race have played a big part in the southern states and will continue to. So I DON’T want to see a website by a republican or democrat, or quotations from ANY website unless it’s showing me THE REAL FACTS AND EVIDENCE in this case. If any link you post doesn’t provide that then it’s not worth my time looking at it. Guilty or not guilty he deserves a FAIR and HONEST trial. The website http://deathpenaltyinfo.org shows that the public, including the victims families wouldn’t even want to see a dealth penalty. BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! The court refuses to block the execution of Troy Davis!!!!! So he will be lethally injected, May GOD be with him. To all have a goodnight

  938. The system gave him every single chance of appeal. He has been convicted, and his appeals denied. He will be executed. Stop sniveling and go prevent crime, all of you bored do-gooders. And support your local law enforcement, because you are all to weak and indecisive to protect yourselves.

  939. A R Says:
    September 21st, 2011 at 9:50 pm

    Who addressed Hartmut’s comment???? No one, and he has stated a FACT, not opinion. If Troy Davis is guilty as they make him seem, he would’ve been executed. It’s obvious that there is a hold up for some type of reason. Justice will reveal itself and the truth ALWAYS come to light, whether 22 years or 50 years. The truth will be told

    I agree, justice will be done. Looks like Troy is about to take a dirt nap, appeal denied. Good night dirt bag!

  940. In the end all you have achieved with your appeals is more pain and suffering for Troy Davis, his family and more importantly Mark MacPhail’s family.

    The politics of this case, the misinformation and general avoidance of the facts (Davis shot another person in the face with the same gun that night) caused delay, after delay, after delay. How cruel is it, due mainly to your actions, to have Davis lay there waiting again….likely with a needle in his arm….

    You prove again there is no such thing as altruism. You follow your own agenda without any regard for the people who deserve justice and assistance.. the victims of crimes. What are their rights, are they not humans? The criminal makes a choice knowing the outcome.

    It is all sooo sad. Everyone had to pay a price.

    There is a universal justice above us all and Mark MacPhail will be waiting on the other side and soon the real justice begins….

    To those who want to believe Troy Davis was innocent. I say to you go and fined the seven people who convicted him to death; the witnesses with their “lies”.

  941. He should be executed within 5 minutes as they have denied final appeal. Its just weird that it has been appealed by several different courts at different times and all upheld the same decision. Guilty! Just sayin

  942. Stop the excution don’t kill an innocent man if you don’t have all the proof he is God’s children no man should be killed for something they didn’t do don’t be crule to this brother please have mercy on him don’t do it it just aint right.

  943. The system is flawed. Hopefully all of you posting your joy over this murder, oops I mean execution will never find yourself in a place where such injustice is served. We are no better than the man who really did kill Officer McPhail.

    Fred – as the sister of a police officer, I completely support law enforcement…I’m not weak and I will happily defend my strong and decisive self any day….

  944. I dont care what the media says. I dont know weather he is guilty or not. I do know that many people including an x president, the pope, a x governor and many civil rights groups that felt the was a reasonable doubt. I am against the death penalty any way because of all the people who have been convicted that are not guilty. Also as far as I know there are no millionaires on death row. The ability for someone with very little resource to pay for a good defense and a wealthy person to get a wonderful defense is to great a discrepancy. Nothing against the wealthy, just saying in such an important thing everyone should get equal representation.

  945. I AM A JAMAICAN STUDENT STUDYING LAW AND I HAVE NOT THE EXACT DETAILS OF THIS CASE BUT THE FEW READINGS THAT I HAVE READ IS THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE JUDGE ARE TRYING TO PUT AN INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH WITH A WEAK CASE THAT IS INHUMAN TREATMENT AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL POLICE FORCING WITNESSES TO LIE IN COURT JUST SO THEIR COLLEGE’S KILLER CAN STILL BE OUT THERE WALKING AND AN INNOCENT MAN CAN GO TO DEATH. IT IS BETTER TO RELEASE 10 GUILTY MEN ON THE STREET THAN TO PUT ONE INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH!!!! I THOUGHT AMERICA HAD A BETTER JUSTICE SYSTEM MY PRAYERS ARE WITH MR DAVIS’ FAMILY STOP THE EXECUTION PUT HIM IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE IF THAT BE THE CASE TAKE HIM OFF DEATH ROW!!!!!!!!!!!

  946. Raising Doubt! You can’t even get the date of this brave Officer’s death right. 8/19/1989. Eye for an Eye. Justice served.

  947. Here is the thing…I’m not saying he’s not gilty…I’m saying that he was not ABSOLUTELY PROVEN guilty and until there is absolutely no doubt he should not be . You would think that the police AND the family of the officer killed would want to make COMPLETELY SURE that they aren’t killing an innocent man and allowing a killer not only to go free but to go free without even a hint of the justice that should be served.

  948. SHAME ON YOU usa!

    YOU TORTURED AGAIN!

    YOU’LL KILL AGAIN!

    YOU FAILED AGAIN!

    Go in peace Troy, you will NOT be forgotten!

  949. Why don't you educate yourself instead of listening to understandably biased individuals? You need to realize that none of these stories are going to give you all of the facts. The judge wrote an extensive 172 page opinion which I will link.

    @wanderingtom

  950. @Dave an eye for an eye MAKES THE WORLD BLIND

    @Hep, i did say that its a silent dictatorship, its funny how they always put their foot into other countries to 'civilise' them and 'bring justice and peace' when they don't even do that to their own citizens. I no longer have faith in their justice system.

    Be the change you want to see in the world, Obama said he had no power over this, isn't he the President of the UNITED STATES? and if he has no power over this then why does he have the power to enforce change in other countries but not his own?

    RIP Troy Davis, God bless your soul

  951. Why is everyone saying the courts and police and judges should make sure absolutely sure he was guilty before the execution. My friends evidently they did! Not one time did a judge get on here and say blah blah blah. No it was a few weak minded jurors that have never been in a judicial hearing. Judges know what goes on. Two shootings different locations SAME shell casings then fled to atlanta. It was weak americans that got all this bullshit started. For get about the dead officer, he’s been gone 22 years, what was his name again? U know I’m telling the truth. But oh this poor pitiful black man been in prison all these years,these 7 ppl said the police made them say that stuff! By god he is not guilty let him go! Come on people, do what judges have to do. Make a decision based on all evidence presented not 7 recanted less than credible statements. 3 of the 7 were friends, not to mention 17 yrs later. Its over now, so I guess ppl will find something else to complain about

  952. What a dark day for the USA, a country that I travelled to so many times and that I love! I say so since I’m from a country where the death penalty has been abolished many, many years ago (Switzerland). I’m sad together with the family of Troy Davis.

  953. Please do not let your feelings fade with time. Keep alive your belief in Troy and your opposition to the death penalty and to injustice wherever it occurs. If you have not done so already, please set up a monthly payment (however modest) to Amnesty International and please leave a legacy to Amnesty International in your will. God bless Troy's supporters and the sadness we feel today. Everything is connected and every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

    @wanderingtom

  956. I am sorry that it was not possible to do anything to leave what might very well have been an innocent man the possibility to cleanse his name. I believe he was innocent and that one day we would have seen him free. I am sure he stood his ground to the very end and died with honor.

    It is outrageous, however, the way the legal system of Georgia has behaved during this process. Not only the dishonorable way it has killed a human being, strapped defenseless to a bed, but also the fact that apparently there are is a great risk that the perpetrator(s) of the crime that Troy was accused of are still free, thus not only killing an innocent but also salvaging the guilty one(s).

    We will not rest so that Troy Davis may rest in peace.

  957. I can only hope Troy Davis rots in hell. He deserved to die but in a less humane manner. I hope he had deep fear in his heart for the dirty, horrible thing he did to his (AT LEAST) two victims he murdered.

    Finally … JUSTICE has been served. Rot in hell Troy Davis … ROT IN HELL!!

    Another victory for justice!!

  958. A system like the one that murdered Troy Davis should be put on trial and sentenced to ‘death’ – meaning let’s put an end finally to the death penalty system because it is racially biased and flawed. We are one of the last nation’s on earth who have not. What is worse – risk of putting an innocent man to death or risk of letting one go free? This society has its values backwards. Keep up the fight to end this rotten system.

  959. This case must NOT end here. This must be where it BEGINS! States and Countries MUST be held accountable for executing innocent people and miscarriages of justice. It is time to implement an International Examining body recognised by the United Nations, to look at these cases, have the right of access to all the information the court had and other evidence, to check that a miscarriage of justice has not resulted in execution. Where an execution has been unjustly carried out, the State involved must be reported to the United Nations. Such cases must then proceed to allowing proceedings to sue the state involved and the money given to the family of the executed person as recoginition of the miscarriage of justice. Where evidence has been witheld and persons identified as intending to make the defendant guilty for the purpose of execution, the individuals concerned must be prosecuted for either manslaughter or homicide/murder. This should carry the penalty of imprisonment.

  960. Finally, lets look at Troy Davis last words. Like any man or woman just about to die, he had the right to reveal his last words and the truth of what happened, knowing that it was to late to either help him or harm him any further than he was about to be harmed. Here is his last confession. Please read carefully:

    "The incident that happened that night is not my fault. I did NOT have a gun," Davis said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    "I did NOT personally kill your son, father and brother. I AM INNOCENT," he continued.

    "For those about to take my life, may God have mercy on your souls, may God bless your souls," Davis said.

    The United States of America has executed a man who was INNOCENT of the crime he was charged and "found guilty" of. At this point, remember, Davis had NOTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOOSE! His confession here must be brought to the world's attention.
    EXECUTING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS THE ACTION OF ROGUE COUNTRIES WHOSE ABSENCE OF MORALITY IS REFLECTED IN THEIR JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND PRACTICE. THE US MUST NO LONGER MAKE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE IMMORAL ACTIONS OF OTHER COUNTRIES OR THE EXECUTIONS OF PEOPLE IN IRAN, CHINA OR NORTH KOREA.
    The US has sadly LOST ITS MORAL STANDARD in the world and is seen for what it is!

  961. @ David Booth, thank you for your last comment, it was well said and you are completely right, if America judges people by its own moral standards then were all screwd.

  962. and by America i dont mean the people, i mean the Government and its loyal supporters in killing the innocent

  963. rip troy i hope you find the compassion and peace in heaven that you did not get here on earth, my heart bleeds for your family

  964. Death penalty and democracy? The USA are the only democratic country in the world executing people. Like Iran, Iraq, China and other dictatorships.

  965. Troy wanted to do the test to prof he said the truth. I believe he was innocent. He died innocent. Georgia have put a shame on USA when people all over the world said NO and they still did this terrible crime.

  966. Question about people that do a murderer with this kind of law: when are the people that put Troy to death to get their own incjection? Or shall they just walk free and look for next Troy??? what kind of LAW is that? Let the murderer go free and kill the innocent.
    Thank GOD that I not live in USA.
    I agree totaly with David Booth

  967. @ Marita, your spot on, maybe those who convicted him were getting a lot of money for doing so? if thats the case then its true, money is the root of all evil…

  968. This news! Spoiled my day already but God knows what is good for you!
    Troy may your soul rest in peace and If the world was bitter for you, Heaven will be sweeter for you and i'm hoping for the Lord to accept you there. We will never forget you and we will keep on fighting for the abolition of death penalty.

    We love you!!!!! (and i'm speaking on the behalf of your family (al the suporters)) <3

  969. Sarah yes i know things like that can happen in some countries. People with lot of money can get the LAW to be like they want. But that is not LAW. It is wrong. I have no respect for USA anymore. This situation is not ok.

  970. @ Marita, agreed. =)

    @ Audrey K Brobbey, its unjust and very unfortunate, but now he doesnt need to suffer in this world anymore, hes in heaven and God is fair, He will do justice to Troy and his family and actually to humanity.

    The government are there to serve us, not the other way around. So many people including celebrities, the Pope and ex presidents stood out against this practice, over 1 million people petitioned, marched, called and cried but they ignored us like it didnt even matter.

    I've always believed that if you stay quiet, especially if you know you can make a difference while injustice is going on, then your just as bad as those who are doing it.

  971. something that would be good in this situation. would be if the real murderer step forward and tell the world that he did it. Go for the test that he say the truth. and that he is not alow to get punished for it since someone already have died for this crime. Then those people that refused to listen to the voices all over the world. That decided to kill Troy. Has to go to their own prison. Since they have prof they have killed a innocent man.

  972. The family of the policeman have already decided that Troy had to die. So it´s good for them also to see how the real truth was.and live with it. since what is done can not be changed.

  973. @Dave an eye for an eye MAKES THE WORLD BLIND

    @Hep, i did say that its a silent dictatorship, its funny how they always put their foot into other countries to ‘civilise’ them and ‘bring justice and peace’ when they don’t even do that to their own citizens. I no longer have faith in their justice system.

  981. I went to sleep last night believing that Troy Davis' life still would be spared. This morning I am devastated by the news of his murder (aka legal lynching) by the State of Georgia. I am ashamed that I live in a country that justifies state sponsored murder that manifests itself in many forms. Those include but are not limited to the death penalty, the killing of innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan along with ongoing US support of the brutal occupation and abuse of Palestinians by Apartheid Israel. I am struggling with all of it.

    When I give my students hope that change is always possible, I know that I am right. But, this morning I am feeling a bit hopeless. Troy Davis' life had meaning and was worth saving. The lack of evidence, police misconduct, the criminal (justice) system that allows wrongful convictions then stands by them no matter what, the ineffective way in which these cases are reviewed or not reviewed at all by the courts, the way in which those that were any part of shooting that poison into Troy Davis' veins last night while justifying their actions by saying "I was only doing my job" and on and on all make my heart ache with sadness, disgust and frustration.

    Before he died, Troy Davis asked us all to stand up and fight to make sure this never happened again to anyone. Now that is what we must do. After we mourn this unnecessary and unjust loss of life, we cannot allow ourselves to forget how this feels. We shall use this case to bolster and strengthen our campaign to turn our direction toward one of reconciliation, restoration, healing, humanistic intentions, and an end to murder, legal lynching, and the dehumanization of those the powerful want us to eliminate.

    For now, please forgive me as I need a few days before I begin to be hopeful for a better future…to feel the pain, the loss, and give proper respect to a man that should not have lost his quest for life while maintaining his innocence to his last moment on this earth. R.I.P Troy Davis – we will not forget you.

  982. To Mango, (in answer to your question)
    The particular protest in this case was about a Miscarriage of justice, the legal system and common humanity…not about ethnic origin or color. It doesn't matter if someone is white, black, pink or green, the US should not be executing someone who is innocent of the crime he was supposedly found guilty of. In this particular case there was other evidence pointing to the real killer being someone else actually known by name to the authorities. Therefore what we actually have here is a case were the state is Intentionally killing an Innocent man, having denied the fact that there was INSUFFICIENT evidence for him to be the murderer!
    Davis in his last minutes confessed that he was NOT the killer and did NOT have a gun on the night in question. He blessed those who were about to kill him. Those who have effectively murdered an innocent man must now try to deal with their consciences and ultimately, explain to the Lord why they committed this murder.

  983. to "Stupidliberals" – The people here are from all walks of life. They are joined in the common interest of freedom, fairness, justice, truth and compassion. If you claim to be right wing, you should also embrace these values.

    The fact is, you haven't got "good riddance of the cop killer", because he is today walking your streets and enjoying a beer while trying to put the guilt of Davis taking his execution for him, out of his mind. If that is right wing justice, then I pity your streets in a few years time! You won't be able to walk them!

  984. to Stupidliberals
    …and who knows? Maybe in a year or two from now, it may be YOU protesting your innocence from Death Row, when you have been falsely convicted of murder!

    Then you'll see and hear some guy like yourself saying you're a murderer, when you are innocent of the crime?

    The question I would like to ask you is this:
    When you are in the death chamber like Davis was, will YOU bless and Pray for the people like Davis did, who were about to kill him ?

  985. This case must NOT end here. This must be where it BEGINS! States and Countries MUST be held accountable for executing innocent people and miscarriages of justice. It is time to implement an International Examining body recognised by the United Nations, to look at these cases, have the right of access to all the information the court had and other evidence, to check that a miscarriage of justice has not resulted in execution. Where an execution has been unjustly carried out, the State involved must be reported to the United Nations. Such cases must then proceed to allowing proceedings to sue the state involved and the money given to the family of the executed person as recoginition of the miscarriage of justice. Where evidence has been witheld and persons identified as intending to make the defendant guilty for the purpose of execution, the individuals concerned must be prosecuted for either manslaughter or homicide/murder. This should carry the penalty of imprisonment.

  986. by killing Troy, they've also killed the meaning of justice.

    @Donna Nassor, please do not despair, if history has taught us anything is that tyrants climb so high that they eventually fall. Let these people have their fun, tomorow it will be their turn to face their crimes, the saying "every dog has its day" comes to mind.

    Saddam (although put in power by America) killed so many innocent people, especially Shia muslims for simply their beliefs, he burried people alive in cement, raped and killed women, and even killed people going on pilgrimage to Karbela.

    Saddam was a tyrant, he had everything, even taps made from gold until his eventual downfall, the Shah of Iran as well, so lets remain patient and help those who need it, be up right moral citizens and be good human beings, ultimately peoples actions come back to bite them (whatever goes around comes around).

  987. Finally, lets look at Troy Davis last words. Like any man or woman just about to die, he had the right to reveal his last words and the truth of what happened, knowing that it was to late to either help him or harm him any further than he was about to be harmed. Here is his last confession. Please read carefully:

    “The incident that happened that night is not my fault. I did NOT have a gun,” Davis said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    “I did NOT personally kill your son, father and brother. I AM INNOCENT,” he continued.

    “For those about to take my life, may God have mercy on your souls, may God bless your souls,” Davis said.

    The United States of America has executed a man who was INNOCENT of the crime he was charged and “found guilty” of. At this point, remember, Davis had NOTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOOSE! His confession here must be brought to the world’s attention.
    EXECUTING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS THE ACTION OF ROGUE COUNTRIES WHOSE ABSENCE OF MORALITY IS REFLECTED IN THEIR JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND PRACTICE. THE US MUST NO LONGER MAKE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE IMMORAL ACTIONS OF OTHER COUNTRIES OR THE EXECUTIONS OF PEOPLE IN IRAN, CHINA OR NORTH KOREA.
    The US has sadly LOST ITS MORAL STANDARD in the world and is seen for what it is!

  988. I am 100% against the death penalty for this very reason! How the state of GA could go ahead with the execution when so many have petitioned against it is beyond me. This proves that government really does not listen to the "voice of the people"! I find it hard to believe that race does not play a factor in this decision. There have been others who had more evidence against them who have not only been released from the death penalty but have had their freedom in society granted. For a man to claim his innocence all the way up to the time of execution gives me plenty of reason to doubt his guilt. Especially when 7 out of 9 "witnesses" have recanted their stories…

  989. @ David Booth, thank you for your last comment, it was well said and you are completely right, if America judges people by its own moral standards then were all screwd.

  990. and by America i dont mean the people, i mean the Government and its loyal supporters in killing the innocent

  991. Troy wanted to do the test to prof he said the truth. I believe he was innocent. He died innocent. Georgia have put a shame on USA when people all over the world said NO and they still did this terrible crime.

  992. Question about people that do a murderer with this kind of law: when are the people that put Troy to death to get their own incjection? Or shall they just walk free and look for next Troy??? what kind of LAW is that? Let the murderer go free and kill the innocent.
    Thank GOD that I not live in USA.
    I agree totaly with David Booth

  993. @ Marita, your spot on, maybe those who convicted him were getting a lot of money for doing so? if thats the case then its true, money is the root of all evil…

  994. This news! Spoiled my day already but God knows what is good for you!
    Troy may your soul rest in peace and If the world was bitter for you, Heaven will be sweeter for you and i’m hoping for the Lord to accept you there. We will never forget you and we will keep on fighting for the abolition of death penalty.

    We love you!!!!! (and i’m speaking on the behalf of your family (al the suporters)) <3

  995. Sarah yes i know things like that can happen in some countries. People with lot of money can get the LAW to be like they want. But that is not LAW. It is wrong. I have no respect for USA anymore. This situation is not ok.

  996. I wonder if the judges and other involved in this horrific decision, would have come to the same conclusion, if the name was, for example, Dominique Strauss-Kahn instead of Troy Davis.

    I wonder if the judges and other involved in this horrific decision, would have raised some serious questions about this hole case, if the name was, for example, Dominique Strauss-Kahn instead of Troy Davis.

    I wonder if the judges and other involved in this horrific decision, would have found reasonable doubt, if the name was, for example, Dominique Strauss-Kahn instead of Troy Davis.

    I wonder if the judges and other involved in this horrific decision, would have listen to outside(or inside) pressure, if the name was, for example, Dominique Strauss-Kahn instead of Troy Davis.

    I wonder if the judges and other involved in this horrific decision, would have found lack of credibility from witnesses, if the name was, for example, Dominique Strauss-Kahn instead of Troy Davis.

    I wonder ……

  997. @ Marita, agreed. =)

    @ Audrey K Brobbey, its unjust and very unfortunate, but now he doesnt need to suffer in this world anymore, hes in heaven and God is fair, He will do justice to Troy and his family and actually to humanity.

    The government are there to serve us, not the other way around. So many people including celebrities, the Pope and ex presidents stood out against this practice, over 1 million people petitioned, marched, called and cried but they ignored us like it didnt even matter.

    I’ve always believed that if you stay quiet, especially if you know you can make a difference while injustice is going on, then your just as bad as those who are doing it.

  998. something that would be good in this situation. would be if the real murderer step forward and tell the world that he did it. Go for the test that he say the truth. and that he is not alow to get punished for it since someone already have died for this crime. Then those people that refused to listen to the voices all over the world. That decided to kill Troy. Has to go to their own prison. Since they have prof they have killed a innocent man.

  999. The family of the policeman have already decided that Troy had to die. So it´s good for them also to see how the real truth was.and live with it. since what is done can not be changed.

  1000. What can we do, for the Troy Davis case specifically, now that he has been put to death? I would like to see some kind of petition on this website and others pushing for posthumous exoneration, or possibly some kind of online form to write state officials in Georgia to do all they can to finish investigating this case. This case has such a high profile internationally that I think it could help the overall cause for ending the death penalty in the U.S. and other countries that practice this barbaric act. Troy Davis is in the headlines today, but his name will be gone from the mainstream news all too quickly, just like with other innocent people who were put to death in the past. Let's help Troy Davis leave our world with a lasting gift by keeping pressure on the state of Georgia until he is exonerated, or until some admission is made that there was at least significant uncertainty and that the trial should have been redone.

  1001. Where is the concern for police officer Mark MacPhail, the man that Davis has been convicted of murdering? The bleeding heart liberals of the world are one assault away from being conservative, firearms bearing citizens. Davis was a vicious thug who got what he deserved. May God have mercy on his soul.

  1002. To Alex- absolutely! The authorities and all involved in this will have one wish right now….that it all goes away, gets forgotten and that the name of Troy Davis is forgotten along with all the others who may have been innocently executed. I believe that's what part of execution is all about…closure, for 'some people'.
    We should make sure that where a person has been executed and where there is a strong possibility that he was not in fact guilty of the crime, that his case is examined and the Truth exposed along with the court and state which condemned an innocent person to death. If we sacrifice Truth for convenience and 'popular social opinion', then we don't have justice, but Dishonesty and its harvest of hatred and murder.
    Davis should be Exonerated, you are right! Looking away from the US, there are countless cases of evil executions of various kinds of people who have been sentenced to death of very dubious grounds, including young women who have been raped, homosexuals, and converts to Christ in muslim countries. This should be addressed Internationally and both countries and courts brought to book, with penalties of imprisonment and the right to sue for damages.

  1003. To Lou,
    The concern for police officer Mark MacPhail, has been shown in the Execution of a man who didn't do the murder! This is actually DISHONOURING to police officer Mark MacPhail! IT DOES NOT HONOUR HIM AT ALL.
    The right person should have been found guilty, NOT just someone who happened to be at the scene as Davis was.
    Everyone on this site believes that police officer Mark MacPhail should receive justice for his murder and if this site was dedicated to honouring him there is no doubt that there would be accolades and praises in respect of him. However, this site is NOT about him, but about the Miscarriage of Justice which has resulted in an innocent man, Troy Davis, being executed for something he didn's actually do.

  1004. To Lou,
    Do you REALLY think that police officer Mark MacPhail would 'thank you' for you executing an INNOCENT man for him?? Police officer Mark MacPhail was someone who upheld JUSTICE, NOT executing innocent people!

    In fact if police officer Mark MacPhail could look down on us now, he would be INCENSED with an innocent man wrongly executed and the guilty man at home swigging a beer!

  1005. Hey,,,,

    i just dont get logic… i mean to sentence somebody to death there has to be a strong case of beyond any reasonable doubt….this yardstick was applied in casey anthony case….

    i mean we dont see that yardstick here …. where there is so much doubt….
    but we are turning tables and asking the defendent that the burden of proof is on him…

    come on guys,,,this death sentence not a joke… why are we putting burden of proof on him… because it has to be on us who are sending him to gallows… so we have to prove beyond doubt that there he is guilty….

    and i believe we have not done that…. !

  1006. Lawrence Russell Brewer, a white racist was executed in Texas on 21-Sept, by lethal injection. He was convicted of the murder of James Byrd (a black man) in 1988. Byrd was chained to the back of a pick-up truck and dragged along a road until he died. A truly horrific murder.

    http://tinyurl.com/44mngtp

    Where is Amnesty’s high-profile campaign against white racist Lawrence Russell Brewer’s execution? I’ve searched high and low and all I find is a high-profile, international campaign to prevent Troy Davis’s execution. Were any vigils held against Byrd’s execution?

    Anyone from AI want to comment on this obvious disparity in public action against a white racist’s execution?

  1007. I went to sleep last night believing that Troy Davis’ life still would be spared. This morning I am devastated by the news of his murder (aka legal lynching) by the State of Georgia.

  1015. @John, if you ban the death penalty then crime will rise, ut if you ban the use of guns then crime will drop. Most countries in the world live fine without the death penalty, why cant America?

    as the saying goes, "guns don't kill people, stupid people with guns kill people"

    as i see it, the officer who was killed still hasn't got justice, and neither has Troy, the killer still walks and i would feel safer if a convicted man who was innocent was walking the streets then an guilty murder who was set free walking the streets. And anyway, if a man who committed a murder was allowed to walk free while an innocent man took the fall then i think crime rates will sky rocket, because sadistic murders will think that they can get away with it.

Unlike Canada, Angola, South Africa, Mexico, Mozambique, Australia and most other 21st century countries, USA is a strong ally of China, Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Vietnam and some other countries that are still killing their citizens for crime convictions.

    I hope every future "Troy Davis" gets the picture and I hope they are executed as surely as Davis executed the two innocent men he murdered.

    Funny how you bleeding heart socialists don't give a damn about the victim; instead, you try to save the heinous murderer. Twisted logic and glad you're not American.

    Thank you God for allowing us to execute Troy Davis … Amen!!

  1025. Hey Sarak UK … how come no outcry for the execution of Lawrence Russell Brewer, a white supremacist gang member convicted of the dragging death of an innocent individual (just like the innocent victims of Davis), Mr. James Byrd Jr in Texas about 10 years ago?

  1029. Dear David,

    The Troy Davis case looks like a very serious miscarriage of justice. No argument. But AI has maintained a principled stand against capital punishment, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused.

    So, where's AI's campaign against thewhite racist Lawrence Russell Brewer's execution?

  1030. Unlike Canada, Angola, South Africa, Mexico, Mozambique, Australia and most other 21st century countries, USA is a strong ally of China, Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Vietnam and some other countries that are still killing their citizens for crime convictions. Here’re the numbers of state-sponsored executions of their citizens for 2010: China (5000+), Iran (252+), North Korea (60+), Yemen (53+), USA (46), Saudi Arabia (27+), Libya (18+), Syria (17+), Bangladesh (9+), Somalia (8+), Sudan (6+), Palestinian Authority (5), Egypt (4), Equatorial Guinea (4), Taiwan (4), Belarus (2), Japan (2), Iraq (1+), Malaysia (1+), Bahrain (1), Botswana (1), Singapore (Unknown), Vietnam (Unknown).

  1031. O'bert Ermillio trust me mate i wouldn't go to America now if someone paid me to and since you think that Troy was guilty and deserved to be killed then by your own standards so does this Lawrence guy, if he was convicted and put on death row then according to you he also deserves it.

    Furthermore, your support for a white supremacist definitely proves two things, the first being that you actually don't care if Troy was innocent or not because you are a racist and secondly that you think a white supremacist deserves clemency, well as least you've confirmed that your not only a racist, but also an ignorant and arrogant fool with no sense of morality, i was right, you really are messed up, you need professional help.

  1032. Hey Sarah UK … you’re an idiot. Stay on your side of the ocean. We don’t need the likes of things like you.

    Thank you God for allowing us to execute Troy Davis … Amen!!

  1033. Hey Sarak UK … how come no outcry for the execution of Lawrence Russell Brewer, a white supremacist gang member convicted of the dragging death of an innocent individual (just like the innocent victims of Davis), Mr. James Byrd Jr in Texas about 10 years ago?

    Why no booo hooo for Lawrence Russell Brewer? Why?

  1034. Dear David,

    The Troy Davis case looks like a very serious miscarriage of justice. No argument. But AI has maintained a principled stand against capital punishment, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused.

    So, where’s AI’s campaign against thewhite racist Lawrence Russell Brewer’s execution?

  1035. O’bert Ermillio trust me mate i wouldn’t go to America now if someone paid me to and since you think that Troy was guilty and deserved to be killed then by your own standards so does this Lawrence guy, if he was convicted and put on death row then according to you he also deserves it.

    Furthermore, your support for a white supremacist definitely proves two things, the first being that you actually don’t care if Troy was innocent or not because you are a racist and secondly that you think a white supremacist deserves clemency, well as least you’ve confirmed that your not only a racist, but also an ignorant and arrogant fool with no sense of morality, i was right, you really are messed up, you need professional help.

  1036. To O'bert Ermillio,

    The mistake in your argument is the assumption you are making about Troy Davis. You are assuming that he is guilty of the murder of the policeman. Troy Davis's case is unique in that someone else already confessed to this murder, so that Troy Davis was highly unlikely to have been the murderer, given that 7 witnesses, upon whose witness the case entirely relied, admitted later that they were forced by the police to testify against Davis! When Davis had nothing left to gain, minutes before being executed, he told it how it was: he said he did NOT have a gun on this night and he did NOT shoot the policeman. He also blessed those about to kill him and asked God to forgive them. He also said that he hopes the man who really shot the policeman is found. These are NOT the last words of a guilty man!

    Therefore, what has happened here is that Troy Davis was executed for a crime he did NOT commit, as a sacrifice to the US justice system and to satisfy the vengeance of the state. The state may as well have picked up some other person, you for instance and executed you for the murder of the policeman…as long as it executed someone! Who cares if the executed is innocent, right?

  1037. It stands to reason that a white supremacist who admitted to beating up a black man and dragging his body on the ground by a car for miles probably also killed him, either from the injuries to his organs or by the beatings which he also endured. There was no credible evidence to say that he didn't kill the man, but Lawrence did say that he didn't do it. In a court of law you need more than just a statement like that, you need to have something called 'proof' which there was more than sufficient of and none that said that he didn't do it.

  1040. Truly a sad day… Now we have two lives to mourn, both murdered over hatred, arrogance, one in the name of justice, with NO courage to do what was right.
    The one good thing is that Troy Davis is at rest and in a better place. It is a shame we will never know the killer of officer MacPhall.
    All of you can hide behind "Justice" but none of you can not hide from final Judgment.

    Aside from the idea that the death penalty is barbaric… The state of Georgia and the family of Officer MacPhall can wonder each and every waking moment… what if the Killer of Officer MacPhall is now free and clear… walking around safely in his/her knowledge that someone else paid the price, & for what? Justice?

    You think you have seen justice done? But you have not done what is right by any human standards. Maybe that is what is missing here. Humanity. The inability to understand beyond your own smug, arrogance. Not having the wisdom or courage to question your irreversible action.
    I still think, tragically would this be the same outcome if Troy Davis were White and not African American, or any minority.

    SHAME ON YOU ALL.

    To John,
    Research has shown that the implementation of the death penalty has not lowered the crime rate.

  1041. Oh, Yikes,
    America has O'bert Ermillio …
    the UK has SarahUK,

    In this case UK 1, America 0
    I would trade in a NY minute !!!

  1044. Hey Barbie ….

    "Research has shown that the implementation of the death penalty has not lowered the crime rate"

    …. oh yeah? Well, it sure feels goooooood sending them to their maker. Yeahhhh Baby!! NEXT!~

  1045. Let's ask ol' Troy what he thinks about this argument …. oh, wait – we can't. Troy got executed didn't he? That's right, he's gone and ain't coming back.

    Turn out the lights, the party's over …. NEXT!!

  1046. @ Barbara, thanks, at least some people see sense

    @ O'bert Ermillio, its funny, every time you make a comment you stoop to a new low and you make yourself sound even more stupid than the last which i didn't think was possible.

    Facts are facts and only the idiots deny them, i guess that heavily applies to you.

  1047. Hey Barbie ….

  1050. Murderer Troy, how did that clemency petition work out? Troy …. Oh Troooooy. Where is that murderer now? Hmmm, maybe Hell where he belongs? Yep!!

    Turn out the lights, the party’s over …. NEXT!!

  1051. there are three issues that need to be separated.
    1) Is Troy Davis guilty?
    I truly believe he is based on evidence and the fact that it took the jury (majority black) less than two hours to find him guilty.
    There is physical evidence, ballistics and DNA (but the DNA was excluded ).
    Thirty four witnesses (not seven) and the fact that Davis's attorney would not allow any of them on the stand during the appeals process.
    2) The death penalty ? I am not an advocate of it at all.
    Life without parole at hard labor.
    3)Race.
    troy davis was guilty. The media turned it into a OJesque circus.
    where are all of the tears and protests for Richard Byrd (white supremecist) in texas.At least mr byrd accepted his punishment

  1052. with all do respect being a citizen of united states i thing the laws of the land has gone to an extreme on everyside. they can not find a way to solve social problems so they keep adding punishments over and over again. specially if you get to have a prosecuter who wants to become famous by doing something so injustice with out taking eveything in to consideration. i am sure if the person charged was one the prosecuters family or friends his view would have been totally different. i truly pray for the inmate and i would like to add that God would not forgive injustice at all. if the prosecuter is even a little God fearing he should reconsider everything. God Bless.

  1053. Though this has been a brutal battle of sides. Was he guilty, was he not guilty, etc. People's pride hurt, peoples feeling hurt, emotional strain and pain. It's been truly a difficult crusade, no doubt. I'll admit was not a cut & dry issue.

    But on the positive side, at least the murderer was executed thank God.

    I pray to God that the next brutal mass-murderer gets the needle at the time set so the rest of us can get some darn sleep. Late night entertainment is OK but geesh … this piece of garbage wasn't worth that three hour wait. Oh well … get the popcorn ready, I hear there's another one queued up and about to his medicine.

  1054. Hey Sarah UK, I'll let you know when the next one is scheduled. Maybe for you, it'll be a white man so you'll feel it's justified.

  1055. Murderer Troy, how did that clemency petition work out? Troy …. Oh Troooooy. Where is that murderer now? Hmmm, maybe Hell where he belongs? Yep!!

    Turn out the lights, the party’s over …. NEXT!!

  1056. yep, if he is truly guilty why not? had Troy really been guilty then i would have been just as happy as you, but you see i look at a certain thing called 'facts' and i dont judge someone on whether they are black, brown or white, because anyone is capable of committing crime regardless of race. I and so many other people believe that Troy was wrongfully executed because there was more proof that he didnt do it then there was that he did. If you seriously play the race card on this then i really feel sorry for you, remember things are not always black and white…

  1062. To Sarah,
    Well done for keeping to the truth, your compassion and dignity. You've upheld righteousness and truth in this case. I am convinced that any rational and unbiased person, looking at this case, would be convinced, just as those witnesses are now, that Troy Davis was innocent of the crime. If as is the case, the witnesses in the court case say that they were threatened to testify against Troy Davis and that he wasn't the murderer, then no one on this site has any valid case against Davis, not even O'bert Ermillio or any other of the blood thirsty would be sadistic executioners! There wasn't any valid evidence physical evidence against Troy Davis as you can be sure in a case of a police office being shot, that every available evidence would have been produced to prove their case! The case rested entirely upon coerced witnesses statements because there was no valid evidence against Davis. When these witness statements were retracted because they were untrue, the case against Davis should have been reversed. In the end, the justice system was not interested in whether he was guilty or innocent, only that they could execute someone for the crime and close the case for good. This has brought the US justice system into total disrepute and for this reason, it can no longer be respected as maintaining justice. It only has vengeance and dishonesty. One can't escape the suspicious feeling that who you are in this world will inevitably make the crucial difference when you end up charged like Davis.

    However, in the case of those on this site who like the idea that Davis was executed for a crime that someone else confessed to doing, then to be honest with you, such people are not worthy of your time and good moral standing to argue with. It would be better now to leave such people with their own evil thoughts and not waste your time with them. There will always be low life's around who have no moral code to guide them to honesty and compassion. Rather may I suggest you concentrate now on how to address the injustice of the innocent being executed – there are many more!

  1063. To David Booth,

    Thank you for your kind and truthful comment. You addressed the issue to the point and you are completely right to say that some people are best left alone as they cannot be helped by anyone save God.

    It just makes me despair at the state of the world and the levels some people will go to create more injustice to others and themselves. Where's the humanity?

    I don't understand why people spend all their lives hating others, with or without a valid reason until their grow old and die hating, what do they have to gain from spending all their lives being bitter? I would rather spend my life doing something worthwhile helping others and trying to remain as positive as i can but when things like this happens it can shake the core of anyone.

    But in all fairness, you are right and I will leave things the way they are. I have already commended (at length) so thank you and well done for speaking for truth and freedom!! I feel positive already knowing that humanity is not lost yet with people like you =D

  1066. I'm not positive Troy Davis is innocent of this murder. But I'm sure as hell not positive that he's guilty of it. And the burden of proof, as we all know, is on the prosecution's side in this country (or that's the idea at least). O'bert, considering you are such a pedantic right-wing hatemonger, I'm surprised you're not more for upholding the federal law in this country that promises people that they are innocent until proven guilty. Your proclamation of Troy Davis' guilt in this case is a far cry from the kind of judicial 'due process' that each U.S. citizen has a right to. U.S. courts are supposed to decide if people are guilty in this country, not bloggers. What are you basing your assumption of Troy Davis' guilt on? Is it just a narrow-minded hunch? Or were you there? Why were you so against staying his execution, when it would have given more time to make sure the right person was being held accountable for this crime? Were you worried they might discover he was innocent? If so, would you be upset to not see this person get executed, because you'd have to admit to yourself that you convicted him too quickly in your mind?

  1067. I’m not positive Troy Davis is innocent of this murder. But I’m sure as hell not positive that he’s guilty of it.

If so, would you be upset to not see this person get executed, because you’d have to admit to yourself that you convicted him too quickly in your mind?

  1068. several things that I find appealing. First, this debate still continues. I live here in Georgia, so I probably get a little more coverage about this case than most. That being said, an interviewee made a statement, that I hope comes true, when the state begins to release it evidence against Mr Davis a lot of views are gonna change. You see, all we see is the media hype. I hope the state begins to release evidence that shows Troy Davis wasn't imprisoned or executed just for missing Sunday school.

    Second, some should read the case illinois vs gates. I know this case deals with search and seizure but the key satement of this case was "based on the totallity of the circumstances!" It was upheld, again I know it was about a search warrant but still they took everything in to account when looking at thwe case illinois vs gates.

  1069. And lastly I find it almost comical that half the people on here have read others posts or listened to the media half of this headline story and immediatley you know more about laws and all the evidence than any of the appeals courts and their judges that reviewed this case numerous times. 4 TIMES this case was appealed and not ONCE did it get overturned. Another thing. In2007 when his first stay was given, there was a clause put in there that he would not be executed unless there was NO DOUBT that he committed the crime. GUESS WHEN THE FIRST WITNESS' STARTED TO RECANT? They had 17 years to stew that they were the reason he was gonna die, even the 3 that were his friends and BOOM this was their chance to get him off the hook.. TO CREATE THAT DOUBT! I'm not saying I always agree with our judicial system but based on the totallity of the circumstance with all the appeals, I would say they got it right

  1070. To kill someone for justice is NOT ok. Murder is Murder no matter what you want to call it. Lets face it. When that kind of law exist so ofcourse if a extremly bad criminal made a crime like (the real murderer). Ofcourse he not want to die on his own since he know how the law works there. Then for him it was better after he have had a bad night sleep. To go and report someone else to die for the crime. and get some money as reward since they could get the cop killer. This can be a lie or truth. Who knows? One thing that is sure is that Troy Davis should not have get killed. 20 year was enough for him to be in prison. So people that love to kill people in the name of law. Have someone at any time in your life said you did something and it´s not true????? Would you want to die for it???? I guess not. Then stop this extremly stupid LAW and act like normal people that work for peace. War and Kill or fight is not peace. GOD says " You shall NOT kill" Amen

  1071. And since someone want to correct me and say GOD´s ten commandments is number 6 "You shall NOT murder" then if you prefer to be muslim it doesn´t matter. Religions do not accept murder. People shall live in peace.
    Police that lie and States that pretend to be GOD and think they can decide who shall die in the name of law? This is enought!
    I do not accept it and I believe there is more then me that not like this bullshit.

  1072. The Bible also speaks of the filthy communication of your mouth too, so how u gonna claim to be a Christian and lead ppl Gods way when u set here and use Scripture,commandments, God and cuss words all in the same paragraph. Maybe you should stop pretending to be something your not. The bible says that if a man offend in one point of the law then he is guilty of it all. This law is refering to scripture, so that being said, you are no different that those that you CLAIM killed troy davis. Maybe you should try cleaning your own back porch before u knock on someone elses door with your broom. All I am trying to say is all the courts and their respective judges all didn't get it wrong. Just sit back and wait on the state to show their evidence and then tell me what u think.

  1073. People say so much they believe in GOD. Then they break GOD´s LAW when they murder people in the name of their own LAW. That is to follow SATAN.

  1074. Good I wait for all evidence about that Troy Davis was the real murderer. But still that do not change the fact that Georgia killed a man in the name of what? LAW? People suppose to have a LAW to protect people. not that it shall be a risk that LAW can be used in a way to kill innocent people

  1075. So John you work there? since you know for sure that they will bring the evidence now after they have killed Troy Davis? How can we be sure this evidence will be true? since they had so long time to prof he did the crime but failed.

  1076. or you still want a LAW when the one that is on the death row have to go out and find the real murderer to prof it was true he was innocent.

  1077. Who said I work there? If you read my post about four posts up, i said I LIVE in GA so therefore I probaly get more news than others and a man made a statement that when the state releases their evidence against Mr. Davis then folks will change their mind. That is exactly what I said. No I dont work there. And evidently they have not failed at proving his guilt since several courts and judges heard the appeal and denied the stay…Just stop listening to the media and wait on the facts and evidence that are documented on the states behalf. Amnesty is only using this to abolish the death penalty. They dont care about you, troy, his family, or the next convict that gets the needle.. They want to brainwash folks just like you that an innocent man was killed so you will send your money, donate, get involved and pad their wallets. WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT before you continue to bash the judicial system. You have only half of the story

  1078. have u read those recanted witness statements? Did you notice where one said that Red took two guns and hid them, and then another said Red ask her to walk to Burger King so the police wouldnt think he had anything to do with it and said she noticed a gun in his pants and could see it through his white shirt?? did you read that? why would he go hide two guns but not a third one? and why would he go around sworms of cops with a gun in his pants? Whatever!! LOL All fabricated and all after the NO DOUBT clause was entered in 2007 on his first stay of execution

  1079. Well since I live in a country where we not have death row. Then it´s difficult for me to understand why that should be needed? Ofcourse I feel anger about for example that man in Norway since that crime is terrible and he even say that he plan to do more when he get out from jail. and other terrorist like that. ofcourse that can make me feel it would be better if he die. But then where is the line? When it can happen in other countries that it is enough if a married woman sleep with another man without evidence on that. for her to get killed by law. Well it´s better if someone do a crime then prison is enough. it´s very risky when it´s people that shall decide if someone shall die. because all jobs where people work. There can be mistakes. For example my english is far from perfect I know that. But thats how to be human. People can do wrong. and people can change. Lets say if Troy did the crime more then 20 years ago. All this year change people so he is not the kid he was then. and what happens if he was innocens. Then the police family believe justice is done but the murderer that killed the police is still on the streets laughing about that he fooled everybody and that nobody can find the truth. since the case is closed

  1080. Marita, i know a lot of muslims and they dont wish to kill anyone, they too believe in the 10 commandments as Moses and Jesus are also their Prophets, however it is the minority that do kill and take scripture out of context to justify their evil actions. It is this group that committed all of these atrocities not the rest of the muslim world. There is a minority in each religious/non religious belief system that to horrible things, but the rest of the world cannot be held responsible.

  1081. Sarah yes I also know muslims not accept killing. I hope I not write it in a wrong way before. I tryed to say that no religions accept murder. Since it happens that people want to blame religions as fast something happen.

  1082. yes, this is deeply unfortunate. There are many who twist and take scriptures out of context within religion, and also those who use their own morality or lack of to commit crimes that are not in religion. The fact is that a crime is a crime regardless of race, gender or religious or non religious beliefs, and I for one believe that those that commit crimes do so whilst ignoring their religious principals and actually dont even care about their religion, but rather commit crimes due to their own selfish intentions.

  1083. so then if no religions accept murder. There should not be any murder in the name of LAW or any name. Then they do the murder in their own name. and should need to go to prison.

  1084. several things that I find appealing. First, this debate still continues. I live here in Georgia, so I probably get a little more coverage about this case than most. That being said, an interviewee made a statement, that I hope comes true, when the state begins to release it evidence against Mr Davis a lot of views are gonna change. You see, all we see is the media hype. I hope the state begins to release evidence that shows Troy Davis wasn’t imprisoned or executed just for missing Sunday school.

    Second, some should read the case illinois vs gates. I know this case deals with search and seizure but the key satement of this case was “based on the totallity of the circumstances!” It was upheld, again I know it was about a search warrant but still they took everything in to account when looking at thwe case illinois vs gates.

  1085. And lastly I find it almost comical that half the people on here have read others posts or listened to the media half of this headline story and immediatley you know more about laws and all the evidence than any of the appeals courts and their judges that reviewed this case numerous times. 4 TIMES this case was appealed and not ONCE did it get overturned. Another thing. In2007 when his first stay was given, there was a clause put in there that he would not be executed unless there was NO DOUBT that he committed the crime. GUESS WHEN THE FIRST WITNESS’ STARTED TO RECANT? They had 17 years to stew that they were the reason he was gonna die, even the 3 that were his friends and BOOM this was their chance to get him off the hook.. TO CREATE THAT DOUBT! I’m not saying I always agree with our judicial system but based on the totallity of the circumstance with all the appeals, I would say they got it right

  1086. Well until we see this "convincing evidence" and "proof" that Troy Davis shot and murdered the policeman with his own hand, then we will not be ready to even start asking the following questions:
    1) Why have so many witnesses recanted their testimony
    2) Why have witness testimony been accepted for a death sentence when with the recanting they were clearly unreliable witnesses
    3) Since with the ommission of the witness testimonies, there was no other factors other than circumstantial as evidence, how can any one be convicted of a crime with no evidence?

  1087. To kill someone for justice is NOT ok. Murder is Murder no matter what you want to call it. Lets face it. When that kind of law exist so ofcourse if a extremly bad criminal made a crime like (the real murderer). Ofcourse he not want to die on his own since he know how the law works there. Then for him it was better after he have had a bad night sleep. To go and report someone else to die for the crime. and get some money as reward since they could get the cop killer. This can be a lie or truth. Who knows? One thing that is sure is that Troy Davis should not have get killed. 20 year was enough for him to be in prison. So people that love to kill people in the name of law. Have someone at any time in your life said you did something and it´s not true????? Would you want to die for it???? I guess not. Then stop this extremly stupid LAW and act like normal people that work for peace. War and Kill or fight is not peace. GOD says ” You shall NOT kill” Amen

  1088. And since someone want to correct me and say GOD´s ten commandments is number 6 “You shall NOT murder” then if you prefer to be muslim it doesn´t matter. Religions do not accept murder. People shall live in peace.
    Police that lie and States that pretend to be GOD and think they can decide who shall die in the name of law? This is enought!
    I do not accept it and I believe there is more then me that not like this bullshit.

  1089. The Bible also speaks of the filthy communication of your mouth too, so how u gonna claim to be a Christian and lead ppl Gods way when u set here and use Scripture,commandments, God and cuss words all in the same paragraph. Maybe you should stop pretending to be something your not. The bible says that if a man offend in one point of the law then he is guilty of it all. This law is refering to scripture, so that being said, you are no different that those that you CLAIM killed troy davis. Maybe you should try cleaning your own back porch before u knock on someone elses door with your broom. All I am trying to say is all the courts and their respective judges all didn’t get it wrong. Just sit back and wait on the state to show their evidence and then tell me what u think.

  1090. People say so much they believe in GOD. Then they break GOD´s LAW when they murder people in the name of their own LAW. That is to follow SATAN.

  1091. Good I wait for all evidence about that Troy Davis was the real murderer. But still that do not change the fact that Georgia killed a man in the name of what? LAW? People suppose to have a LAW to protect people. not that it shall be a risk that LAW can be used in a way to kill innocent people

  1092. So John you work there? since you know for sure that they will bring the evidence now after they have killed Troy Davis? How can we be sure this evidence will be true? since they had so long time to prof he did the crime but failed.

  1093. or you still want a LAW when the one that is on the death row have to go out and find the real murderer to prof it was true he was innocent.

  1094. Who said I work there? If you read my post about four posts up, i said I LIVE in GA so therefore I probaly get more news than others and a man made a statement that when the state releases their evidence against Mr. Davis then folks will change their mind. That is exactly what I said. No I dont work there. And evidently they have not failed at proving his guilt since several courts and judges heard the appeal and denied the stay…Just stop listening to the media and wait on the facts and evidence that are documented on the states behalf. Amnesty is only using this to abolish the death penalty. They dont care about you, troy, his family, or the next convict that gets the needle.. They want to brainwash folks just like you that an innocent man was killed so you will send your money, donate, get involved and pad their wallets. WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT before you continue to bash the judicial system. You have only half of the story

  1095. have u read those recanted witness statements? Did you notice where one said that Red took two guns and hid them, and then another said Red ask her to walk to Burger King so the police wouldnt think he had anything to do with it and said she noticed a gun in his pants and could see it through his white shirt?? did you read that? why would he go hide two guns but not a third one? and why would he go around sworms of cops with a gun in his pants? Whatever!! LOL All fabricated and all after the NO DOUBT clause was entered in 2007 on his first stay of execution

  1096. Well since I live in a country where we not have death row. Then it´s difficult for me to understand why that should be needed? Ofcourse I feel anger about for example that man in Norway since that crime is terrible and he even say that he plan to do more when he get out from jail. and other terrorist like that. ofcourse that can make me feel it would be better if he die. But then where is the line? When it can happen in other countries that it is enough if a married woman sleep with another man without evidence on that. for her to get killed by law. Well it´s better if someone do a crime then prison is enough. it´s very risky when it´s people that shall decide if someone shall die. because all jobs where people work. There can be mistakes. For example my english is far from perfect I know that. But thats how to be human. People can do wrong. and people can change. Lets say if Troy did the crime more then 20 years ago. All this year change people so he is not the kid he was then. and what happens if he was innocens. Then the police family believe justice is done but the murderer that killed the police is still on the streets laughing about that he fooled everybody and that nobody can find the truth. since the case is closed

  1097. Marita, i know a lot of muslims and they dont wish to kill anyone, they too believe in the 10 commandments as Moses and Jesus are also their Prophets, however it is the minority that do kill and take scripture out of context to justify their evil actions. It is this group that committed all of these atrocities not the rest of the muslim world. There is a minority in each religious/non religious belief system that to horrible things, but the rest of the world cannot be held responsible.

  1098. Sarah yes I also know muslims not accept killing. I hope I not write it in a wrong way before. I tryed to say that no religions accept murder. Since it happens that people want to blame religions as fast something happen.

  1099. yes, this is deeply unfortunate. There are many who twist and take scriptures out of context within religion, and also those who use their own morality or lack of to commit crimes that are not in religion. The fact is that a crime is a crime regardless of race, gender or religious or non religious beliefs, and I for one believe that those that commit crimes do so whilst ignoring their religious principals and actually dont even care about their religion, but rather commit crimes due to their own selfish intentions.

  1100. so then if no religions accept murder. There should not be any murder in the name of LAW or any name. Then they do the murder in their own name. and should need to go to prison.

  1101. Well until we see this “convincing evidence” and “proof” that Troy Davis shot and murdered the policeman with his own hand, then we will not be ready to even start asking the following questions:
    1) Why have so many witnesses recanted their testimony
    2) Why have witness testimony been accepted for a death sentence when with the recanting they were clearly unreliable witnesses
    3) Since with the ommission of the witness testimonies, there was no other factors other than circumstantial as evidence, how can any one be convicted of a crime with no evidence?

  1102. Well, you bleeding heart morons can go on and on about your guilt but not me. I'm so happy this murderous scum was exectued.

    I hope that anyone of you who feel so superior to those of us who have lost loved ones to heinous murderers like ol' Troy, get to feel what those of us who have lost loved one to filthy scum like your idol and false god Troy feel.

    Just so darn happy he's been removed from this earth. Only wish it would have been more painful for him. Oh well … I guess we can all thank God that that scum is gone. Thank you all for supporting me, especially Sarah UK, the liberal fool that she is.

  1103. Well, you bleeding heart morons can go on and on about your guilt but not me. I’m so happy this murderous scum was exectued.

    I hope that anyone of you who feel so superior to those of us who have lost loved ones to heinous murderers like ol’ Troy, get to feel what those of us who have lost loved one to filthy scum like your idol and false god Troy feel.

    Just so darn happy he’s been removed from this earth. Only wish it would have been more painful for him. Oh well … I guess we can all thank God that that scum is gone. Thank you all for supporting me, especially Sarah UK, the liberal fool that she is.

  1104. O'bert Ermillio what exaclty has happend? Sorry if you lost a loved one. Nobody here support that murderer kill people on the street or in homes or anywhere. But when someone have get killed then there has to be someone that shall be punished. Then it´s bad when the real murderer get reward = get money when he put a innocent person to death row. The murderer have then succes to kill again but this time people that support the first victim is happy. That is wrong because now it´s 2 victims that died and that is sad

  1105. The way the evidence seems to be.
    1. The police man get killed.
    2. The murderer get money when he put innocent person to death row.
    3. The innocent person get killed by law.

    This is a joke and a shame for all that work with justice.
    The murderer seems to have fooled them all and that is not to bring justice for the police officer.

  1106. That makes this LAW so dangerous and make people say "I am Troy Davis" Because a real murderer that do a crime. Can succes to get out from it when they just let someone else to be blamed for the crime. When there is no need of real evidence. When it is enough that people lie to get someone sent to death. That is not to stop crimes. That is just to kill more people. When the real murderer still walks free

  1107. What's the problem? At least they executed someone for it! That's the real aim and they found someone to blame and executed a man who happened to be around at the time. The goal was achieved. Everyone's happy now. The police can now close their case, the courts can slap each other on the back and smile contentedly, revenge has been taken on someone for the vile crime, everyone involved now can go home and get on with the rest of their lives…..after all, whatever mistakes they have made in their lives, they can try and correct their mistakes and do better next time, right? Job well done! Ok, there wasn't exactly any real physical evidence to pin this guy Troy Davis to the actual shooting of the policeman, except some circumstantial evidence, but hey, who cares? The police made up for this absence of evidence by making sure that they had 9 witnesses who they told to testify against Davis. Great, the court can be convinced! After all 9 witnesses! Who can argue with that? Oh yeah, I know about all the 7 of those witnesses who later said that they didn't tell the truth and that they were forced to say these things in court by the police and fear etc. But listen they did testify in court against Davis at the trial. Ok, yeah, I know, you say that if they changed their story, then they can't have been reliable witnesses in the first place, so the case should have been dismissed against Davis, but look, we've done all this work in 'convicting' Davis and if we had to start all over again from fresh and look for someone else, like the guy who admitted that he was the one who actually shot the policeman…well think of the expense that would cost! …think of the embarrasment of admitting that we got it wrong! I mean if you admit you got it wrong this time, next time you'll get every death row prisoner saying he was innocent! Just imagine…we locked up this guy for 22 yrs when he didn't even do the killing! Do you realise that if Davis was proved innocent, he could demand money for being wrongly imprisoned for the last 20 odd yrs…could be expensive!! Look, why don't we just forget all this and wrap this up….we executed someone for the crime and look who liked the guy anyway? 20 odd years ago, maybe he wasn't the best or model citizen we want and well, its not as if he was someone important, special, rich or white, so look forget about Davis…there's plenty more like him who can be used to take the punishment…….Wrong. Davis case needs to be re-examined…now!

  1108. O’bert Ermillio what exaclty has happend? Sorry if you lost a loved one. Nobody here support that murderer kill people on the street or in homes or anywhere.

  1112. @ David Booth … the police closed the book on this case many years ago. And you are correct, the goal has been achieved and many of us are not just happy but Very Happy that that murderous scum has been executed. However, many of us who mourn for the victims of this murderous scum's crime. Those of us who recognize the true victim as opposed to you bleeding-heart socialist liberals.

    And for all who want to bash the police, courts and such … why don't you tell us who the murder was instead of standing at the finish line and sceam bloody murder for the bloody murderer. Tell us who murdered this young father and police officer … and give us the proof.

    Didn't think so ……………………

    Why are you all focusing on the murderer? Why no concern or long-winded, bitter, finger-pointing, accusation filled rants for the victim of this murderous scum. Why not be concerned for the police officer and his survivors? Sure, a few of you will utter a brief word or sentence about them but then back to how horrible it is that this murderer is an angel and the world is all wrong?

    Law enforcement got it right, the courts got it right and with God's help, the soul of Troy Davis got put right where it belongs – in the depths of a burning hell.

    Quit your belly-aching. I thank God for the poison used to put this worthless excuse for a human being to death. Thank God for the execution of Troy Davis. And may God watch over the selfless and ever-watchful eyes of the courts and law enforcement who might give us another execution soon. Way to many left lingering on Death Row at the expense of the tax payer.

    Troy Davis has been executed praise God!!

  1114. Lets say your mother have 3 sons. call them number 1, 2 and 3. this sons are in the same place and 2 of the sons start to argue. Son number 1 shoot son number 2 and run away. Son number 3 run to son number 2 and try to hold him when he die so he get blood all over him. Son number 1 that run away call police and take son number 3 to prison. There is blood evidence on his clothes and he was on the place of the crime. No weapon and his word stand against son number 1. But son number 1 was the one that report it to police so police believe in him. Son number 3 gets to death row and die. The mother have now lost 2 children. Was son number 2 worth more then son number 3? And are she safe to live together with son number 1? with this I ask if there will be less crimes on the street when the real murderer walks free. No I don´t think so. It´s not enough to just take a random person and make people be happy in a fake way.

  1115. O'bert Ermillio you maybe should try to be careful about your happiness since GOD knows more then us. He maybe used Troy to make blind people see. There shall NOT be happiness about that someone die. Anybody can be next Troy Davis. Will you praise GOD if you get executed? if you not have done the crime? If you are son number 3? This is something very bad and if you open your eyes and try to see then you can find that there is people that have been put to death row that have been innocent. And I am sure Troy was innocent since the REAL murderer have told people he done the crime. But somehow LAW was not interested to listen to that. They prefer to listen to what people lie about in the first place. When they was in presure and was afraid so they just said what they think police wanted them to say so they could stay out of problem. Troy´s case have to much doubt. To be happy that a man die that can be innocent. I don´t think GOD is happy about that. If Adam and Eve was the first people on earth. Then we are all brother and sisters. Police officer and Troy was then brothers. and the real murderer walks free. That is NOTHING to be happy about.

  1116. @ Marita …. God made me happy because He knew I was happy He helped us catch, convict and finally execute a murderous piece of scum.

    Troy Davis has been executed praise God!!

  1117. @Marita

    People like O’bert Ermillio are not very logical creatures and will not understand what you say. They view the world through a very narrow lens and and so they do not see the bigger picture. Marita, even if Jesus came down and told everyone Troy was innocent people like O'berty would still not believe it. Theres no point in flogging a dead horse is there? he will never see or understand the truth even if it came up to him and slapped him around the face, just ignore him im sure you have better things to do with your time and energy than to use it on waste like him, a hate spewing troll. And finally, just do the best you can to help others, be the change you want to see in the world and all the best!! =D

  1118. @O'bert Ermillio

    "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" – Isaiah 5:20

    First- I'm not a "liberal". I',m anything but "liberal". If you wanted to pigeon hole me politically, you would have to assess me as "conservative". No one who knows me would in their right mind describe me as "liberal", so you've got that wrong.

    Secondly – I'm a Christian and for me, any political ideas have to be in alignment with the Bible.

    Thirdly – I'm not focussing on the murderer and neither are you, because the murderer has not yet been apprehended.

    Fourth – re your comment "the courts got it right and with God’s help, the soul of Troy Davis got put right where it belongs – in the depths of a burning hell" – these are not the words of a Christian, but a carnal judgementalism. IF the courts had "got it right", this case would never have received the attention it has received. IF the courts had "got it right", 7 witnesses would never have recanted their statements and admitted that they didn't tell the truth because they were pressured by the police and frightened. IF the courts had "got it right", they would have ruled the conviction to be unsafe since it entirely relied upon the witnesses who have subsequently told the world that their statements were untrue. You cannot have a "right" verdict based upon false witness testimonies. No court can maintain its integrity by sentencing someone to death on the basis of lies!…but of course if you are someone who tells lies and upholds the lies of other people, then I understand your position.
    So in Isaiah 5:20 if you call injustice to be "good" and lies to be "truth", then the Bible itself condemns you of your evil. God "is not a man that he should lie", so in this case, God's help was not sought, but rather "false testimony".

    Also, anyone who "rejoices" over the idea of someone being sent to hell, is not a Christian but is instead, a servant of the evil one. Remember the destination of servants of the evil one and be warned in respect of your unclean spiritual state!

    The 9th of the 10 Commandments says this:
    "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour"! When a court upholds ungodliness like bearing false witness against a person and in this case to the consequence of execution, that court becomes guilty of the blood of that person's life!

    Genesis 4:9 "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
    4:10) "And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."

    When you kill an innocent person, their blood cries out from the ground and you will be judged by the Lord on their account! So too, those who add their voices in judgementalism! Remember Christ said "Judge not, that you may not be judged". When you falsely judge a person in this life….you WILL likewise YOURSELF, fall into a situation where YOU will be judged! Remember that I have told you this and when it happens at some time in your future, know that it is God's repayment to you for your judgementalism.

  1119. those that support the murder of an innocent man will also be held accountable on the Day of Judgement, so O'berty if you support this crime then your seriously screwed when you meet your maker.

  1120. But now done is done. If they get the real murderer then it´s to late to bring Troy back. so there is no need to kill the real murderer . since there is people that not care about justice and prefer to have murderers on the street as long as they have put someone else to die for the crime. Prison is enough. and in this case it seems to be many that should need to sit there. Because it is not good to go and kill innocent people and call it LAW.

  1121. Marita, just pray for Troys soul, and of those countless others who have died innocently, and pray for their murders and supporters like O'berty here too be brought to justice in the court of God, not the flawed system of the court of Man.

  1122. O'bert Ermillio it´s not GOD that make you happy. It is SATAN. you do not care about justice. you want to see more people get killed. and since it is LAW that killes then you believe it is right. But people that work with LAW can do wrong.

  1123. Marita just ignore this idiot. Hes not worth your precious time and energy, everyone who has sense will see what an idiot he is, if believing that Troy was a murderer helps him sleep easy at night then let him, you've done your best, we all have, now lets worry about other things. All we can do is pray for Troys soul and ask God to guide his misguided creature (O'Bert) and just leave it at that.

  1124. @Sarah and Marita
    Are you aware of the death sentence passed upon Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani of Iran?
    He has been sentenced to death by the Iranian Supreme Court for practicing his faith as a Christian. He has been brought before the court 3 or 4 times and told to recant or renounce his faith in Christ. Of course as a devout Christian he cannot do this because this would be the same as denying the Lord Jesus Christ who did not deny him when he died on the cross. He has a young wife and family with 2 small boys. They are clearly a very loving close Christian family with a deep faith in Christ, which the pastor cannot recant, but for this and practicing his faith in obedience to Christ, he has been sentenced to death.

    No one can tell how imminent his execution may be. Some reports say it may not happen, but in truth, the court has not annulled the sentence, and unless it does, he could be hanged at any moment.

    I have looked to see if Amnesty International has petition on his behalf but have not found one!

  1125. well maybe its time we start our own petitions. I dont understand though, there have been Christians and i think Jews living in Iran for ages and this is the first i have heard about this. Im not speaking on favour of Iran but maybe there is more to this story than meets the eye, maybe he did something bad. Either way, its wrong to kill someone based on his faith, as the Quran does say "Let there be no compulsion in religion" 2:256.

    I like to know exactly whats going on before i make a judgement but thanks for bringing this to light and i will research it.

  1126. @Sarah,
    Well last Christmas there were at least 250 Christians arrested in a crackdown on Christians and churches in Iran. Many are still in prison, uncharged. The Iranian authorities are concerned about the growth of the number of Christians in Iran.
    To the best of my knowledge, the only "wrong" thing Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has done is to share the gospel with some children. For this, he must be executed.
    The verse "Let there be no compulsion in religion" is very misleading and it does not apply unfortunately in this situation (or in any situation in which Islam feels "compromised") In this case, we are talking about the traditional punishment for Apostasy – that is he was born to a muslim family, but converted to Christ and is now a Christian pastor.
    I hope you know that there is nothing new about this kind of thing! It has been happening for a long time over the muslim world.

  1127. i hate the fact that people are being wrongly accused of things they didnt do in the west, and being killed for their beliefs in the East yet both sides claim to be 'fair' and 'just' i really dont understand whats happened to this world and what people answer to their Lord on the Day of Judgement.

  1128. thanks David, with so much injustice in the world it makes me think whether this really is the end times, i wouldn't be surprised…

  1129. @Sarah,
    There is far more going on in the world of faith and it's dynamics than the average westerner is aware of. In most western countries, faith and religion is seen as something being consigned to the past…in favour of a generally atheistic and agnostic beligerance. Science, technology, democracy, equal rights and consumerism have become the main gods of the west.

    Even if western countries think like this, religious and faith issues with very serious consequences far from the western mind, will soon be overtaking their attention. Sadly, most of the west is in a state of spiritual sleep. The world dynamics are set to change dramatically during the next few decades.

  1130. @Sarah,
    re "thanks David, with so much injustice in the world it makes me think whether this really is the end times, i wouldn’t be surprised"

    If you want to talk more on this issue, then I have plenty of thoughts that I can offer you! And yes, there is enough happening in the political world that now matches the prophetic world of the Bible! Most of the west has consigned the Bible to a dusty bookshelf or worse to the garbage bin.

    In the 1970-80's many books were written about Biblical prophecy and they talked a lot about 10 european nations, the RC church, the Pope, etc, etc. None of these books convinced me of anything. In the last decade the panorama of people trying to match the political world with Bibilical prophecies, has become an altogether MORE convincing argument!

    Today, a different picture has emerged which, while it does not and cannot "predict" what will happen, when etc in terms of literal time, it IS now showing us the lining up of undeniable factors which figure unmistakably in the Biblical prophecies!

    I wouldn't have given the previous lot of prophecies any credence at all, but today's picture is an altogether more convincing one and the West would do well to wake up to it!

    As this probably isn't the place to extend a discussion like this, you would be welcome to use any other online means to share this discussion, but let me know and we can set up someway of doing it.

  1131. oh yes!! i would love to know about the Bibles version of the end times, ive studied Islamic views on it and a little of Christianity, and still want to see what Judaism says as well. But from my understanding the Shia Islamic view of it is similar to Christianity, in the sense that they both believe Jesus will reappear.

  1132. Lets say your mother have 3 sons. call them number 1, 2 and 3. this sons are in the same place and 2 of the sons start to argue. Son number 1 shoot son number 2 and run away. Son number 3 run to son number 2 and try to hold him when he die so he get blood all over him. Son number 1 that run away call police and take son number 3 to prison. There is blood evidence on his clothes and he was on the place of the crime. No weapon and his word stand against son number 1. But son number 1 was the one that report it to police so police believe in him. Son number 3 gets to death row and die. The mother have now lost 2 children. Was son number 2 worth more then son number 3? And are she safe to live together with son number 1? with this I ask if there will be less crimes on the street when the real murderer walks free. No I don´t think so. It´s not enough to just take a random person and make people be happy in a fake way.

  1133. Great! Well, I'd like to hear your views and what you have learned about Islamic eschatology. Well the to surprise of most people, the Biblical and Islamic eschatologies seem to converge, but in a perverse way, in that the one mirrors the other in reverse! The implications are profound and radically challenge commonly accepted ideas of religions, held in the West.

    Perhaps we can use email or create some sort of social networking space, like youtube?

    I think we should keep this page for Troy Davis because I still believe that the only way that the executions of innocent people can be challenged is by examining the cases both Before and After the execution. If the evidence is seen to be against the conviction, then this should start to send messages that integrity of judicial systems cannot be maintained by the human sacrifices of wrongly convicted citizens. I'd like to see some kind of international body that can examine the evidence of these cases and exhonerate the wrongly executed and fine courts/states responsible.

  1134. O’bert Ermillio you maybe should try to be careful about your happiness since GOD knows more then us. He maybe used Troy to make blind people see. There shall NOT be happiness about that someone die. Anybody can be next Troy Davis. Will you praise GOD if you get executed? if you not have done the crime? If you are son number 3? This is something very bad and if you open your eyes and try to see then you can find that there is people that have been put to death row that have been innocent. And I am sure Troy was innocent since the REAL murderer have told people he done the crime. But somehow LAW was not interested to listen to that. They prefer to listen to what people lie about in the first place. When they was in presure and was afraid so they just said what they think police wanted them to say so they could stay out of problem. Troy´s case have to much doubt. To be happy that a man die that can be innocent. I don´t think GOD is happy about that. If Adam and Eve was the first people on earth. Then we are all brother and sisters. Police officer and Troy was then brothers. and the real murderer walks free. That is NOTHING to be happy about.

  1136. @ Marita …. God made me happy because He knew I was happy He helped us catch, convict and finally execute a murderous piece of scum.

    People like O’bert Ermillio are not very logical creatures and will not understand what you say. They view the world through a very narrow lens and and so they do not see the bigger picture. Marita, even if Jesus came down and told everyone Troy was innocent people like O’berty would still not believe it. Theres no point in flogging a dead horse is there? he will never see or understand the truth even if it came up to him and slapped him around the face, just ignore him im sure you have better things to do with your time and energy than to use it on waste like him, a hate spewing troll. And finally, just do the best you can to help others, be the change you want to see in the world and all the best!! =D

  1138. @O’bert Ermillio

    “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” – Isaiah 5:20

    First- I’m not a “liberal”. I’,m anything but “liberal”. If you wanted to pigeon hole me politically, you would have to assess me as “conservative”. No one who knows me would in their right mind describe me as “liberal”, so you’ve got that wrong.

    Secondly – I’m a Christian and for me, any political ideas have to be in alignment with the Bible.

    Thirdly – I’m not focussing on the murderer and neither are you, because the murderer has not yet been apprehended.

    Fourth – re your comment “the courts got it right and with God’s help, the soul of Troy Davis got put right where it belongs – in the depths of a burning hell” – these are not the words of a Christian, but a carnal judgementalism. IF the courts had “got it right”, this case would never have received the attention it has received. IF the courts had “got it right”, 7 witnesses would never have recanted their statements and admitted that they didn’t tell the truth because they were pressured by the police and frightened. IF the courts had “got it right”, they would have ruled the conviction to be unsafe since it entirely relied upon the witnesses who have subsequently told the world that their statements were untrue. You cannot have a “right” verdict based upon false witness testimonies. No court can maintain its integrity by sentencing someone to death on the basis of lies!…but of course if you are someone who tells lies and upholds the lies of other people, then I understand your position.
    So in Isaiah 5:20 if you call injustice to be “good” and lies to be “truth”, then the Bible itself condemns you of your evil. God “is not a man that he should lie”, so in this case, God’s help was not sought, but rather “false testimony”.

    Also, anyone who “rejoices” over the idea of someone being sent to hell, is not a Christian but is instead, a servant of the evil one. Remember the destination of servants of the evil one and be warned in respect of your unclean spiritual state!

    The 9th of the 10 Commandments says this:
    “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour”! When a court upholds ungodliness like bearing false witness against a person and in this case to the consequence of execution, that court becomes guilty of the blood of that person’s life!

    Genesis 4:9 “And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?”
    4:10) “And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.”

    When you kill an innocent person, their blood cries out from the ground and you will be judged by the Lord on their account! So too, those who add their voices in judgementalism! Remember Christ said “Judge not, that you may not be judged”. When you falsely judge a person in this life….you WILL likewise YOURSELF, fall into a situation where YOU will be judged! Remember that I have told you this and when it happens at some time in your future, know that it is God’s repayment to you for your judgementalism.

  1139. those that support the murder of an innocent man will also be held accountable on the Day of Judgement, so O’berty if you support this crime then your seriously screwed when you meet your maker.

  1140. But now done is done. If they get the real murderer then it´s to late to bring Troy back. so there is no need to kill the real murderer . since there is people that not care about justice and prefer to have murderers on the street as long as they have put someone else to die for the crime. Prison is enough. and in this case it seems to be many that should need to sit there. Because it is not good to go and kill innocent people and call it LAW.

  1141. Marita, just pray for Troys soul, and of those countless others who have died innocently, and pray for their murders and supporters like O’berty here too be brought to justice in the court of God, not the flawed system of the court of Man.

  1142. O’bert Ermillio it´s not GOD that make you happy. It is SATAN. you do not care about justice. you want to see more people get killed. and since it is LAW that killes then you believe it is right. But people that work with LAW can do wrong.

  1143. Marita just ignore this idiot. Hes not worth your precious time and energy, everyone who has sense will see what an idiot he is, if believing that Troy was a murderer helps him sleep easy at night then let him, you’ve done your best, we all have, now lets worry about other things. All we can do is pray for Troys soul and ask God to guide his misguided creature (O’Bert) and just leave it at that.

  1144. @Sarah and Marita
    Are you aware of the death sentence passed upon Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani of Iran?
    He has been sentenced to death by the Iranian Supreme Court for practicing his faith as a Christian. He has been brought before the court 3 or 4 times and told to recant or renounce his faith in Christ. Of course as a devout Christian he cannot do this because this would be the same as denying the Lord Jesus Christ who did not deny him when he died on the cross. He has a young wife and family with 2 small boys. They are clearly a very loving close Christian family with a deep faith in Christ, which the pastor cannot recant, but for this and practicing his faith in obedience to Christ, he has been sentenced to death.

    No one can tell how imminent his execution may be. Some reports say it may not happen, but in truth, the court has not annulled the sentence, and unless it does, he could be hanged at any moment.

    I have looked to see if Amnesty International has petition on his behalf but have not found one!

  1145. well maybe its time we start our own petitions. I dont understand though, there have been Christians and i think Jews living in Iran for ages and this is the first i have heard about this. Im not speaking on favour of Iran but maybe there is more to this story than meets the eye, maybe he did something bad. Either way, its wrong to kill someone based on his faith, as the Quran does say “Let there be no compulsion in religion” 2:256.

    I like to know exactly whats going on before i make a judgement but thanks for bringing this to light and i will research it.

  1146. @Sarah,
    Well last Christmas there were at least 250 Christians arrested in a crackdown on Christians and churches in Iran. Many are still in prison, uncharged. The Iranian authorities are concerned about the growth of the number of Christians in Iran.
    To the best of my knowledge, the only “wrong” thing Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has done is to share the gospel with some children. For this, he must be executed.

Those of you who worship at the feet of this satan like entity must deal with that on your own. However, I am so pleased that the system worked and this world is minus one evil, murderous scum.
