Take Acton To Stop Georgia From Executing Troy Davis |
|
Troy Anthony Davis
is currently on death row in Georgia and his execution is now scheduled
for September 23rd, 2008. In 1991, Troy was convicted in the murder of
off-duty police officer Marc MacPhail largely on the basis of
eyewitness testimony—no physical evidence links him to the crime.
Since his trial, seven of nine eyewitnesses have recanted their
original statements, yet federal law
prevents these new eyewitness statements from being heard. On September
12, 2008 he was denied clemency by the Georgia Board of Pardons and
Paroles.
