Facts You May Not Know About the Troy Davis Case

If he did it, let him hang , as the law dictates. If there is reasonable doubt, again as the law dictates, then let his life be spared.

THE bottom line is that they have not founded the real killer and just wants to kill someone illeagally.

Ok this is a long shot if today the board wants to go on with lethal inject I have a idea that might take it back the Supreme court just might work, send word to his lawyer and tell them that the state of GA does not have the Constitutional right to move forward with this inject because when the Constitution was sign African American were never a part of the paper and still not today,and the forefathers who sign this paper have since died and it was not ever resign to make all mankind equal in this country, and also a woman never was never written upon this paper, a woman duties are no longer in the kitchen and bedroom as most people think and say, but for this man if the witness change they stories the courts need to look at this thing more clearly before it cost taxpayers and this man his life, no gun was found no nothing no DNA so how can we judge this man, now let argument this before the high court before we try and kill a innocent man, and tell them BLACXKCOBRA said that cause my teacher taught me to say that which was in the civil rights movement,along with Dr. King
Thank u

Read the story, a complicated one and seriously typical of individuals caught in the “line of fire” getting involved with the wrong people. Their is so much to this case that has not been forthcoming, by media, family or law enforcement. I don’t think this case is as cute and dry as individuals are trying to present. There are a lot of factors of concern here, starting with the incident leading up to the shooting and disappearance of those witnessing this altercation. When the officer was shoot, did  these three simply scatter, Davis claims he left before the shooting. So therefore he didn’t witness what occurred, sounds fishy. He may just be innocent, but knows what occurred and unfortunate for him he didn’t come forward before Coles had a chance to implicate him. Don’t put emphasis on racism, because it was his ‘black’ associates that implicated him in this in the first place. Police coercion, there is a lot more going on here than simply dragging racism into this picture. Certainly racism might be a factor, but look at the whole entire picture. Look at the players in this tragedy, the other suspects and so-called witnesses who all originally implicated Davis, and I don’t buy that police coercion explanation for the entire bunch. There are two sides here, which haven’t been addressed.

my understanding is that all of those recantations, none of them were done in a court of law, is that true?  

Well the USA has 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s prison population. Some other countries that have the death penalty are Saudi Arabia, Cuba, North Korea and China. European countries, Australia, Canada, Mexico and other civilized countries do not. Does this tell you something.

It is over for Troy. After reading about this case, it certainly seems confusing in a few ways.  I want to believe he did not do it. The other gun incident, however, the one that tied the two incidents together via the ballistics, remains a big factor against.  I have not read anything that really addresses that part. I do agree that there seems to be reasonable doubt about this.

There is no doubt though that the racist BS on this thread should stop. Nothing good can possibly come from it.  Those of you who want to point fingers might want to consider getting up off your butt and becoming part of the solution. Until then, you are part of the problem.

me being who i am, have a black mother n white father, i think i am able to put my oppinion in this matter without bein called racist and supporting white supremacey, for one, troy davis has been on death row for 20 years for what killing a cop , thier is niggas out here killing people everyday, just becasue they can, adn all they get is 3 hot n a cot for 5-10, just because someone has a better job then you doesnt make it right to put that person to death, so what cops get killed all the time, it is a race thing, i mean foreal, look at that white girl, casey anthoney, bitch killed her own child and she get a one way ticket to fukin cancun mexico, why casue she is white, ohh so its okay ifa white bitch kills her baby, but a nigga cant kill a cop, i mean fuck when u grow up in the streets n grown to hate cops, what the fuck do you expect a nigga to do, but the man served 20 years, another 20 years he would have been dead anyway, why just not let him spend his time , and pass on sleepin in the night, but no the white man, has to say fuck tat we need his bed, no forreal our justice system s so fucked up that a ngga robs a liquor store and gets more time then a white man rapin a bitch, pure point blank no matter if he killed that cop or not, troy davis didnt deserve to die

For those who took any time at all to study the details in the case of Troy Davis, the facts seem to vindicate the system that condemned him. His defense claimed there were only 9 witnesses when in fact there were 34 who witnessed the brutal murder that night. The defense claimed seven of those witnesses recanted when in fact only two offered recantations of any substance. When the defense was offered the opportunity to bring them into an appeals court to testify they refused to do so and one can only assume that the Davis team realized that their changed testimony wouldn’t hold up in court.

Three of the thirty-four witnesses were Air Force personnel who were sitting in a bus that night. When asked if they would recant they replied that they would not! One never forgets, not even after 20 years when one man stands over another and shoots him in the face.

The defense also claimed there was no physical evidence even though the shell casings picked up in the parking lot that night matched shell casings that Troy Davis had used in a previous shooting that very evening. Jurors obviously were not told of the bloody shorts found in Troy Davis’ laundry by investigators.

After multiple appeals over a twenty year period, every court and every judge along the way declared the guilt of Troy Davis. When this information reached the highest court in the land they could find no reason to overturn what had been decided again and again by the lower courts.

I was astonished to see protestors wearing signs that declared, “I am Troy Davis.” Troy Davis had been declared a cold blooded murderer. Why would anyone want to be Troy Davis?
