Troy Davis, a black man, had been sentenced to deathrow for ultimately murdering a police officer. Though 7 out of the 9 former witness have recentley recanted their statements, saying that Davis wasn't the killer, the GA Pardon Board has decided to no longer review the case and to go forward with the execution by injection that has been scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 21,2011 at 7pm. QUESTION...Why has it taken so long to review this case in the first place? The slaying of the Savannah officer took place in 1989...it is now 2011, almost 2012. What's really going on?
Social medias such as Twitter and Facebook have really gone crazy over this case because the ruling seems quite unfair and unjust. Many have compared Troy Davis' case to the most recent of Casey Anthony--a white woman-- who killed her own child. What message are we sending America? This is a powerful movement because it does indeed allow us to come together and unite in PRAYER. People from ALL alks of life are participating in the event to do as much as possible to avoid Davis from execution. Like Casey Anthony's case, there is no specific evidence.
She was freed and half of the world wanted her dead because the evidence and clues presented pointed her as guilty. Troy Davis has no specific evidence and 7 witnesses on his side YET he is still scheduled for death. It's unequal. It's not justice for ALL. Its not standing united and falling divided. Its racial discrimination--no matter how many ways you break it down, tear it up, and split up pros and cons. This is America. #PRAYorDIE.
