News Listen to Troy Davis
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Last week, Amnesty International began circulating a recorded statement from convicted cop-killer Troy Davis, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection tomorrow.
In the recording, Davis says:
I've been sitting on Georgia's death row for 16 years for a crime I did not commit. And I struggle for me and my family, as well as the victim's family, who I sympathize with daily because they have been cheated out of justice just as I have. They deserve justice more than anyone deserves justice.
Evidence that was unearthed after Davis' conviction of the 1989 murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail suggests he might not have committed the crime.
