Amnesty International, the organization that asked us to put ourselves in Troy Davis' shoes, is asking us to remember that he still needs our attention to get the justice he deserves:
"Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a Georgia police officer in 1991. Nearly two decades later, Davis remains on death row – even though the case against him has fallen apart. On August 17, 2009, the Supreme Court issued an order mandating a new evidentiary hearing in his case. The hearing took place on June 23-24, 2010, and on August 24, Judge William T. Moore, Jr., ruled that Troy Davis had not met an “extraordinarily high” standard for clearly establishing his innocence. The judge did rule that it would be unconstitutional to execute an innocent person. An appeal is likely. » Learn more about Troy Davis" » Take action: Troy Davis' birthday is October 9. Send him a card to show your support!
