The Case of Troy Davis

[kandrathe]

Well, you know, eggs and omelettes and what have you. Can't run a justice system without occasionally framing a minority and sentencing them to death with little or no recourse or appeal; it would be tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars to do otherwise.

This is the type of case where there should be sufficient physical evidence, like finger prints on the gun, powder residue on the suspect, or other forensic evidence. Rather, this case relies on only eye witness testimony, of which 6 of the 8 have recanted. One of the eye witnesses might be the actual gun man, and the other's memory has improved with age where at first he was uncertain. This is too flimsy a case to go to the death penalty.
