The Case of Troy Davis

[Jester]

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.

One would hope, but where the death penalty, race, and American justice intersect, I'm afraid I haven't got a whole lot of hope to spare.
