The Case of Troy Davis

I'll agree that the police seemed to have railroaded things, but again, the court system is supposed to help stop that. You can not put all this on the police.
You are right, it takes a few things. Circumstances that place the defendant in the wrong place at the wrong time, a rush to judgment by the investigators, buy in from the prosecutor, and a very poor defense. In this case, the defense failed to get a change of venue, failed to identify the testimony as coerced, and failed to make the counter case against Coles (whose gun probably did the killing). If anything, this case reinforces a maxim I've lived, in that if you don't want bad things to happen to you, then be aware of where you are, and who is around you. Many times in my youth, when things began to get a little crazy at parties I would round up my friends and leave only to hear about the police raids the next day.
