TROY DAVIS PSA 2 - FTP MOVEMENT
7 0F 9 WITNESSES RECANTED
NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
NO GUN
NEW WITNESSES IMPLICATE OTHER SUSPECT
EVIDENCE NEVER HEARD BY JURY
GIVE TROY DAVIS A NEW TRIAL
As the trickle of wrongful convictions around the country becomes a torrent, we are reminded of the case of Troy Anthony Davis, who is nearing the end of his appeals in Georgia.
Troy Anthony Davis has been on death row in Georgia for more than 15 years for the murder of a police officer he maintains he did not commit. Given that all but three of the witnesses who testified against Troy Davis at his trial have since recanted or contradicted their testimony amidst allegations that some of it had been made under police duress, there are serious and as yet unanswered questions surrounding the reliability of his conviction and the state's conduct in obtaining it. As the case currently stands, the government's pursuit of the death penalty contravenes international safeguards which prohibit the execution of anyone whose guilt is not based on “clear and convincing evidence leaving no room for an alternative explanation of the facts.”
Amnesty International does not know if Troy Davis is guilty or innocent of the crime for which he is facing execution. As an abolitionist organization, it opposes his death sentence either way. It nevertheless believes that this is one in a long line of cases in the USA that should give even ardent supporters of the death penalty pause for thought. For it provides further evidence of the danger, inherent in the death penalty, of irrevocable error. As the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court wrote in 1993, “It is an unalterable fact that our judicial system, like the human beings who administer it, is fallible.” Or as a US federal judge said in 2006, "The assessment of the death penalty, however well designed the system for doing so, remains a human endeavor with a consequent risk of error that may not be remediable.”
The case of Troy Davis is a reminder of the legal hurdles that death row inmates must overcome in the USA in order to obtain remedies in the appeal courts. In this regard, Amnesty International fears that Troy Davis' avenues for judicial relief have been all but closed off. In particular, he is caught in a trap set by US Congress a decade ago when it withdrew funding from post-conviction defender organizations in 1995 and passed the Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act in 1996.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ANOTHER INNOCENT MAN ON DEATHROW.
It's incredible, we had a transmission of thought. I was reading an article about you and very recent. Every day I watch if there is not a new article announcing your innocence and you are released. I am certain of your innocence and I am sure that soon you'll be free. It is true that this is an eternity that you are in the corridor of death. But I believe in my sixth sense and I hope with all my heart for you..
Happy 2010! It is time to reexamine the facts, and free Troy! Justice is not a privilege, it is a right! May you have a joyous and spiritual year! Cheers!
