Petition: Urgent: Innocent man about to be executed

[RKP5637]

From: MoveOn.org Civic Action. (Below is an email from Ana Zamora from Death Penalty Focus, who created a petition at SignOn.org that is getting a lot of attention and may be of interest to you.)

Troy Davis could be executed as soon as September 21, 2011, for a crime he did not commit. Davis is on death row in Georgia for the 1991 murder of police officer Mark MacPhail. However, since his conviction, seven of the nine witnesses who testified against him have recanted and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime.

No one should be executed when there are so many doubts about guilt. It is more important than ever that we continue to let Georgia authorities know that we oppose any effort to execute Troy Davis.

We, the undersigned, call on Georgia authorities to take all steps necessary to ensure that Troy Anthony Davis is not executed. Seven of the nine witnesses have changed their story and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime. No one should be executed, especially when there are so many doubts about guilt.

5. Mr. Davis' sisters were on Democracy News hour this a.m,, said of

the two witnesses who haven't recanted, one of them is the real killer.

It was admission of guilt by Mr. Davis by coercion by law enforcement.

6. SCOTUS intervened last night.....no execution for now anyway

9. Actually, they intervened on behalf of a different prisoner in

Texas. Troy Davis is still set to die on Sept. 21.

7. Thank you. Shout this from the rooftops.

Please let us be civilized. Please let us transcend the base of human nature. It takes effort. It takes work. We must do this, or else.
