Troy Davis

Troy Anthony Davis was born October 9,1968. He is an african american male who was convicted of shooting and killing a cop.  Seven witnesses testified that they had seen Davis kill the cop.  However, gun used to kill the cop was never found.  Because the bullets in the murder weapon matched bullets from another murder that Davis was implied in, he was automatically imprisoned and set to be executed via death penalty.  David continually remained at a "not guilty"plea since the muder.  Later on in the case the same witnesses whom ham implied Davis in this murder changed their story by saying they never saw Davis murder the cop.  This seems like a story of an african american man wrongfully accused of the murder of a white police officer.  Davis seems to be a victin of being african american.  It's unfortunate that some of the same prejudices that existed back in slavery days still lurk around today.  Who has the ultimate say over life and death?  It shouldn't be a corrupt and racist judicial system, neither a judge or jury who wasn't present when the murder occurred.  Only our creator should have such a power.  If Davis was convicted of an earlier murder then he should pay for his crime as any other person should.  His life shouldn't be taken because the bullets match another murder.  Nor should his life be taken because of the color of his skin.  Check out this website as it welcomes you into the life of an innocent black man who became a true victim of murder.  http://troyanthonydavis.org/
