Speak out for Justice! Urge the Georgia Board of Pardons & Paroles to grant clemency to Troy Davis In Georgia, Troy Anthony Davis is scheduled to be executed October 27th, despite evidence of his innocence.  We need your help to tell the Georgia Board of Pardons & Paroles to give Troy Davis clemency.   Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia.  According to Amnesty International, the case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony that contained inconsistencies, even at trial.  Since then, all but two of the state's nine non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony. Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced into testifying or signing statements. The case of Troy Davis reminds us that so long as the death penalty exists, the risk of executing the innocent can never be eradicated.

November 20, 2009 Subject: Clemency For Troy Davis Dear Georgia State Board of Pardons & Paroles, I am writing to urge you to grant clemency to Troy Anthony Davis. Americans like myself are deeply concerned about the risk of executing an innocent person. The eyes of the nation are on Georgia as you consider carrying out the most ultimate and irreversible punishment in a case with no physical evidence and in which most of the witnesses have since recanted. I agree with your wise decision to stay Davis' execution in July 2007. I urge you to stand by your statement that the board "will not allow an execution to proceed in this State unless and until its members are convinced that there is no doubt as to the guilt of the accused." Considerable doubts remain in this case. DNA and death row exonerations across the country illustrate the grave potential for error. Again, I urge you to grant clemency to Troy Davis. Thank you. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
