If anyone has been following the news about the Death Sentence of Troy Anthony Davis in Georgia, its quite an interesting read.
About 18 years ago the police officer was murdered, people testified Sylvester Coles was the killer, Davis was arrested, Coles said Davis was the killer. Davis turned himself in knowing he was innocent. The police put pressure on people to testify against Davis, just to recant later due to police abuse. His lawyers showed up drunk, (and disbarred later), and Georgia has no appeals process for death row inmates. (Quicker to execute em that way…)
And to top this off, the Federal government passed a dip-shit law to execute McVeigh quicker, which fucked innocent people on death row looking for a Federal Appeal. (Congress leave shit alone already..)
I’m not sure if this guy is guilty, the police beat testimonies from people to have them recanted. The prosecutor hid evidence.
This is why modern countries don’t have the death penalty, Cops cant be trusted to do their job when it comes to cop killers. They lock onto a wrong man, and will beat confessions or testimony.
Its 2007, and we still have this bullshit from the courts on death row inmates.* Execution is a desperate act for a corrupt political system.
