RIP To Troy Davis

[Silcc69]

wow, all this Faux grief over something nobody has heard of until 9/21/2011. All this crap about a case nobody knows a damn thing about or cared about 72 hours ago. Read a few articles - and bam its like you slept at a holiday inn express last night - yall know everything about the case. Good grief. what a bunch of morons.

And all the jackwads railing about the lawyers, judges, republicans and teabaggers and whatever else you are ranting about? You are just as ugly and twisted as they are. Get a grip.

I guess the evidence goes out the window then but your reply is pretty much what I expected anyways. But you do know a black guy got off Death Row in Texas(Hello Rick "Captain DP" Perry) who did kill his girl, the guy she cheated on him with and he injured his sister

Right....you're the same guy who knows when white folks are even thinking racist thoughts, and even if you're wrong .....so what...they're just white folks and no doubt they did a brotha wrong at some point. LMAO I think you've pretty much revealed yourself in the same category as Al Sharpton in the Tawana Brawley case on issues such as these. You can't be taken seriously, and it's your own doing

Again a reason against the death penalty. Better to lock 100 guilty people up for life instead of killing them then kill one innocent man.

So, let me get this straight. You're saying that we should allow 99 MURDERERS live (on our tax dollars) just because there might be one innocent man.

As far as Jeremy Irons and amnesty international; "Life is a human right, therefore we should abolish the death peanalty." Didn't the murder victums have the same Right to Life? Perhaps prosecuters should, in the future, include human rights violations in their list of charges in a murder case.

Furthermore, where was this outrage when Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed. Does he not have an inalienable right to life?

I can see you didn't even click that link or maybe you did but maybe you have no clue what I was talking about. And what on earth does Al Sharpton have to do with anything on here? He's as much of a blowhard as Glenn Beck is.

Seriously, that is the single most disgusting thing i have ever read on this board. SMFH

Disgusting - our judicial system failed this man....

There was not enough proof...

Seven of the nine witnesses recanted what they claimed...

The witnesses were proven wrong....

He was not guilty.........

So sad.......

It was even said they use the drug they use on animals to put them to sleep...which is not supposed to be used on humans...even more digusting.

Yep, you know there is a problem when they are protesting all the way in England over this. See America always talk about China or an Islamic country putting to death criminals yet when one Islamic country was a bout to excecute a female for Adultry, everyone shouted and they didn't do it. Now look, everyone shouted and THE US GOVT STILL DID IT!

Casey Anthony murdered her child! She got off scott free!
She lied four times to police,
blamed her nanny got her fired and the nanny was innocent. 30 days passed and Casey didn't report the child missing and was found PARTYING! What parent let their child go missing for 30 days without a worry?

How do you put to death a man that has no evidence against him? Two things came to play, race and the criminal system is TORE THE FUCK DOWN! Even Jimmy Carter and the warden said no this shouldn't happen, WTF?

Just like the 3 Caucasian officers that snatched up a African descent teenager going to his grand mothers house, honor student, those fools grabbed three hair locks out of his head, and beat him with a tree branch. Now wtf is a police officer doing with a tree? How is it three grown men are scared of a 150 pound young boy? Then those fools said he had a coke bottle in his pocket that looked like a gun. Come to find out at the crime scene there was no coke bottle. SMH This is crazy!

Funny how 20 some years later people are saying this shit. if it was true they should have said it at the time. you can't change the law's. Just like the bitch that killed here kid got set free by the jurors. the system might not be perfect but its better than nothing.

Let me ask you, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? They change laws all the time. Do you know the language of the court system, and codes?

[jamesedwards]

With respect to the case of Troy Davis, well, there was no hard physical evidence. No blood. No fingerprints. No gun. And it took place at night.
I mean, there are human errors that are and were made.
One of the most famous cases: O.J. Simpson. He got off because he was rich. Without question.
There is one form of justice for the rich and powerful and another form of justice for everyone else.
Stark racism was evident in this case!

Very profound!

Well it's coming from someone who labels themself 'a gun toting TV' so not entirely unexpected.

To Prospero and RobertLouis: there's your faith in mankind..............as that attitude is far more prevalent than you'd like to admit.

How does someone get the death penalty for shooting another person? Sooo many people are shot to death, and their killers get 10-20 years in prison. I totally understand the death penalty for the guys in CT. who raped, tortured, bound and burned to death 3 girls (2 of them -1 in front of their father/husband during a home invasion. But Lethal Injection for shooting 1 person?! Come on now.. That's so excessive.

I believe an innocent man was put to death today. This whole case was built by police officers and detectives who bullied "witnesses" into testifying against Troy.

So so sad. I hope his family (and the family of the victim) somehow find strength, closure and peace in the near future.

Well let me drop some knowledge on you.

When a person kills another person, if that person confess to murdering that person, they can get 10, 15 or 20 years depending on what state and what was the bargin.
Now if this same person kills someone and the DA tells defense for him to cop out and the defense says no, he could look at 25 to life if he loses trial.

Now check this out, this is going to flip your dam beanie! LOL

I know cats from NYC, murdered a couple of people, did a year and CAME HOME! Yes i said came home only after a zip/year!

What happened is if that person murders someone and has a deal to give a big time person up (snitch) they will let him out early on the sole purpose of that. Now I know people like that personally both of them are dead, but isn't that fucked up? This system is bullshit!
