Troy Davis Case: Thousands Protest in Georgia to Oppose Troy’s Execution

[ellenrr]

Demonstrations held around the world, including in my corner of the world where we collected 357 signatures to add to the hundreds of thousands of signatures.

"The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles received petitions with 663,000 names urging clemency on Thursday. The board is scheduled to meet on Monday to consider whether to stop Davis' execution by lethal injection.

"If I knew then what I know now," Brenda Davis, one of the jurors in the trial told CNN in a 2009 interview, "Troy Davis would not be on Death Row. The verdict would be 'not guilty.'"

There were more than 2000 coordinated rallies from downtown Atlanta to Ebenezer Baptist Church on Auburn Avenue on Friday showing support for Davis.
