RALLY and SPEAK OUT:
Stop the execution of Troy Davis!
Stop the execution of Troy Davis!
GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION
DUDLEY SQUARE, ROXBURYFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011, 5pm
The State of Georgia is attempting to execute an innocent man--again.
The case against Troy Davis is built on sand. Troy's case has long stood as one of the worst examples of the bias and flaws inherent in the death penalty system. He was convicted of murdering off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989, but there has long been compelling evidence of his innocence. Even so, Georgia officials are pushing to kill Troy--and have scheduled his execution for 7 p.m. on September 21. He was convicted largely based on the testimony of eyewitnesses, but seven of the nine witnesses who testified against Troy at his original trial have since recanted, with several saying they were coerced by police into falsely identifying Troy as the man who shot MacPhail.
