After a Global Day of Action meant to call attention to the Troy Davis case, the 11th Circuit Court issued a stay of execution just 2 days from his scheduled execution for a crime he has continually denied involvement and 7 of the 9 eyewitnesses who have now recanted their initial testimony that incriminated Troy Davis. The court issued a stay of execution with the condition that his lawyers must show that new testimony and evidence is enough to prove “by clear and convincing evidence that…no reasonable fact finder would have found [him] guilty.”
- Here are the details of the stay of execution (ok….here is one for all of you who only trust mainstream media for your information).
- A great discussion by DemocracyNow! that investigates the background of the Troy Davis case and the latest news on new evidence, recanted eyewitness testimony, and appeals for saving his life (please note that this was from Friday’s episode that was recorded before the stay of execution was handed down by the 11th Circuit, but it provides great background information): Real Audio of the Troy Davis Case from DemocracyNow! or here is the Real Video stream or (if you are low-tech) here is the transcript.
So, it seems for the moment that the actions, voices, petition signing, and other activities have bought Troy Davis more time (and hopefully a new hearing). So, let’s savor this small victory (hey, they are few and far between in this fight against a global empire), and then refocus our resolve to continue the fight for justice….YOU GOTTA PUT UP A FIGHT!!!!!
The voices that demand justice in this country are on the RISE….
KEEP UP THE FIGHT!!!!! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!
