Quick question. Have you ever sat in the “seat of the accused” after being “falsely arrested” and “falsely imprisoned” for a crime that both you, and your cowardly accusers, know you didn’t commit? Due to the violence of a false accuser’s fear-based “betrayal of silence,” one too many “actually innocent” people have been mistakenly incarcerated and sentenced to death more often than we would like to believe.
Based upon what I’ve read recently and what was shared during the compelling discussions that aired today on Radio Station WAOK 1380AM, it appears that Mr. Troy Davis is just one of the many men who have been wrongfully incarcerated and sentenced to death on September 23, 2008 for a crime he didn’t commit.
Due to the pervasive problems with America’s imperfect system of justice, I do not support the Death Penalty. On September 11, 2008, a rally, sponsored by Amnesty International and the NAACP , for Mr. Troy Davis is scheduled to take place on the steps of the “gold-domed” Georgia Capitol Building from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in Atlanta, Georgia.
Please click on the “highlighted words” in this post for links that will provide additional information and ways you can help save Mr. Troy Davis’ life. If you know someone who’s been falsely arrested, or if you’ve ever personally sat in the “seat of the accused” as an actually innocent person, I hope to see you there tomorrow evening. The life you help us save today may be yours tomorrow. Think about it.

I am not one of those in favor of the death penalty. I’ve also been to the links thanks for sharing

Brother Solomon, your choice of words challenge the judicial system to “do the right thing”. This system however uses “shareholders” to finance the building of prisons since the mid-eighties. When you build a prison, it must then have occupants. Shareholders EXPECT a return on their investments…even if its at YOUR expense…If only we put the same energy into education…Oh wait, that would create too much job competition! Conservatives to h_ll.
