Stop the Execution of Troy Davis!
For over a decade, state and federal courts refused to hear evidence that Davis was innocent. Now the State of Georgia has issued a death warrant for Troy Davis for September 21.
Protests are scheduled in a number of cities including locally in Santa Cruz, Oakland, and San Francisco

Stop the Execution of Troy Davis!
Troy Davis may be executed in less than a week. He was sentenced to death in 1991 for the killing of off-duty Savannah policeman. Davis was convicted based on questionable “eyewitness” identifications, dubious accounts that Davis confessed to the killing, and false witness testimony coerced by the cops. Seven of the prosecution’s nine witnesses have since recanted. The only holdouts are one man who may be the actual killer and another who initially denied being able to identify the shooter only to pin it on Davis at trial two years later. New witnesses have come forth identifying another suspect.
For over a decade, state and federal courts refused to hear evidence that Davis was innocent. Now the State of Georgia has issued a death warrant for Troy Davis for September 21.
Amnesty International said of his case, "Troy Davis was convicted of murder in 1991. Nearly two decades later, Davis remains on death row — even though the case against him has fallen apart."
