New video and action on Troy Davis case

Amnesty International recently released a new video, featuring music by State Radio, which illustrates the injustice of the Troy Davis case.

I've written many times before about the case of Troy Davis, who sits on Georgia's Death Row despite compelling evidence of his innocence.

According to Amnesty International USA, "7 out of 9 witnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimony, no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime." But this evidence of his innocense has never been heard in court.

In what may be a final step in Davis's long and frustrating journey through the so-called "justice" system, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta will decide on his fate any day now.

>> Watch the video.

Call for Clemency:

>> Write to Georgia Governor George Purdue and ask him to support clemency for Troy Davis.
