Death Penalty case with innocence still in question

I am a long-time supporter of Amnesty International and am posting this to support their campaign to ensure one Troy Davis is not executed without further review of his case. There is no hard evidence against him, and 7 out of 9 witnesses in his case have recanted or changed their story since his trial — there are even indications that one of the remaining two witnesses may in fact be the guilty one. Whatever your feelings on capital punishment, I think we can all agree that no government has the right to execute a citizen without a fair trial, and in this case there is serious doubt about his guilt.

Please join me in taking action and send this link to your politically conscious friends.

The Amnesty USA site has more details and instructions for taking action.

Thanks.
