The NAACP Law Fellows need your help. A man by the name of Troy Davis has been on death row for nearly twenty years for a crime he did not commit. His execution has been stayed numerous times as people continue to fight to save his life.
Troy Davis was wrongfully convicted for the murder of an off-duty police officer and sentenced to death in the state of Georgia, despite a lack of physical evidence presented at trial. The prosecutor relied solely on witness testimony in securing a judgment against Davis. Seven of the nine witnesses who assisted in putting this innocent man on death row have now recanted their testimony in affidavits alleging police coercion.
We urge you to help us in this fight to help save an innocent man from being deprived of his life, liberty, and justice, principles that are engrained in our constitution. Have not only your fellow BLSA members, but all of your classmates and colleagues go to http://www.iamtroy.com/ and sign the petition to save Troy Davis from being put to death for a crime he did not commit!
Samhra Stevenson-Smith, Noele Hosley, Annaleigh Porter, Nicole Chong and Malcolm Ruff would like to thank you for helping us get the word out!
