More press coverage of the Troy Davis, the day before his scheduled execution.
Time Magazine: Will Georgia kill an innocent man?
And the Atlanta Journal Constitution, with a transcript of Congressman John Lewis's testimony at the Parole and Pardon Board hearing this morning, which starts off:
Good morning, Chairperson Hunt and members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
It is a privilege to address you today, and I want to thank you for hearing me. I will not speak long, because what I have to say is very simple. I do not know Troy Anthony Davis. I do not know if he is guilty of the charges of which he has been convicted. But I do know that nobody should be put to death based on the evidence we now have in this case.
Evidence that is dramatically different from what the jury heard. Evidence that I understand no court has ever considered, for technical reasons that have nothing to do with the truth.
And from the Guardian: Death of an Innocent, Georgia Style
Mr. Davis's website and how you can help here.
