Re: Breaking: TROY DAVIS EXECUTED
I am confused....here it says that his execution was postponed. But elsewhere it says that he was executed a few minutes ago...What is the truth?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1506317


He was executed at 11:08pm Eastern Time, it went to the Supreme Court and they denied his appeal. Sad

In August 17, 2009, the Supreme Court of the United States, over the dissenting votes of two justices, ordered a federal district court in Georgia to consider whether new evidence "that could not have been obtained at the time of trial clearly establishes [Davis'] innocence". The evidentiary hearing was held in June 2010, during which affidavits from several prosecution witnesses from the trial changing or recanting their previous testimony were presented; some affiants asserted they had been coerced by police. The State presented witnesses, including the police investigators and original prosecutors, denying any coercion. Other witnesses who had not testified at trial asserted that Coles had confessed to the killing, but this evidence was excluded as hearsay as Coles was not subpoenaed by the defense to rebut it.

Google is your friend. Why are you defending a piece of sh*t cop killer for anyway. Between you and those sick people on Democracy now I'm about to puke. These people have an agenda, and they are going to pick and choose what they report. 99% of the people in America have no idea about Cooper because they don't want people to know the real Troy Davis. He got what he deserved, just 22 years too late.

11:08 Davis pronounced dead.

10:57 State Attorney Generals office notifies MacPhail's mother Anneliese "[Davis] is on the gurney, the needle is in."

10:52 ORDER IN PENDING CASE 11A317 DAVIS, ANTHONY TROY V. HUMPHREY, WARDEN

The application for stay of execution of sentence of death presented to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the Court is

denied. [link to www.supremecourt.gov]

10:31 About 150 remaining Davis supporters were still in prayer outside the state Capitol 10 minutes after hearing the stay had been denied.

10:27 "I'd like to have some peace now that it's over," Anneliese MacPhail mother of murdered officer Mark Allen MacPhail to CNN.

10:18 Davis' attorneys say the U.S. Supreme Court has denied the stay.

10:08 State Attorney Generals office notifies MacPhail's mother Anneliese they have received an email from the U.S. Supreme Court to expect word in another 10 to 20 minutes.

10 pm The number of Davis supporters outside the prison has dwindled from hundreds to about 50, who appear to be outnumbered by armed security in riot gear.

9:30 The last of the roughly 50 Davis supporters who had gathered outside of the Savannah City Hall were gone. The last to leave was Sister Jackie Griffith, a nun who had begun her day at a rally outside of the Chatham County Courthouse in support of Davis.

8:51 A convoy of troopers in at least 15 cars arrived to join their colleagues at the site. Meanwhile, officials from the Atlanta University Center and Savannah State University asked their students at the protest to return to their buses to return to their respective campuses. The departure of at least three busloads of students appeared to reduce the crowd by about a third or more.

8:38 As prison officials, family members, and other interested people awaited word from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether the execution of Davis should proceed tonight, more than a dozen Georgia state troopers in riot gear marched in military formation to place themselves between the protesters and other officers in paramilitary gear outside the prison. They were met by choruses of "Shame on you" from the protesters.

8:10 Amnesty International representative tells Davis supporters outside state Capitol they are expecting an update from the U.S. Supreme Court at 8:30.

7:40 MacPhail's mother Anneliese, surrounded by friends and relatives at her home, was leafing through photos of her son, and in her words "smoking like a steam engine" as she awaited word on whether the execution would proceed tonight.

7:21 Sara Totonchi of the Southern Center for Human Rights confirms the prison has temporarily delayed the execution while awaiting word from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether they can proceed with the execution tonight.

7:12 The crowd of supporters outside of the prison began singing "We Shall Overcome" after receiving unofficial word the prison has temporarily delayed the execution pending possible U.S. Supreme Court review of tonight's filing for a stay.

6:25 Troy Davis' attorneys have filed a request for a stay of execution with the U.S. Supreme Court. It is his last chance to avoid execution.

And this, dear US citizens, is why the rest of the world count you next to China (on human rights, corruption and ecological waste). The world would be better without this kind of "humanism" where rights are settled by the dollar, instead of personal ethics, and "good" is a term used for gaining.

I remember when words lost their meaning!

I lived in Russia for 2 months on a work assignment. Russia is the most corrupt and scary country I've ever been to.

My company gave us money to use as bribes, because every where we went we had to bribe a police officer, toll booth operator, security guard, etc.

If you don't bribe nearly every single person of authority you meet, they will find ways to hassle and arrest you.

I'm not defending the US or China. But glass houses and what not.

I didn't read thru all the hateful posts so If these facts were already posted excuse me but - The last warden of this very prison along with many other Ga state officials as well as Ronald Reagans FBI head all say this case is too full of holes to go on with the execution. 7 of the 9 (not 32 or whatever) now say they were forced by cops to say the saw it. Even Bob Barr conserative from GA signed on to the crazy idea that maybe a black man could be framed in GA. The facts proving his guilt art where? Not one bit of physical evidence? An innocent man will be murdered and the most likely real killer is the 8th eyewitness who others have reported has bragged he really did it, and he walks free to this day. But hey, ignore all that right, its only some uppity black mans life afterall. The Russian poster had it right, I am ashamed of this country tonight and pray for Troy Davis' soul that he may find peace and truth at last.
