I just wrote to Governor Sonny Perdue and to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles. Urge y'all to do the same. Here's my letter, feel free to crib.
[email protected]To the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles:
I am writing about Troy Anthony Davis, who will be executed tomorrow night at 7 pm unless the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles commutes his sentence.
I believe this would be a miscarriage of justice, and that Mr. Davis should be given a new trial. At the very least, his execution tomorrow should be delayed, while his sentence is considered.
Seven of the nine non-police witnesses said they were coerced by police and have since recanted their testimony. Nine witnesses have also implicated another man in the murder.
I urge you to do what you can to prevent this injustice. Make Georgia a fair and equitable place for all.
Sincerely,
<Texas Lawyer and family
