Troy Davis, RIP

My chief reason for opposing the death penalty is that so many on death row have been proven to be innocent. Now we have a case where 77 per cent of the witnesses who testified that Troy Davis shot an off-duty cop, have now recanted their testimony and stated that the police pressured them to identify Troy Davis as the shooter. THESE ARE BAD COPS! There was no physical evidence at all to indicate that Troy was guilty. All the evidence came from witnesses, the vast majority of whom now say they lied under pressure from the police. Yet the state of georgia (it doesn't deserve to be capitalized) has now murdered a man who in all likelihood was innocent. This is not a civilized society, and georgia is not a civilized state!
