The State of Georgia is set to execute Troy Anthony Davis on September 23rd, despite strong claims of innocence. Troy has been on death row for 17 years for the murder of an off-duty Savannah police officer, a crime he maintains he never committed. The prosecution of the case is fraught with inconsistencies, witness recantations, and police and prosecutorial misconduct. Nonetheless, Troy has exhausted all of his appeals -- even though his claims of innocence have yet to be heard in a federal court. He still has one appeal pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, but his execution date is before the Supreme Court returns from recess.
Please take immediate action on Troy's behalf! This is extremely urgent and important!
