Tomorrow, the state of Georgia is scheduled to execute Troy Anthony Davis, despite significant reason to doubt his guilt. Several witnesses against him have recanted their testimony. Dave at the Mindful Mission has more on the case and what we can do.
The office of the Board of Pardons and Paroles is open from 8:15 am to 4:30 pm Eastern time. The office of the Attorney General is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Please call as early as you can.
ETA: If calling makes you nervous, you can fax the Georgia Attorney General’s office at (404) 657-8733.
Jen,
here’s an update AP news story:
Ga. cop killer gets last-minute execution reprieve
The fight is not over, but at least he’s still here.
ps The headline should at least read “convicted cop killer” and at best “disputed cop killer.” A hint here of that “he’s a black guy, so he did it” thinking?
