Save Troy Davis' life

The state of Georgia is taking steps to put Troy Davis to
death. The case against him consisted of witness testimony
that was full of inconsistencies. Since then, all but two of
the state's non-police witnesses from the trial have
recanted their testimony - and many have sworn in affidavits
that police pressured or coerced them into testifying or
signing statements.

There is still serious doubt as to Troy Davis' guilt, and by
putting him to death Georgia runs the risk of killing an
innocent man. Please call on the board to save Troy Davis'
life. And pass this on. Troy Davis needs as many of us as
possible to speak up.

Below is the text of the petition you'll send to the Georgia
State Board of Pardons and Parole:

To the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole:

I'm calling on you to take all steps necessary to ensure
that Troy Anthony Davis does not face execution. Seven of
the nine witnesses have changed their story and no physical
evidence links Davis to the crime. With so many persistent
doubts about his guilt, Davis should not be executed.

This case has generated widespread attention because so many
people in Georgia and throughout the world are disturbed by
the very real possibility that Georgia could execute an
innocent man. In this situation, more than just Troy Davis'
life is at stake - public trust in the criminal justice
system, and indeed its very integrity, are undermined when
such serious doubts persist unresolved. Georgia cannot
afford to make such a mistake.

The executive branch of government has the power of clemency
as a check on the judicial system - because the judiciary
can serve the law as written and still fail to serve the
interests of justice. I urge you now to use that power to
commute Troy Davis' sentence from death to life in prison.

Thank you,

[Your Name]
