Looking over a few court cases relating to the Death Plenty, I think the justice systems needs improvement. Today I will be speaking on why many are against the death penalty, for those wrongly accused. The death penalty statistics are interesting. I came upon regarding those sent to death row for the wrong purposes regarding DNA mix ups, lack of evidence, and or eyewitness testimony. To correct our Justice System; we must base decisions from strong evidence, proper trails, and an honest system. A more dedicated, honest justice system.

Troy Davis of Georgia was execution. Davis was accused of shooting off an duty Officer Mark MacPhail. Years of investigation without physical evidence and with eyewitness testimony changing. Troy Davis die due to legal injection September 2011. Over the 20 year period Davis gained fans and respect nationwide because of the questionable decision to sentence him to the death penalty. Davis appeals the court decisions three times to prove his innocence.
(ETHOS-By telling CNN well know informative and respected company) What if you were MacPhail mother? The mother who stated “‘I will never have closure,’ Ms MacPhail told CNN. ‘But I may have some peace when he is executed.” How would you feel putting another mother in your shoes one whom son may not have been your son true killer?

“I know that Judge Penny Freesemann still has the power to withdraw its death warrant. These are slim options, but I also know that this isn’t over until they send the poison into Troy’s veins.

5. Troy Davis has been on death row in the state of Georgia since 1991. He was convicted on August 19, 1989 of the murder of Georgia police officer, Mark MacPhail. On August 24, 2010, the conviction was upheld, with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia declaring, “Davis is not innocent.” The judge did not say that Davis is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, implying that the standard for exoneration had been lifted unreasonably high. http://www.yourblackworld.com/2011/09/09/facts-you-may-not-know-about-the-troy-davis-case/ (ALL

Many belief the blame is race and I honestly do not blame them. There is no other reason 71 African Americans have been killed due to our “honorable” court system. Not to include the number one argument that there were no weapons found with Davis
