wasn’t 20 years in jail torture enough! according to news here in Oz they didn’t even have evidence against him. it’s so surreal , seeing this poor man sitting there talking, knowing he is about to be executed. it’s BLOODY BARBARIC

here in Aus we no longer even have the death penalty, whether someone is guilty or innocent. it is indeed Bloody Barbaric and i truly feel for his family.
Vale Troy Davis, may you rest in peace now.
and goodnight Grace, try to sleep.LikeLike

It occurred to me as it played out on CNN that a lot of people are very confused about the death penalty, that ‘news’ outlets don’t know how to talk about it, that people conflate their trust in your well developed legal system with faith in its infallibility, that people have become afraid to point out how it can be manipulated, that no one can be asked to compromise their personal view of ‘revenge’ in the interests of everyone else. But most of all that people have forgotten what you said. Each of them is Troy Davis. The legal system in your country will not be accountable to you. That’s the message I learned.

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, the state with more executions than any other in this nation says that he sleeps well at night, never doubting that there may have been innocent people executed under his watch. This man may very well become our next President – I hang my head in deep sorrow and shame.

but
each of us does have a voice. it’s all we truly only have.

your very plain words, Deb, touched something in me that
is where i’ve gotten to after a long long day of stitching…they imply that we will continue. and
yes. we will. there is nothing else. to continue in the
most good way we possibly can from day to day.
thanks for these good words…love,LikeLike

it was a rhetorical question… you are right …no comfort…. not even time will heal this completely.

A death sentence is not justice, only murder. i have put the wiki connection with it’s detailed information about the case on Thursdays blog post, and an article of some interest regarding the awful fallibility of the death sentence. I am sad too. Over time I’ve watched many such cases come and go from the light. Like E.E. Cummings my protest days have waned to a “whimper”–a wince–a whispering ache.
