The State of Georgia is about to kill an innocent man. That man is Troy Anthony Davis. My prayers extend to Troy and his family. My prayer extend to the Mc Phail family as well.
You should present your evidence that Troy Davis is innocent. Immediately.
He's innocent, they have no evidence on him.
All witnesses recanted their statement.
