Clearly, thats because magistrates, those vast resources of planetary justice, are simply materialised out of sheer potentiality. Werent you listening? FWIW, if any said stated facts are accurate, this person should be granted a new trial at least. Of course that will never occur, because southerners are southerners, haroki himself implied a guilty until PROVEN innocent dictum. Yes, he did that. Nobody dares mention, a cop was killed in this matter-you either understand and know someone WILL be found guilty in such a matter, or you are a delusional idealogico guy like jem.
Oh come on, you're smarter than this..... 1- he HAS been found guilty by a jury trial. And appeals courts. 2- the proof I'm asking Z for is proof that would bring a reasonable doubt. 3- he has none, cuz he doesn't know anything about the case, other than what he SPECULATES might have happened based on a few words in a story, and he now would like to present his speculations as fact.....
Wow, still more assumptions from the reigning idiot here. Where does it say that the 7 were influenced by the cops? Making shit up again I see.LMAO.... The accuser? uhhhh that would probably be the DA. You think the cops threatened him/her too?????? You're right , you're just too stupid...
1; meaningless, facts dont matter in southern courts, nor anywhere else. 2;been provided 3; Your a a**hole, who happily backs the murder of innocent people, based entirely on your sick worldveiw. You clearly have more faith in the cowardly, corrupt, rotten, worthless "thing" you might call a justice system than i have.
LMAO !!!! Guess I was wrong, you are that stupid. So now I see that you believe that not only there's a reasonable doubt, but he's INNOCENT? With this statement, you have now proven yourself to be even bigger dumbass than Z. Which is quite a feat. You should be proud of yourself. So I'll ask you the same question. Care to show the proof that backs your claim? Anything at all that could be brought to have a new trial? If you have something, I would happily agree that yes, he deserves a new trial.
Here's a run down on the case. Notice the part where he brags about killing the cop? At midnight on August 18, 1989, Mark Allen MacPhail, a Savannah police officer, reported for work as a security guard at the Greyhound bus station in Savannah, adjacent to a fast-food restaurant. According to Court records say Troy Anthony Davis shot into a car that was leaving a party on Cloverdale Drive in a Savannah subdivision and struck a man in the head, severely injuring him by a bullet that lodged in his right jaw. A few hours later, as the Burger King restaurant was closing, a fight broke out in which Davis struck a homeless man in the head with a pistol. Officer MacPhail, wearing his police uniform -- including badge, shoulder patches, gun belt, .38 revolver and nightstick -- ran to the scene of the disturbance. Davis fled. When Officer MacPhail ordered him to halt, Davis turned around and shot him. Officer MacPhail fell to the ground. Davis, smiling, walked up to the stricken officer and shot him several more times. The officer's gun was still in his holster. Mark MacPhail wore a bullet-proof vest, but the vest did not cover his sides and the fatal bullet entered the left side of his chest, penetrated his left lung and aorta, and came to rest at the back of his chest cavity. The officer was also shot in the left cheek and the right leg. The next afternoon, Davis told a friend that he had been involved in an argument at the restaurant the previous evening and struck someone with a gun. He told the friend that when a police officer ran up, Davis shot him and that he went to the officer and "finished the job" because he knew the officer got a good look at his face when he shot him the first time. After his arrest, Davis told a cellmate a similar story. A shell casing that was found at the scene of the murder was linked to the Cloverdale Drive shooting. A woman who was staying in a hotel across the street from where Mark MacPhail was murdered identified Troy Davis as the shooter after seeing a photograph of him. She also chose his photo from a 5-person lineup, as well as identified him at his trial. Numerous other eyewitnesses also identified Davis.
ZZZZtroll, how do you explain your crusade here to save the life of one possibly innocent man when you said the below which clearly indicates that 200 innocent peoples' lives mean nothing to you: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...ptional777+AND+If+only+200+murders#post220449 I'm sure everyone here would appreciate it. Thanks.
I am shocked and appalled....that this piece of shit is still alive. He was convicted in 1991. Should have never seen 1992. Beat him to death with a tire iron and dump the body at the nearest trash heap. Next!
Right, so he wasnt convicted of the other shooting-and he was positively identified by a lady -across the street-at midnight-and some snitches also said he said he done it, and numerous jurors raised doubts as to pressure from the authorities to provide a guilty verdict. Sounds watertight to me! Yeeee-haaaw
so this is all bollocks?? http://www.ajc.com/search/content/opinion/stories/2007/07/13/deathpened.html "Davis, 38, was convicted of the brutal murder of Mark Allen MacPhail, a young Savannah police officer responding to a fight in a parking lot in 1989. Without substantive physical evidence â- no gun, no DNA â- prosecutors relied entirely on the testimony of witnesses. They found nine who implicated Davis. A jury found him guilty. He has been on death row since 1991, but Davis has maintained his innocence from the day he was arrested. After his legal appeals were exhausted, however, significant developments occurred that demand closer examination: > Seven of the original nine witnesses against Davis have renounced or contradicted their trial testimony. An alarming number now claim they were intimidated by the police. Of the two witnesses who have not recanted their testimony, one was implicated by two other witnesses during the trial as MacPhail's killer, and by four new witnesses since then. > Davis is caught in an untenable procedural bind. Because of a 1996 law aimed at speeding up death penalty appeals, federal and state courts have ruled they can't consider new evidence in a death penalty case if the defendant should have brought it to the court's attention during the appeals process. But in the Davis case, most of the witnesses didn't recant their testimony until years later. Moreover, to get the courts to reopen the case, the defendant must be able to show that given the new evidence, no reasonable juror would convict him. That's an impossibly high standard. > Some of the witnesses didn't get a chance to recant because the initial appeal in the Davis case was handled by attorneys from an underfunded state defender's agency that lacked the resources to track witnesses down and investigate what they told police, as opposed to what they testified to at trial. ....... The case has also drawn the attention of the Constitution Project, a bipartisan group that seeks consensus on difficult legal issues. William S. Sessions, a former federal judge and FBI director under three presidents, a death penalty advocate and a member of the project's Death Penalty Initiative, has researched Davis' case and strongly believes more investigation is needed. Over the years, 124 death row inmates have been released from state prisons after evidence proved their innocence. Police, prosecutors, judges, witnesses and juries make mistakes, but those mistakes can never be reversed once a death sentence is carried out. The Board of Pardons and Paroles is not being asked to set Troy Anthony Davis free. But in the name of justice it should allow him to make a new case for his innocence."
