Troy Anthony Davis: A Legal Lynching

After the Savannah rally, I returned to the studio to conduct a live online radio broadcast on the Troy Davis mockery of justice. You can hear highlights of the broadcast below.

---

Brothers and sisters, on the night of August 19, 1989 when Officer Macphail was tragically shot and killed, I was not there. On that night, you were not there. On that night, no other member of the Macphail family was there.
In fact, no physical evidence proved that Troy Davis actually shot Officer MacPhail.

These photos are from the Sept 21, 2011 rally in Savannah, Ga, which began at 5:00 PM--just hours before Troy Davis was to be executed. In the photos is Sister Marilyn Jackson founder of The Daughters of Mary Magdalene and community organizer being interviewed by the mainstream media.  

Without any physical evidence, the State of Georgia would seek to kill a man. Such a low threshold should never become the yardstick by which the legal system should use when deciding to take the life of a human being, whether the accused is Black or White.

No smoking gun. No forensic evidence. No fingerprints. No video. No audio. No blood trail. No DNA. No ballistics.

The key factors in convicting Troy Anthony Davis were the damaging testimonies from nine so-called witnesses. Those testimonies carried such an enourmous amount of weight that a guilty verdict was almost guaranteed. The word of these so-called witnessed mattered just that much. But let's take a closer look. 

                                    


                  Main Problems With This Case
1) There was NO physical evidence that emphatically linked Troy Davis as the murderer of Officer MacPhail, making this a circumstantial case.

2) Seven of the nine so-called witnesses later recanted their testimony, which means they lied on Troy Davis at trial (fabricated testimony x 7 = injustice)

3) Three of the actual jurors that voted to convict Troy Davis later stated that "Had they known then what they know now that they would NOT have gone for the death penalty."

4) During the same time shoddy circumstantial evidence and fabricated testimonies were being used to kill Troy Davis, a systemic pattern of police corruption and malicious prosecution was already at work within Chatham County (Georgia) against several African Americans. 

Even if you are for the death penalty, there should, at least, be a standard of actual physical evidence that places a person at the scene of the crime other than simply not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not even just 5, not 6, but 7 "lying witnesses." After all, the life of a human being is on the line. And when the four factors that are listed above are all a part of the prosecution's strategy, this becomes a legal lynching in 2011.
 
With this type of testimony, no prosecutor should never seek the highest penalty imaginable--death. This is just common-sense and righteousness.

On September 21, 2011 in support of saving a man's life from a death row conviction based on a lack of physical evidence and an over-abundance of manufactored evidence, I went to Savannah, Ga in front of City Hall to show support in favor of saving a human life that was being swallowed by manufactured evidence. 
 
After this rally, Troy Davis was legally lynched.

YahshuaUniversity.com is all about the real Gospel, which is to stand up for the poor, the oppressed, the afflicted, the captives, and to stand up for freedom, justice, and equality (Luke 4:18-19).

This is what is taught at www.yahshuauniversity.com and www.yahshuacafe.com

Just imagine if 7 people testified lies against you in a court of law, and there was no physical evidence linking you to the crime that you know that you did not commit, plus the DA was seeking to end your life....... what would you do?
