                                        TROY DAVIS
         Troy Davis has been on death row for more than 18 years for the murder of police officer Mark Allen
         MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia. His compelling case of innocence raises critical questions about the
         death penalty and the larger criminal justice system.

             There was no physical evidence against Troy Davis.

             The weapon used in the crime was never found.

             The case against him consists entirely of witness testimony.

             Seven of the nine non-police witnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimony.

             Many of the witnesses have stated that they were pressured or coerced by police.

             One of the two witnesses who has not recanted or contradicted testimony is the principal
             alternative suspect.

             Nine individuals have signed affidavits implicating the alternative suspect.

             There has never been an evidentiary hearing in a federal appeals court to examine the new
             witness testimony.

         On Monday, August 17, 2009, the US Supreme Court ordered an evidentiary hearing in the federal
         district court to review evidence of Davis’ innocence. If the judicial system continues to focus on
         procedures and technicalities instead of the fundamental issue of innocence, Davis could face a fourth
         execution date as early as this fall. We must prevent an execution and ensure justice for Troy Davis!

         Educate your community about his case and the larger system it represents.
