Breaking News: Cop Killer Troy Davis Set Free!

Well, he was...sort of. I mean, he won't be going back to prison, anyway.

Bout freakin' time. You finally got what you deserved 20-something years ago.

well you know that they had to give him 3 hots and a cot for 20 years first

This lethal injection crap is too easy, it is like going to sleep.

Bring back ol' Sparky or hang them.

The appeals system in this country is out of hand. What ever happened to "swift execution of sentence"?

After reading up a bit on the case I'd say there was some grey areas...not a done deal. I wouldn't want to push the button on that one. Could come back and bite ya on the ass, screw up death penalty all over the country.

This case just provides the antis more leverage on keeping monsters like the guy in Massachusetts, and black forest in prison for life.

My thoughts also..

Too many people changed their stories, It did deserve a little more of a look. Or even a new trial.

Yes, I do agree 20 years is too long.

A friend of mine got to do a stint in federal prison in Kentucky back in the 60s for getting into an altercation with a cop in DC. (All crime in DC is Federal)
He was one of 10 white inmates in a sea of AfAm. They got grits for breakfast every morning.
The warden always carried out his executions right before sun up. They were still using "Old Sparky" as the method of dispatch back in those days. He said on those mornings of the execution they always got chitlins in their grits. Then the warden would enter the dining area and then in a loud southern hillbilly drawl inform the inmates, "Yeaaahhhhhh!!!!!. That's all that's left of that n...... I fried this mornin'!!!"

Yep enough evidence that says it was BS that it should have beeen looked at! They MAY have executed an innocent man?

I have no moral or ethical problem with putting guilty murderers to death.

I just don't trust the state to get it right all of the time (hell, I don't trust the state to get it right MOST of the time).


I hope this guy was guilty.
