[GPSCC-chat] Urgent Action: Stop the execution of an innocent man

[Brian Good]

My first alert to this came from a lunatic jew-hater so I was ignoring it.

It's Amnesty Int'l and ACLU.  Please take two minutes and help conserve the 
life of a man who might be innocent.

Urgent Action Alert
 
Don't Let Georgia Execute an Innocent Man:
Execution of Troy Davis Set for One Week from Today
 
Sign Letters to Georgia Authorities Right Now
 
Background:  The State of Georgia plans to execute Troy Davis at midnight on September 21, even though he is almost certainly innocent.
 
We can't afford to execute people who might be innocent – let alone people who probably are.
 
The last chance for remedy of this egregious injustice is an appeal for clemency to the Georgia Pardons and Parole Board. Clemency in Davis' case does not mean setting him free but instead converting his death sentence to life in prison without parole – that way, if his verdict is ever reversed at least he will be alive to see it.Davis has been scheduled for execution three times before, and three times his execution has been stayed amid doubts and new evidence against other suspects. Davis was sentenced on the basis of witness testimony, but seven of nine original witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony.
 
Action #1:  The ACLU and Amnesty International are both circulating sign-on letters to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole and other Georgia authorities.  Please sign on to either or both of these letters.  If you can take a moment to personalize the letter -- even a little bit -- it will have an even greater impact.  But please sign ...
