Troy Davis probably had a publicly appointed defense attorney, and given that there were so many witnesses (at the time) to implicate him, I'm not so sure much was done for his defense. Again, I'm speculating, but given that he has maintained his innocence for 20 years, along with Amnesty International's continuing support, and the international community's interest...I feel as if there is enough reasonable doubt where an innocent man might die, and that would be a travesty.

i agree. unless the man is for sure the murderer than it would would be a travesty to say the least having another innocent man die over this case
