Day of Awareness for Troy Davis

So I am just going to be honest, today has sucked, actually most of this month has sucked. This is mainly because money is funny, more so than it normally is. So I aCheck Spellingm sitting at work this morning talking to my fiance and trying to figure out what to say to ease the irritation and frustration we were both feeling. I couldn't think of anything. Then it hit me... about 20 minutes to late, but it hit me... things could always be worse, and not in the cliche kind of way. I could be Troy Davis right now and literally be running out of options to save my life. For those of you who are not familiar Troy Davis is currently on death row in Georgia and is running out of time on a 30 day stay of execution he was issued. Troy was convicted of killing a cop with no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Since his conviction all but two witnesses that testified in his trial have recanted, and stated that they were threatened and intimidated by the police to testify in the first place. One of the two witnesses that has not recanted is the other possible suspect. This case is yet another example of the failure of our "Justice" system. Please take the time today to talk to somebody about Troy Davis or do something to add your voice to change.
Peace Love Respect

Justice For Troy Davis
