| 1233078 | 2011-09-22 22:11:00 | Heard a bit about that on the radio yesterday. Just reading the article, interesting piece near the end The high court set a tough standard for Davis to exonerate himself, ruling that his attorneys must "clearly establish'' Davis' innocence a higher bar to meet than prosecutors having to prove guilt. What happened to innocent till proven guilty. Going by the article, there may have in fact been some doubt Witnesses placed Davis at the crime scene and identified him as the shooter, but several of them have recanted their accounts and some jurors have said they've changed their minds about his guiltReading everything that is available it may read differently. |

| 1233081 | 2011-09-22 23:08:00 | This guy was guilty and deserves execution. | prefect (6291) | ||

Apparently even the legal system eventually tired of the procession of lawyers enthusiastically squeezing money out of the case. Really!! explain this then The case drew attention for having no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Seven of the nine witnesses who helped convict Davis have retracted or recanted their testimony. The case was also racially-charged The main reason was because he was accused of killing a cop - there are many other crimes that have killed more people and they are sitting in some prison getting food water and shelter. On the radio yesterday they were actually talking to another person that was on death row, his sentence was stopped at the last hour, it took many years, but in the end they found the real killer, and the accused was realised, now a free man, proven innocent. if he was guilty or not, the cops will never tell. Its been happening for awhile Others Proven Innocent (www.amnestyusa.org) |

I'm all for death for nasty crimes, but only where it's been proven, and I mean properly, not lawyer dodginess. Because innocent people do get executed in the US. |
