| 153 | James O'Connor | I've just watched this 60 minutes video that is both heartbreaking and uplifting.
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=4069405n
It describes the recent release of James Woodward, the 17th DNA exoneration case out of Dallas, TX. It is heartbreaking to think about everything this innocent man missed during the 27 years! that he spent imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. At the same time, it was uplifting to listen to Dallas' new DA, Craig Watkins, talk about his view that the prosecutors should care about correcting injustice. Watkins maintains an open file policy with the Dallas Innocence Project.
Imagine how different a world it would be if all DA's understood that their role is not to win at all costs, but to make sure that justice is done. Let's hope the U.S. Supreme Court sees it as their job to protect the innocent. Innocence matters, not only to Troy and his family, but to all of us. |

| 156 | Anonymous | At best the death penalty is inhumane - in this case it's barbarous and disgraces the state of Georgia. |

| 158 | Linda | Please free Troy Davis! He has been locked up far too long for a crime that he did not commit.
Circumstancial evidence mean nothing, except some prosecuting attorney has a theory! Why do jurors of America so easily convict becaue of a theory! Where's the hard evidence? |

| 160 | Anonymous | With so much proof that he has proven this man is innocent, why is he still in jail? God help the persons responsible for the loss of so much of his life. God help you that it is not someone they love oneday in this situation. What reasons do they have to do this? Its an absolute disgust to our Fore Fathers and the laws we are supposed to uphold. |

| 167 | isaac klein | It is cases like this that that shocks me into realizing that even in this great country there are times where misguided , croocked people can involve themselves into the criminal justice system and get away with murder, that is crooked twisted prosecutors that pimp the constitution and normal morals for their own careers. if we allow this to happen then we are just as bad |
| 168 | Louis Brendan Curran | This already sounds like a great movie - only scenes still to be written are (A) Georgia steps up & does the right thing by reopening this case, AND prosecuting the other suspect, or (B) Georgia keeps its head in the sand despite evolving knowledge of factors that influence "eyewitness" testimony and executes an innocent man. As an attorney thinking of retiring in Savannah, I certainly hope the movie ends with Alternative A !!!!!!!!!! |

| 172 | Rev. Ms. Fairy L. Caroland | Troy Davis will be proven innocent. I hope that Georgia does not remain stupid enough to allow that to be AFTER the state murders him. |
| 173 | SUE | Troy Davis is innocent, please do the right thing and free him, his family and him have suffered enough, JUSTICE WILL NOT BE SERVED BY MURDERING (EXECUTING) AN INNOCENT MAN! I write to Troy and he is a wonderful man, please save him! |

| 178 | Dee Hawk | another railroading that Georgia does not want to admit to. Georgia gets richer by killing this man, and that fact that he is black they think no one will care. WRONG!! We are all following this case very closely |

| 186 | Cheryl Stepnioski | My name is Cheryl Stepnioski.I live in Michigan. 7 years ago my 18 year old son, Jon Kaled, was arrested along with two of his friends, for a murder they did not commit. We live in a small lakeside community outside of Detroit. There hadn't been anything like that here in 30 years. It was highly publicized here and around the US. You may or may not, have heard about it. It was in New Baltimore, Michigan? A 16 year old young man was shot execution style, in a walk in cooler at a local Pizza Shop in town.
A week later they arrested our son and his two friends. It was the very worst time of my life to say the very least. The community treated our families horribly. I have 7 children and had 4 grandchildren at the time. Three of my children and one grandchild were still in school here and one child was in college. They were all harassed and mostly by the the school staff not the other students. We lost friends and family over it.
The police here had gotten False Confessions from My son and one of the other boys. They were held in Macomb County jail for a little over 6 months. My son spent most of that time in Lock down 23 hours a day, by himself.
We remortaged our home, and got the best attorney we could. We faught the Injustice of this Broken Justice System. We three Mothers even did the investigating the police refused to do. It was the most horrific time in my life. But we were able to free our sons and the true killers were bought here last year and sentenced for their crime.
Unfortunately one of the boys arrested with my son. was he himself murdered one year later on the very day of their arrest. That was also another dibocal of injustice in our justice system.
I know the Pain The In justice Of Our Justice System Can cause.
Thank You,

FREE TROY ANTHONY DAVIS |
| 199 | Jamie Florez | How can we live in a country that does not care about innocence?
While one might argue that Troy has been found guilty by a jury of his peers, it is inconceivable to think that this would be upheld when there is evidence that was either not known or not made available at time of his trial and susequent conviction.
I always thought the great thing about the United States was that we are better than other countries because we value human life, freedom and justice for all. So how can we allow this travesty to continue and hide behind some legal excuse. We should be better and bigger than to not admit there may have been a mistake.
Please don't allow this to occur. We need those in power to be the examples and to take the lead on doing what is right not what is easy. Don't let this get swept under some proverbial rug so that you don't have to deal with this. |
