Troy Davis is before the Supreme Court today.The Court is expected to rule,at the latest, by June 29th.If he wins,it will be the first time since the late 1920's that the Court acted on a similar petition.His last chance is that the local prosecutor will re-open an investigation as to how the police first procured the testimony of the recantiing witnesses,and,further,as to whether the police suppressed , or ignored, exculpatory evidence from a total of approximately twenty additional witnesses who could give evidence tending to show that the states star witness himself committed the crime for which Davis is to be executed. This is a completely different issue from whether or not the recantations should have been heard in the higher court.It is a question to whethet Davis's conviction was obtained by police corruption and prosecutorial misconduct.Even if Davis is executed on a legal technicality,the ground is still open for Savannah to clean its own house.Preferably it will do this before the State executes a not improbably innocent man. " If you have not yet signed the on-line petition at www.iamtroy.com, please do so now, as these petitions will be printed and hand delivered on Monday morning. Here's the other thing you can do right now to help save Troy's life: Please call Georgia's Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm at 912-652-7308 and ask that he reopen Troy's case." You good people gave DCR thousands of calls.Give Troy Davis just one each. Even those who believe Davis is guilty should be happy to signthe petition .If the officers who took the original statements are produced and they have contemporary notes to support their statements, well and good.If Red Coles is produced and he is able to explain his three alleged confessions,if he is able to explain why he concealed the fact that he carried a 38 revolver wiith him to the scene of the murder,and if he is able to explain why,despite his considerable clout iin Savannah gangland,he has been identified by more than one witness as the actual triggerman,well and good.But unless this investigation is held Davis's execution will constitute a mockery of the American judicial process and will also feed the causes of some of the most despicable race hustlers on the American political scene today. If Davis does not arose your compassion,at the least don't give Sharpton and the Mummia people a chance to make out of this what the Communist Party made out of Scotsboro.The only way to avoid that is to hold an open inquiry of the enitre case at the grass roots level where it all began and where it can still be most effectively adjudicated.
