Zusammenfassung:Troy Anthony Davis death was 11:08pm, at Death Row Prison in Georgia…

Die Geschichte eines unschuldig zum Tode Verurteilten, weil er die falsche Hautfarbe hatte. Wikipedia

Seine letzten Worte: I am innocent. Und weiter sagte er: „The incident that night was not my fault. I did not have a gun. I did not personally kill your son, father or brother. I am innocent. Look deeper into this case, so you can really find the truth. For those who are about to take my life, may god have mercy upon your souls and may god bless your souls.“

Das zynische Statement der Mutter des Opfers Anneliese MacPhail, “He had all the chances in the world. It has got to come to an end.“

“To All” – A message from Troy Anthony Davis

I want to thank all of you for your efforts and dedication to Human Rights and Human Kindness, in the past year I have experienced such emotion, joy, sadness and never ending faith. It is because of all of you that I am alive today, as I look at my sister Martina I am marveled by the love she has for me and of course I worry about her and her health, but as she tells me she is the eldest and she will not back down from this fight to save my life and prove to the world that I am innocent of this terrible crime.

As I look at my mail from across the globe, from places I have never ever dreamed I would know about and people speaking languages and expressing cultures and religions I could only hope to one day see first hand. I am humbled by the emotion that fills my heart with overwhelming, overflowing Joy. I can’t even explain the insurgence of emotion I feel when I try to express the strength I draw from you all, it compounds my faith and it shows me yet again that this is not a case about the death penalty, this is not a case about Troy Davis, this is a case about Justice and the Human Spirit to see Justice prevail.

I cannot answer all of your letters but I do read them all, I cannot see you all but I can imagine your faces, I cannot hear you speak but your letters take me to the far reaches of the world, I cannot touch you physically but I feel your warmth everyday I exist.

So Thank you and remember I am in a place where execution can only destroy your physical form but because of my faith in God, my family and all of you I have been spiritually free for some time and no matter what happens in the days, weeks to come, this Movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose a system that fails to protect the innocent must be accelerated. There are so many more Troy Davis’. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this Unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country.

I can’t wait to Stand with you, no matter if that is in physical or spiritual form, I will one day be announcing,

“I AM TROY DAVIS, and I AM FREE!”

Never Stop Fighting for Justice and We will Win!

Charles Manson lebt derweil man einen Unschuldigen hinrichtet! Und so einem Staat kriecht die Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel NO winselnd hinterher, wenn es um einen Staat für die Palästinenser geht. Man kann sich nur noch an den Kopf fassen! Die USA müssen vor den Vereinten Nationen alleine dastehen mit ihrem Veto! Sie gehören endlich vor aller Welt bloßgestellt!
