Amnesty International is having a big push on this, and I hope that they can help pressure the state to stop it.
This is crazy. A co-worker of mine at work told me about this but, he didn't tell me everything. I'm going to ask him if he read the whole story because the way he portrayed it, is far from what I have read. I hate to hear things like this and, hope it gets stopped.
What was the name of that organization started by two of OJ Simpsons lawyers to help wrongly accused people? Where are they?
No it was a charity. It was FOR poor people wrongly accused and helped them prove their innocence. They just had to prove to a degree to convince them to take it on so like everyone in prison who say they are innocent, all 100% of them , didn't bog down the charity with stoopid request.
Update of Troy Davis case: http://news.yahoo.com/us-board-considers-high-profile-inmates-case-135618893.html The Kid Rasta
In non-death penalty cases, reasonable doubt prevails. In death-penalty cases, there should never, ever be a shadow of a doubt, let alone reasonable. There seems to be a huge overcast on this case. The State needs to covert his sentence until further notice. Wondering how he even got tied up in the first place? Was he there at the scene, as it states he contents another man there did the shooting (but that could mean he just meant its a complete mistaken identity altogether and he wasn't even there....was he a petty criminal before hand that the cops had his mug shot to show witnesses?) And what about the remaining 2 who have not recanted? What do they have to say since then? Suffice to say 2 eyewitnesses would be enough normally...so I wonder if were the remaining seven were coerced for good measure, to ensure iron-clad "identification?"
CNN did a documentary on them. They followed several cases where the defendants insisted they were innocent, and filed legal motion after motion for years to get the Innocence Projects attention. Of the I think 4 stories highlighted...they were all guilty except one. One guy was convicted of raping and murdering his girlfriend's teen daughter as she lay asleep and I swear you felt so sorry for him as he laid out the "wrong/bad evidence" against him..and when the DNA came back that it was his sperm all up in her...ugh....And he shrugged his shoulders like "oh well" when they came back to tell him. The DA was furious at him saying all along he KNEW, and he callously stole the time, the $10, 000 needed for the tests and energy from another possibly truly innocent person.
Ugh that stupid ass. Meanwhile some truly innocent person rots in prison. But I have always heard you can't find anyone in prison who says they are guilty.
don't be so sure...one of my son's childhood friends is about to go to prison...he was a witness to the july 4th shooting a few blocks from our house...he will not say who the shooter is...the shooting was gang related and now his family is being threatened...he is going to take what ever they give him and spends years in prison...not a damn thing he can do...
