Troy Anthony Davis: No News is Good News?
An update on the case of Troy Davis, a man whom several people including top investigators believe was wrongly convicted of killing a police officer: nothing. It's still a waiting game.
If the best for Davis happens and he is released, at least 17 years of his life, his young years, will be gone. He's 40 now; he was 23 when this all began. We don't know what Georgia does, but in some states when you're wrongly convicted and serve for years for something you didn't do, you get a few thousand dollars. In others, you get nothing but "sorry."
Neither one comes close to making up for those years of your life. But let's hope something is done soon.

The court needs to get off its collective behind and do something! If he's guilty, execute him. If he's not, let him go home.

Executing people is the wrong thing to do. If you kill an innocent man, you can never take it back. And killing is not the solution. If we say, "What you did is terrible," does that give us the right to do a terrible act?

If the courts took care of things quickly, they'd get everything done and people would realize we don't need them.
