Incredibly, but perhaps predictably, the state of Georgia is about to execute an innocent man. All of the jurors now say they'd now vote for not-guilty [if they knew then what they know now]; all of the witnesses except one have changed their minds 180 degrees - the other witness is now believed to have been the real perpetrator of the crime.
It is still possible for the Board to reverse its decision, but there are less than 14 hours left. A sad indictment of the Amerikan 'legal' system....where so many innocent people are imprisoned or die. American's are blood thirsty for scapegoats, punishment - even if not for the real perpetrator, and death.
It has becoming a society based on the worst in humans - fear, greed, revenge, untruths, death, wars, etc. Very sad.
Cry my beloved county....in my lifetime I have seen you go from quite bad to worse...much worse! The future of America doesn't look bright to me. We are leading the World over 'the edge' on all 'fronts' - from morality to pollution to war. Thanatos is strong in America, and Justice very weak. If it can happen to Troy Davis, it can happen to everyone.....but most just think; 'it can't happen to me!"...
