The 21st of September will be remembered for a case of injustice to an innocent man called Troy Davis.
Troy Davis. It will also be remembered as a day where a great amount of miscarriage of justice occurred.
Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a police officer in 1989, but 7 out of 9 eye-witnesses changed their testimony and there was no physical evidence linking him to the scene of crime. There was simply too much doubt to execute him.
Yet, it happened. The 21st of September at 11:08 pm EST Troy Davis died due to lethal injection.
But there are many Troy Davises out there - and the fight for justice towards them will continue.
Rest in Peace, Troy Davis - the fight has only just begun.
