Dear Board Members:
I write to you today with the utmost urgency. Troy Anthony Davis' execution
date is just one week away and I respectfully request that you commute
Troy's death sentence immediately.
The death penalty is an irreversible action with victims far beyond the
individual in question. By no means should the murder of Officer Mark Allen
McPhail be ignored or condoned. Officer McPhail's family, friends and
community have lost their loved one, friend and colleague and justice must
be sought.
However, recent developments including new evidence indicating a possible
alternative suspect in the case means that significant doubt has been cast
on the conviction of Troy Anthony Davis. Supporting this doubt are the many
witnesses who have recanted their trial testimony.
There has been a large number of wrongful convictions in capital cases in
the United States since 1976, the unreliability of witness testimony being a
contributing factor in many of them. Please do not add Troy Anthony Davis
to this list. Once done, the death penalty cannot be reversed.
Your power to commute Troy's sentence and your power of clemency exist as a
failsafe against irreversible error. I ask you today to exert that power
and commute Troy's sentence. At the very least this will ensure that
further investigation into the alternative suspect can be carried out. At
the most it will ensure that a possibly innocent man will not lose his life.
Sincerely,
(your name)
Troy was granted a 90 day stay of execution by the Georgia Parole board on Monday. see

My son and I both work as police officer's. If we keep letting these type of cop killers go free,police officers throughout the country might as well turn in there badges and let the criminals run rampent. Incidents like this are more common now,more than ever.Everybody that commits a henious act claims to have rights. What about the rights of the innocent.The familes who are affected.I run into alot of criminals, and they all cry, "It's all about me". One drug dealer made the comment, "The money is worth the time".
Officer Mike Beblar
Even if Mr. Davies is guilty, I certainly don't believe he should be executed. And given the doubts about his
guilt, his certainly deserves at least a stay of execution.
Interesting that the American conservatives who whinge about "big government" have no problem giving
federal and state governments the power of life and death over its citizens.
Michael - have you not actually read the original story? Surely you have grasped that there are valid concerns about the way this particular case was investigated and prosecuted. And surely as a police officer you can appreciate the reasons why these concerns are valid. Whether or not you are a supporter of capital punishment for those that murder police officers it is in everyone's best interests that miscarriages of justice are avoided. If this guy did not in fact commit the murder he has been found guilty of, then there is a real killer on the loose who could possibly do it again. Also, the evidence seems to state that capital punishment is not a deterent against murder. Your own country's statistics are proof enough of this.
