Good news for Troy Davis!
On Monday August 17th the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a new evidentiary hearing for death-row inmate Troy Davis. With its ruling, the nation's highest court decided that Davis should have another chance to prove his innocence before the state of Georgia puts him to death.
Troy Davis was convicted of killing police officer Mark MacPhail nearly two decades ago in a trial with no physical evidence. Seven out of nine state witnesses have since recanted or altered their initial testimonies in sworn affidavits. And one of the remaining witnesses is alleged to be the actual perpetrator.
Since the launch of its February 2007 report, Where Is the Justice for Me?, Amnesty International has campaigned intensively for a new evidentiary hearing or trial, as well as clemency for Davis, collecting hundreds of thousands of clemency petition signatures and letters from prominent individuals around the world.
Amnesty International has maintained all along that Troy's compelling case of innocence needs to see the light of day. Finally it will.
A quote from Nelson Mandela's inaugural speech
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The above speech by Nelson Mandela was originally written by Marianne Williamson who is the author of other similar material.
