Humble Request for Clemency for Troy Davis

Your Honor:
I am writing to beg your consideration of clemency for Troy Davis. While I applaud your fealty to uphold the law, please consider the circumstances of this particular and individual case before you. There is no hard, significant evidence that he was the perpetrator. Witnesses have recanted. Jurors have stated that they would rule differently, had all evidence been presented at trial.

I appreciate that we cannot as a society condone the murder of anyone, never mind a person who has sworn an oath and puts their life on the line to protect the public. However, in this instance, the law may be committing a wanton murder in the name of seeking justice for the death of a law officer. I feel for the officers’ family. My heart broke for the daughter that misses her father. However, I do not believe that her Dad would want the wrong man to die by the hands of the State of Georgia, if there is any real and serious question as to his guilt.

Clemency is not a reprieve. It would give everyone the opportunity to review the evidence with fresh eyes. No it will not restore the life of the brave slain officer. However, clemency will demonstrate that the State of Georgia is fair-minded, and sworn to uphold the law for the protection of all its citizens.

Thank you most kindly for your consideration.

Respectfully Submitted
