Andrew Cohen Examines A Ga. Murder Case That May Send An Innocent Man To His Death

[fiteit1]

The officer that died (if a good officer) wouldn''t have wanted it this way. I am surprised that the family and friends of the officer is willing to sweep this under the carpet and let a (most likely innocent) person die and a guilty person not get punished. What a way to honor a relative or friend.

May the people that know the truth and did nothing and those that refuse to fully investigate it burn in hell.

Upfront this looks bad,however I doubt that the truth will be known.I fail to see what DNA would prove in this case?I dont think the shooter touched anything but the gun.With all those witnesses someone needs to step forward with the weapon and save this man if he is innocent.Or face your maker someday and repent.Why does everyone want to wash their hands of life and blame it on others?

Does anyone seriously believe this man would still be on death row if he were white?

Actually, I think this might be the case that finishes the death penalty in the States. The UK dropped the death penalty partly because it became obvious that they should never have hanged Timothy Evans. But really it would be far more to the point to have a retrial. I really don''t see them getting a conviction.

The US Supreme Court is a disgrace to the United States as far as I am concerned. America stands for
justice. Where is Troy Davis justice? With seven out
of nine witnesses recanting their testimony should constitute for a new trial for Mr. Davis. To many politics is going on in America instead of remembering
human lives and what is right. America does not stand
for a right to a fair trial anymore.

Thank you for this article. We are all disappointed in the Supreme Court as well as in the judicial system of GA regarding especially this case.
