The U.S use of death penalty in every form should be questioned by those people
who value rights that we have fought for over generations in Europe.

The last attempt at appeal will be 24 hours after the U.S memorialises the 9/11 attacks,
which means the MSM attention will be directed on the candidature for the election
and attendant patriotism. Seven years ago a similar conjunction occurred when the
issues raised by the Mc Veigh execution were similarily disregarded (June 11th 2001)
thus leaving a huge gap in the whys of the attack on the Federal building. Tracing the
U.S relationship with the death Penalty is very difficult, high profile cases such as
Gilmore and Mc Veigh (who both requested execution) muddies the issues of the
use of that method of Justice in the case of a proven case of coercion against individuals
who have admitted placing him at the scene of the crime through bullying by law enforcement
agents.

Please send solidarity and support messages to the listed blog site included above.

Gary Gilmore was the first legal execution victim through firing squad after the US
lifted the prohibition on public execution.

The Clemency hearing at the the State Board of Paroles and Pardons began yesterday at 12.30pm.
Defence closed some hours later , after five witnesses took the stand there was a press conference
by the Defence stating that they had presented overwhelming evidence 'doubting his guilt'.

The Prosecution hearings will begin soon, with members of the Mc Phail family in attendance.
The execution is scheduled for the 23rd of September @7.30pm.

He was denied a re-trial after several witnesses recanted their original evidence.
Options open to the Georgia Board of Paroles and Pardons are limited by the refusal of re-trial.

Clemency has been denied and the scheduled execution of Troy Anthony Davis Is due to
take place in Atlanta Georgia this evening at 7pm.

Thats cos American citizens believe in the death penalty, though it was only famously re-instigated
for the Shooting of Gary Gilmore .

it is rather too late for people to use the addresses given in the links above to make their
feelings known on the issue of executing a man whom is most possibly innocent.

it is also rather late to be asking about the Republican Pro-life campaign that is
being run by Mc Cain and Palin in the context of the use of state execution as deterrent , whilst
attempting to deny medical abortion rights to women in contravention of accepted articles
under Human Rights Law.
