A grave injustice has take place. Troy Davis has been put to death by the state of Georgia. If you don't know about the details of the Troy Davis case, read here. What it boils down to is that there is too much evidence to suggest that he not only might not be guilty, but that he was probably innocent.
I was going to take this opportunity to write a post about the injustice of the death penalty. I will another day. While I have always been opposed to the death penalty, this case has energized me to become more vocal and speak out against the cruel and permanent injustice of this "punishment". For right now, I am just sad for Troy and all of those involved in this case (including the MacPhail family).
A grave injustice has taken place in Georgia. May the real killer of Mark Allen MacPhail face justice one day. May the memory of Troy Davis be the beginning of the end of the death penalty in the United States.
