Today, the members of the AfroSpear are calling an international effort to bring focus the plight of Troy Davis. Back in August 1989, he was convicted of killing police officer Mark McPhail (our prayers are with the McPhail family) in Savannah Georgia.
Since his conviction, mounting evidence suggests Mr. Davis was wrongly convicted, with 7 or 9 witnesses recanting their testimony.
My friend over at the Electronic Village has compiled a lenghty post about Mr. Davis’ story, so I won’t repeat it here, but will direct you to his post.

Asante sana for the ‘link love’.
My hope is that our prayers, blog posts, letters, calls and emails will move Gov. Perdue to do the right thing.
peace, Villager
Villager, thanks for stopping by and yes, let’s hope that our efforts help. Always ready to return the favor on the link love you’ve shown me and so many in the past.
Well done for posting about this issue. It’s important to publicize this as widely as possible.

Much obliged for participating in this important call to action. I hope you will accept a token of my appreciation left at the old SjP’s for you. Just learned that MSM is being denied access to Troy.
SJP, my pleasure and thanks.
