Injustice In A Justice System

We live in a country where we are "innocent until proven guilty." Where justice is supposed to prevail.
 Well at least thats the way its supposed to be. In this case a great INJUSTICE was served.
Tony Davis is was accused of murdering a Savannah police officer in 1989. Ten days ago i received and e-mail from Change.org talking about this case, and asking for signatures. I read up on the case and was outraged it had gotten this far. It makes me sick to think someone could be put to death when there was no physical evidence and so much doubt surrounding the case. However this case is one with an immense amount of doubt. How does a government justify killing a man, when there is a fair amount of reasonable doubt involved?
 "Davis' lawyers said seven of nine key witnesses against him disputed all or parts of their testimony, state and federal judges repeatedly ruled against granting him a new trial. As the court losses piled up Wednesday, his offer to take a polygraph test was rejected and the pardons board refused to give him one more hearing." 


Just a feeling that American's are going to be re-evaluating their faith in the justice system after this. Also the opposition against the death penalty will just grow stronger, with perhaps more supporters.


"When the state kills those whose guilt is in serious doubt, or when the state kills those to whom it has not given fair justice, it doesn't just perform an injustice upon the individual, the rule of law, and the Constitution. It also undermines the very legitimacy of the death penalty itself, for its continuing use as a sentencing option derives its civic and moral strength mostly from the fiction that it can be, and is, credibly and reliably imposed. Once our confidence in that credibility is shattered, as it should be now that Davis is gone, all that's left of the death penalty is state-sponsored retribution and the hangman's noose. " -ANDREW COHEN
Davis's last words were "For those about to take my life," he told prison officials, "may God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls." 

This is such a sad story but it  makes me wonder how much faith we can actually put in our system? If a potential innocent man is put to death, then how many potential guilty men or women walk free? A few come to mind. It will be intriguing to see the kind of debate this case sparks.

The Giving Key

Hello Darlings-
I'd like you introduce you to The Giving Keys; its a one of a kind necklace with a play it forward message. You special order these necklaces and choose a word (up to 8 letters) that mean something to you. However when you buy or are given one of these necklaces, you must give it away at some time. You need to give it to someone who you feel needs this message  most.

This is my necklace: I choose the word
  Believe 
I choose believe because sometimes thats all you need to do.
Or sometimes all you need is for someone to believe in you.
If you believe it, you can be it. 
 Play it forward darlings

Never Forget.

 “Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “
- President George W. Bush, November 11, 2001
"You can be sure that the American spirit will prevail over this tragedy." -Colin Powell


“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.
- George W. Bush, President of the United States
"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11." -President Barack Obama

NEVER FORGET.
