SUMMARY:
Produced on 11-8-2007 and narrated by Naji Mujahid of the DC Radio Co-op/Peoples’ MEDIA Center, this work is a documentary about the plight of Troy Anthony Davis who has been on Death Row in Georgia since 1991. He has maintained his innocence throughout this time. He was convicted by the State with no material evidence and solely on the testimony of nine key witnesses. Since the recantation of seven witnesses, however, his case has garnered worldwide support and calls for a new trial.

LETS ROLL!!! KEEP ME POSTED ON THE NEXT MOVE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that we have to keep fighting to abolish the death penalty. One group that I know of that’s doing a lot of work around this issue is Students Against Mass Incarceration. It’s a Howard University group and they’re pretty radical. You might want to check them out. Here’s the contact info: Benjamin Woods, SAMI, 607-339-8188, stdntsagainstmassincarceration@gmail.com
