GFADP: Troy Davis execution is ‘callous, careless and irreversible’
September 12, 2008 at 6:05 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsGeorgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, an umbrella coalition for organizations and individuals opposed to the practice, has condemned the Georgia Board of Prisons and Paroles’ decision to deny Troy Davis clemency.
From Sara Totonchi, chair of the coalition:
“We are horrified and ashamed as Georgians to see our state revealing its bloodthirst by executing Troy Davis, when so many questions remain on whether or not he is innocent. Executing Troy Davis is callous, careless and irreversible. The state should be slowing down to address the well-documented, serious problems with a system that irreversibly takes human life, rather than rushing to carry out an execution of a possibly innocent man. This case is proof positive that the death penalty should be abolished.”
