Preacher offers to die in place of Troy Davis
In case you missed Joeff Davis’ report earlier, the Rev. Marvin Morgan of Atlanta offered to be executed in the place of Troy Davis, who’s scheduled to die tomorrow. He and two other people have been in the governor’s waiting room since just after 11 a.m.
Here’s part of the letter he delivered to the governor’s office.
I, MARVIN L. MORGAN, DO HEREBY REQUEST THAT YOU (The State of Georgia) TAKE MY LIFE INSTEAD OF THAT OF TROY DAVIS, AND ALLOW TROY TO BE SET FREE. I AM AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY TO BE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY SO THAT THIS REQUEST MAY BE CARRIED FORWARD.
It may be a publicity stunt, but it’s a good and honorable one.
