Shame. A black physician is convicted for the death of a black male entertainer, while a white doctor was exonerated for killing a white female entertainer for the same type of charges. Justice? The Jackson family should be ashamed. Not to mention they are so disingenuous and hypocritical. Where were they when Michael needed intervention for years in the first place - in his pocketbook?
Watch Press Conference About Troy Davis' Last Words - Digg
@Ferkel. You say that like there has never been a history of pressure put on blacks to "conform" to others' demands on how they vote. You know better. Jim Crow was as alive then as it is now. Those who don't want to hear about "racist crap" are those who know that it weighs heavily in daily life, the justice system especially. That is an evasive attitude of avoiding truth.
As to what Officer MacPhail said to Troy Davis, it must be nothing since Davis maintained he did not kill the officer. With his last breath he adhered to his initial statements that he did not kill the man. For those who want to believe Davis killed him: he did, even if evidence were presented before their faces. And if you were there, you are an eye witness since you know he killed him - along with some of MacPhail's family members who "know." Only an eye witness can "know" beyond a shadow of a doubt. Peace.

Someone murdered my brother. I know who they are. We all live in the same neighborhood. I have had the opportunity to care for one of them who was old and ailing. All the while, I knew If I had a chance to see him on death row, I would pray him off death row because I have seen him live his punishment. They were never caught. My brother had no witness except God. They said .... Justice is to live in order to pay for the wrong done to someone else. There are those who never repent of the evil they do to others. Killing them won't change their mind. Yet they have to live with the thought that they in consciousness are less than human. There are no thoughts in the grave.
