Well it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed...

Many of you may have seen this elsewhere, but I urge you to click here to send a fax to the Georgia State Board of Pardons & Paroles calling on them to commute the sentence of Troy Davis. From the Amnesty page:

Troy Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark Allen McPhail in Georgia. The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony which contained inconsistencies even at the time of the trial. Since then, all but two of the state's nine non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted their testimony. Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced by police into testifying or signing statements against Troy Davis.

This will cost you nothing. The clemency board has until 3 pm tomorrow, four hours before Davis's scheduled execution, to commute the sentence. Please send the fax.
