If those recanters haven’t admitted to committing perjury, they can “recant” all they want. It doesn’t mean anything.

Officer

Mark Allen MacPhail, Sr.

Savannah Police Department, Georgia

End of Watch: Saturday, August 19, 1989

 

Officer Mark MacPhail was shot and killed while working an off duty security job at a bus station. He was shot while attempting to break up a fight in the parking lot of a nearby fast food restaurant. The man shot him underneath his vest and then again in the head as he fell. Officer MacPhail was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Savannah Police Department for three years. He was survived by his wife, 1-year-old daughter, infant son, mother, and siblings.

There’s a reason more than a dozen courts have looked at Davis’ case and refused to overturn his death sentence. He is as innocent as every other executed man since at least 1950, which is to say, guilty as hell.

[BOBWADE]

I have heard ist said that the death penalty is 100percent effective. No killer has come back from the grave to kill again.

Fry him!

The guy who dragged a man to death in Texas was also executed. Where are the anti-death penalty protestors and their candlelight vigils for him?

What, no protests? I thought execution was inhumane no matter who is being executed?

This is a good recap. Although there are some posters who insist on moving the football from proof beyond all reasonable doubt to proof beyond all unreasonable doubt

Hell gets a new resident tonight!!!

[ari-freedom]

2 residents. Lawrence Russell Brewer and Troy Davis.

[Meet the New Boss]

Anderson Cooper os in CNN with some liberal wringing her hands bloody over how terrible the death penalty is.

Anderson looked like someone had slapped in the face when Toobin told him the SCOTUS decision against Davis was unanimous and that every judge who has looked at the case has ruled against Davis.

Adios Mofo!

[matthew fuller]

I heard that three jurors have changed their minds also.

[ColdSteelTalon]

I agree with you his sentence should be commuted. How can we be sure that he committed murder if 7 of nine witnesses recanted??

[MrNJ]

someone else explained it well

[sagar]

Those 7 need to be put in the death row as well.

[fwdude]

So does this mean his execution will be rescheduled for 10 years from now?

[Empireoftheatom48]

Let’s get it on then!

[EDINVA]

I heard earlier that one of the two who didn’t recant, Sylvester Something, called “Red,” is suspected of having committed the murder. So, if that were true, he’d surely have a vested interest in standing by his story. I have no idea of the truth, or lack of truth, of any of the ‘witnesses.’

[Niuhuru]

I wonder if these recantations were made under outside duress.

[Lancey Howard]

Mmmm... Noodles.
