I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I wrote the following about Troy Davis on my blog daddyBstrong.blogsptot.com:

"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This morning, the daddy got out of bed, made coffee, and sipped it out on his patio. Then, with java still in hand, he strolled leisurely around his backyard, smelling flowers and listening to birds.

Then the image of a round, speckled-face Troy Davis came into his head, this almost nerdy looking guy who, had he not been arrested and convicted, could have been someone's smart lawyer defending him or her in court, or some community librarian sitting behind a desk. This is the same Troy Davis who, last week, was saved by the U.S. Supreme Court just two hours before he was put to death by the racist parole board of Georgia. The same Troy Davis who is awaiting to hear if the same court that saved him last week (the U.S. Supreme Court) will, in a few days or a couple of weeks, say they will NOT hear his case, signaling to the racist Georgia Parole board to go ahead and execute him...

The same Troy Davis who not only can't grab a cup of coffee and walk around his backyard; he can't even leave his cell.

The Villager over at Electronic Village says, "It is up to us to share information with our blog readers that they might not find elsewhere." The daddy agrees and adds, "Keep Troy Davis in the front of their minds and in the center of your hearts until he is liberated from prison and can walk in his own backyard, smell the flowers and hear the birds sing again.

Love your new layout!

Thanks for posting on this. The Troy Davis case is but another reason that the death penalty should be abolished.

This man's case has serious holes in it, but if the state had their way, he'd have been dead before anyone even had a change to investigate further.

@ Clnmike, fingers crossed with heads bowed on bended knees...

@ MacDaddy, much obliged for keeping Troy's efforts in focus.

@ Ajuan, much obliged! Had to do something with that old layout. Feels like a new house :>).

Yes, we must keep the focus on this case. I just don't know how the SC would be able to deny his appeal. But, as we know-stranger things have happened.

Hey rhere!

Thank you for following this case closely!

Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

I hope all goes well for him

SjP, just got your comment about the Supreme Court not hearing Davis' case. Sad news, for him and for the country. I'll post again and ask others to do the same.
