Troy Davis Case

Recently in Atlanta Georgia, an inmate by the name of Troy Davis is requesting a polygraph test before his exicution date. Davis was convicted in 1991 for the murder of Mark McPhail a police officer that wasoff duty in Savannah Georgia at the time. Perhaps Davis's request is the request of a man at the end of his rope, looking for one last way out. The thing about this story that caught my eyes is that several of the witeness that were involved in the 1991 hearing have recanted their testimonies. It just simply baffles me how in 1991 a person, who had sworn to tell the truth can change what they say happened 20 years later. Perhaps prosecuters should further investigate those who gave faulty testimoines. However on the other hand if they do agree to give the polygraph test to Davis and they find he is innocent it will raise question and lower faith in the Georgia justice system. I think it is a risk they should take. If they do find that Davis is innocent then they should charge the witnesses who gave faulty testimonies with obstructure to justice. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD PUT AN INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH. And they should be willing to do everything they can to prove Troy Davis's innocence or guiltyness.
