Im not sure if any of the bees have been following the story of this man, but my heart is so heavy for this family. I dont want this post to turn into a debate on death penalty or racism. If you have any negative thoughts i ask that you please not comment on this post.

This man's family is a friend of my family and i just pray that God takes control of this situation. There are way too many innocent people being put to death...these are scary times right now. If your religous or not please just send positive thoughts and prayers his way today.

Thanks Bees

I know of his story and have been following the case with a mix of heartbreak and outrage. I'm so sorry for what he, and his family are going through and I hope he can get the polygraph, or another delay before tonight. :(

@dorsay: they just released that the prison is blocking the poloygraph. His lawyers just filed a last minute stay. They should at least commute his sentence to life instead of putting this man to death.

There are so many issues with this case. It just makes me so mad because people like Casey anthony get released.....and this man is about to die.

My husband lived in Savannah at the time of this murder (I'm too young to remember it, but he does), and is a former cop himself. Lots of news reports that there was no physical evidence found linking him to the murder, but there were- bloodied clothes of his found at his mother's house. He ran to Atlanta to hide after the murder. Lots of news stories are not printing the full details of the crime. Here's an article from the former DA who helped prosecute this case that sheds some light on "doubts" about the case. I'm not saying there's not faults with the death penalty or our justice system in general, but I also don't think Troy Davis is as innocent as many people would believe. 

@ohheavenlyday: Not going to debate if he is innocent or not but i do believe that putting him to death is not the answer. My heart aches for the family of the police officer also. The family is saying the the bloodied clother were not from the shooting of this officer and they were never tested for DNA.

With so many new and amazing forensic science tools out there, why are they not testing the clothes...and why are they not allowing this man to take a polograpgh?

As a black man, living down south, where there is so much racial tension, being accused of killling white police officer....anyone would run.

@PitBulLover: i agree.

@jo.lee:I signed the online petition, that have over a million signatures already. I am so disguisted right now at the system.

I cant even focus at work :(

bump

@PitBulLover:  This.

@PitBulLover:I .....am....so....sick...over....this.....we are all at work, going about our normal lives and someone's mother is about to lose her son, his sister or brother are about to lose thier brother...this man is getting ready to order his last meal.

im....just.....praying

Keeping him and his family in my thoughts tonight...

I hope it occurs to the "powers that be" that it will only make the victim's loved ones grieve all over again, with guilt added to it,  if it comes out after he's executed that he was innocent.

@mandypop: THIS

HuffPo is hinting at a possible US Supreme Court stay on the execution, but isn't offering anything concrete. CNN was also hinting a few minutes ago, but their site is changing quickly and it's disappearing. According to CNN he's already been sedated. Not looking good.

According to ABC, the Supreme Court has delayed the execution while they hear arguments.

@Eva Peron: Yes i am glued to CNN right now!!!! i hope they give him a stay! how amazing are all those people standing out side that jailhouse right now praying for this man!!! Thank God for whatver he is doing right now!!

I also would like to ask everyone to pray for Lawrence Brewer who was also executed today. Regardless of his crimes No man should have the power to take another mans like "legally". my heart aches for him and his family.

Lets all stay prayful for troy davis an dhis family and that God touches the hearts of every judge on the supreme court and allows them to spare this mans life.

@PitBulLover: im literally glued to CNN....there should be some news soon. its is only delayed as they wait for word from superme court.....still stay prayful please!

@MrsStrawberry24: So agreed.  I dont have much faith in SCOTUS right now.  But hopefully.

@MrsCoachBtoBee: yes 7 out of the 9 witness admiitted they testified becasue they felt like they had no other choice. very said case....i hope they come up with something soon...and let this man live out the rest of his sentence in prison. who are we to condem this man to death?

The stay was rejected... Troy Davis will be put to death in a few minutes. My heart aches.

@Candace From BC: because you system is so messed up that was prob the only choice that he had...death or the rest of his life behind bars.

@aleeshabobeesha:i hope people use thier anger to change the system and not riot...what will that fix?

RIP Troy Davis
