Current News Event

In today’s society the Government can kill you based off of evidence and a jury is used to decide the final case. Troy Davis was convicted for murder in 1989 for a killing an officer by the name of Mark MacPhail. There were seven witnesses and five of them said they witness this killing and two said that Troy confessed to them that he did this murder. He was convicted with murder, this case went on trial in 1991. September 21,2011 11:08 pm.(Et) Troy was dead by lethal ejection. The government had schedule to kill Troy Davis three previous times. There were so many people who were against this (manslaughter) and protested for this case. There also were people who wanted to feel justice and by that being they felt troy was guilty and that this  should be his punishment. I personally don’t agree with killing any one by lethal ejection rather they are innocent or guilty. Why should a jury or even pure evidence determine your death? I do feel if you are convicted of a crime or murder that you should due prison time, but to bluntly kill someone is not fair. The best thing in this case was to let Troy Davis live but have life in prison. I personally only know what the news and media tells me so I still have several questions on this case. I oppose this is not the last and there are several cases that will be just like this to come. As a human in this world my thought matters but my action is the impact and will help what matters. What I will do is get more involved and join the activist who are protesting for a good cause.
