Troy Davis, simbolo della lotta contro la pena capitale è stato giustiziato. La condanna a morte è stata eseguita con un’iniezione letale, meno di un’ora dopo che la Corte suprema aveva respinto l’ultima istanza di appello presentata dagli avvocati del condannato.
Queste le sue ultime parole:
“I’d like to address the MacPhail family. Let you know, despite the situation you are in, I’m not the one who personally killed your son, your father, your brother. I am innocent. The incident that happened that night is not my fault. I did not have a gun. All I can ask … is that you look deeper into this case so that you really can finally see the truth. I ask my family and friends to continue to fight this fight. For those about to take my life, God have mercy on your souls. And may God bless your souls.
