re: "should die for killing Mark MacPhail, an off-duty police officer, in a Savannah parking lot in 1989."

Good grief. It's been 22 years!

Death penalty sentences (to which, you will remember, I am opposed... but only because I have a more APPROPRIATE punishment in mind for murderers) should be imposed within 22 HOURS.

Stringing it on any longer than that is cruel - to the condemned man and, more importantly, to the family, friends and society of the victim. I don't know how you liberals can stand what you've done to our judicial system.

Georgia Board of Pardons Rejects Clemency for Troy Davis

Troy Davis, whose death-row case ignited an international campaign to save his
life, has lost what appeared to be his last attempt to avoid death by lethal
injection on Wednesday.

Rejecting pleas by Mr. Davis’s lawyers that shaky witness testimony and a lack
of physical evidence presented enough doubt about his guilt to spare him death,
the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles ruled on Tuesday morning that Mr.
Davis, 42, should die for killing Mark MacPhail, an off-duty police officer, in
a Savannah parking lot in 1989.
