Troy Davis was wrongfully executed last night, and the struggle to save his life has gotten world-wide attention for the pure injustice and inhumanity of his circumstance. Everyone knows that this was a failure on the part of our justice system, when a presumably innocent man could be executed without sufficient evidence based on the modern principles and practices of our legal system.
One of my soulmates, Chace, worked diligently as a law student at Santa Clara University for The Innocence Project. “The Innocence Project is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals through DNA testing and reforming the the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.”
Having been privileged enough to meet one of the main volunteers for T.I.P. just a few months ago, I was extremely touched by her story of fortitude and perseverance in helping to rebuild the life of a wrongfully convicted man, who had already served 8 years in prison. Through her selfless, noble efforts, she was able to get this man free.
