Prosecute the witnesses and officials who lied on Troy Davis

Prosecute the witnesses and officials who lied on Troy Davis

The Issue

As the Troy Davis case painfully demonstrates anyone of us is at risk for execution based on phony testimony alone which is not sufficient to establish guilt. The fact that the witnesses who admitted to lying on Troy Davis have not been charged with perjury by the state proves that the law enforcement did influence these false statements. Therefore since these law enforcement officials and witnesses knowingly violated Troy Davis' civil rights and intentionally misled the Court and the Jury, then they should all be charged with perjury.
