Executing reasonable doubts.

My friend, Camille Tilley, is a tireless champion of the wrongly convicted, having been through hell with the system trying to free her daughter, Courtney, from prison here in Arizona. She took the time out to show support for Troy Davis in Savannah, Georgia, where they held a vigil the night before the court hearing, which she also attended. Troy's case is the one which the Supreme Court will likely use to decide whether or not it's unconstitutional to execute an innocent person...

I can't believe that's even something they have to decide. Even I know the answer to that one.


Anyway, here's the link to the news on the morning of the court hearing- once there you need to click on "Getting a seat for Davis hearing." That's Camille as usual, at work while she's probably supposed to be taking a break. Here's the link to the group she's been organizing:
