Issue a Nationwide HALT on the Death Penalty.

On September 21, 2011, officials in the state of Georgia showed the WORLD how flawed our criminal justice system is when they executed Troy Davis, a man who was convicted on killing an off duty police officer in 1989. With the level of doubt that surrounded the circumstances of his conviction, he should have been given a new trial. Putting a man to death based solely on eyewitness accounts, where 7 of the 9 witnesses recanted, and when there is an overwhelming amount of reasonable doubt about his conviction is unjust and truly despicable. The world was outraged as they saw a potentially innocent man being put to death. There HAS to be a halt to the death penalty until our system is fixed. Please join me in signing this petition to put a halt to the death penalty. R.I.P. Troy Davis
