Police never found a murder weapon. Seven of the nine nonpolice witnesses recanted or changed their original testimony. Some of these witnesses say police pressed them to implicate Davis. Some also point to another man, one of the two witnesses who continue to implicate Davis, as the real murderer. • Williams Sessions, a former district court judge, served as FBI director from 1987 to 1993.

Mr. Davis has been on death row in Georgia for more than 17 years for the murder of a police officer, and related violent crimes. I was the director of the FBI under Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, and I believe that there is no more serious violent crime than the murder of an off-duty police officer who was putting his life on the line to protect innocent bystanders. procedural obstacles, no court has examined the claims Mr. Davis's current legal team has raised.

To the Governor of the State of Georgia and the Members of the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles

Having become aware of the current circumstances surrounding the fate of Mr. Troy Anthony Davis, I am deeply and urgently concerned by the imminent possibility of a grave injustice.

I fervently hope that there are only a few prosecutors and former prosecutors in America today who find themselves, as I do, in the position of having to admit an error in judgment that may have produced an unfortunate result in a criminal prosecution. I believe that prosecutors whose very best efforts may have produced unintended results in capital murder cases have a moral and ethical duty to accept responsibility for their mistakes.

Several witnesses have implicated another man in the crime, but for whatever reason the police focused their efforts on convicting Mr. Troy.

If you want to know how you can help, then write to Troy, give him hope, show up in numbers when you are needed, but more importantly know that my family knows that you are all a blessing to us and we thank you for all you are doing and will continue to do. We will fight until the end, even past Troy I will see the death penalty abolished in my lifetime. Please know that Faith can move mountains and we can Still Save Troy Anthony Davis.

Letter from European Parliament subcommittee on Human Rights to the Georgia Board of Pardons & Paroles regarding Troy Davis case. As the Georgia Supreme Court has refused to give Troy Davis a hearing, these doubts have not been lifted. At that time you stated that your Board "would not authorize executions in the State of Georgia unless its members were convinced there was no doubt regarding the defendant's guilt".
