Here's an excerpt from Russell Simmons' blog regarding the execution of Troy Davis. This execution is causing many to reflect on how our country deals with crime and punishment.
"11:08pm September 21st, 2011 was the moment that America lost a piece of her
soul. Tonight America lost more of her innocence when she injected Troy Davis
with a lethal drug cocktail that took his life for the belief that he
was the person who murdered police officer, Mark MacPhail. Before I
continue with my thoughts, I want to express my deepest condolences to
the family of Mr. MacPhail, who not only lost their son, brother, father
and husband, but also have been unfairly tortured during the past twenty years."
