Troy Davis Funeral Set For This Week And Witness Speaks Out "He's Innocent" [Video]

Troy Davis funeral is being held today:

A funeral service is set for Saturday morning for Troy Davis, a convicted cop killer who was executed despite pleas by many that he was actually innocent.

The funeral service at Jonesville Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia, is being billed by organizers as a celebration of Davis’ life.

Ministers, activists and NAACP President Ben Jealous are among those scheduled to speak at the event. The event is open to the public.

Davis was put to death by lethal injection last week for the 1989 killing of an off-duty police officer in Savannah.

His case had drawn international attention because of the many critics who thought Davis was innocent.

The case had been battled in many courtrooms before his execution. A jury and several judges on appeal determined that Davis killed Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989.

Spencer Lawton, Davis’ prosecutor, has said the case withstood every legal challenge but couldn’t win the battle of public opinion.

Former President Jimmy Carter, who along with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pope Benedict XVI was among the most influential voices calling for clemency, said as much in his statement after Davis’ lethal injection.

“If one of our fellow citizens can be executed with so much doubt surrounding his guilt, then the death penalty system in our country is unjust and outdated. We hope this tragedy will spur us as a nation toward the total rejection of capital punishment,” Carter wrote.
