Former judge and FBI Chief/director under Reagan, Bush the 1st, and Clinton called for a halt to execution citing possible faults in his conviction

The execution of Troy Davis, a Georgia death row inmate scheduled to die in less than a week, should be halted because of "pervasive, persistent doubts" about his guilt, said William S. Sessions, a former federal district judge in Texas and FBI director under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, in a sharply-worded editorial on Thursday.

"Serious questions about Mr. Davis' guilt, highlighted by witness recantations, allegations of police coercion, and a lack of relevant physical evidence, continue to plague his conviction," Sessions wrote. He urged a state pardons board to commute the sentence to life in prison.

what the fuck?

first off- what do any of the executions this week have to do with the original topic?

now let's look at the infamous brutal hate crime committed against James Byrd in Jasper Texas in 1998

Along a lonely country road in East Texas, something horrible happened. And yet, the man who’s facing execution for the crime still says he didn’t commit murder, and that he was just going along with friends for a ride. He said that he wouldn’t do anything differently.


“As far as any regrets, no, I have no regrets,” Brewer says. “No, I’d do it all over again, to tell you the truth.”


The savage killing of James Byrd Jr shook the conscience of the nation, reviving America’s nightmarish legacy of lynching and racially motivated violence. One hot night in June 1998, a trio of young men driving along a country road near Jasper offered Byrd a ride. Instead, they beat him, chained his ankles to the back of their pick-up truck and dragged him for more than two miles.



Byrd tried to prop himself up by his elbows, but they were sheared to the bone. As the driver swerved from side to side to bounce Byrd across the road, the asphalt tore away parts of his body. His agony ended when he slammed into a culvert and he was beheaded.



His killers left what was left of his torso alongside the road near a cemetery. Then they drove home and went to bed.
Deputies quickly arrested Brewer, John William King and Shawn Berry and charged them with capital murder. And the quiet town of Jasper suddenly was besieged by everyone from FBI agents to news reporters to race-baiting protesters.



All three of the killers were convicted in separate trials. King, a belligerent ex-con who wrote rambling essays about inciting racial warfare, was considered the leader of the murderous pack; he was sentenced to die. So was Brewer, another ex-con who covered his body with ghastly, racist tattoos. Berry, whom even prosecutors admitted was not a racist, escaped the executioner’s needle and was sentenced to life in prison.


Now, Brewer becomes the first to face execution on Wednesday evening. He still asserts his innocence, repeating his story that he looked out of the pick-up truck’s back window and watched Berry cut Byrd’s throat.
“That’s all I could see, whenever I looked out the sliding glass window in the truck, was Sean bending over at a pair of ankles,” he said.


But his alibi falls apart when compared to the physical evidence, according to Billy Rowles, the retired sheriff who investigated the murder.
“There was absolutely no throat cut,” Rowles said. “Wasn’t even scratches on the throat where a knife had done it.”


Oddly enough, as his hours on death row tick to a close, Brewer says he supports the death penalty. Even though he asserts his innocence, he claims he’s ready for his case to finally come to a close.
