NCADP Director Diann Rust-Tierney Reflects on Georgia and Troy Davis

“The Georgia that ushered in the modern experiment of capital punishment in 1976 has now crossed a line that people on both sides of the debate thought was a bright line of protection. It matters whether the person being put to death is guilty of the crime for which he or she is sentenced to die. And when there is doubt about guilt, the death penalty is always the wrong decision.

By crossing this threshold the state of Georgia may yet have made its most important and noble contribution to this nation’s 35-year death penalty saga. September 21, 2011 at 11:08 pm, the moment when Troy Davis was executed, will likely be remembered as the moment when the catalytic spark for ending the death penalty once and for all was struck.”  Diann Rust-Tierney of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NCADP) wrote these words as the concluding statement of a recent reflection in the Huffington Post.

In the article, Rust-Tierney recalls the centrality of Georgia in the history of this country’s death penalty and the unresponsiveness of the system to the concerns of millions of people who believed that enough doubt existed for Davis’ life to be spared. 

In the wake of Davis’ death, it is time for those of us who recognize that the death penalty system in Georgia, Tennessee, and around this nations is broken beyond repair to step up our efforts to highlight the problems and educate the public about the grave risk of executing innocent people.

TADP will alert you to upcoming events and opportunities to learn more and to get involved in the struggle.

Two Innocent Men Exonerated

Last week, Kenneth Kagonyera and Robert Wilcoxson were exonerated after spending over a decade on prison facing possible death sentences.

According to the Asheville Citizen-Times, the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission ruled that there was sufficient evidence to overturn their 2000 second-degree murder charges in the slaying of Walter Rodney Bowman. North Carolina is the only state to have an innocence commission in order “to prevent and address wrongful convictions and grant greater access to biological evidence.”

Kagonyera and Wilcoxson maintained their innocence throughout, but only pleaded guilty after being threatened with the death penalty. An attorney working closely on this case pointed out that “along with executing an innocent person, coercing a guilty plea with the threat of lethal injection underscores the terrific risk associated with having a death penalty.” This case is a reminder that the only absolute way to ensure there are no more wrongful executions is to abolish the death penalty altogether.
