- Cut to the chase. On the night on which Troy Davis is
said to have killed a man named Mark MacPhail, a lady named Dorothy
was standing 'across the street' on the deck of a hotel. She was therefore
able to give eyewitness testimony, right?
-
- Nothing impeded her view, in the sense of there being
no trucks or trees in the way. She could "see clearly."
-
- Ah, well, it was at night. Maybe she had been into the
recipe, too. Maybe her eyesight is not 20/20. Still, though, a 'witness
across the street' would have quite an effect on a jury.
-
- If I were one of the jurors I'd have probably considered
her statement to be the clincher.
-
- So that was 1989 (when the murder was committed), and
the trial took place in 1991. Troy Davis was found guilty and sentenced
to death. Only later, years later, did the story start to unravel, bigtime,
when nearly all of the nine witnesses said they were coerced. Some have
given vivid descriptions of that coercion that I will not go into here.
The Supreme Court, no less, got to hear about all that and didn't raise
an eyebrow. So let's move to 'physical facts,' shall we?
-
- A picture is worth ten thousand words, or maybe a million
words. A cinematographer from the donkeysaddle project (a humble name but
a huge program she even went to Sudan to make a documentary) comes
along and asks Troy's sister to help 're-enact' the event in the parking
lot on that fateful night. (This is all on Youtube; that's where I got
it.)
-
- Happily for us, the cameraman and Martina chose a bright
day instead of a dark night. Martina stood in the section of the parking
lot in which the man got shot. The cameraman played the role of Dorothy
and stood at the appropriate spot on the deck of the hotel. And here you
have it. All you'll ever need to know about the OUTRAGEOUS matter of the
conviction of this prisoner.
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
- The top photo shows "little" Martina, but at
least you can see her; she's wearing a yellow half-coat and dark jeans.
The word on the picture is "Camera on medium zoom." But the real
Dorothy, of course, did not have a zoom thingie. She was bare-eyed. The
middle photo turns down the zoom, and now you can't even tell if Martina
is male or female, although you can make out that there is someone standing
there.
-
- And now for donkeysaddle's pièce de resistance:
the bottom photo. Can you see Martina?
-
- Liar! No one can see who it is. It may be Martina. It
may be a plastic bag blowing in the wind. I bet you cannot see anything
there at all.
-
- So, as to whether the person's identity that night were
Troy Davis, or Sylvester Coles, or Zsa Zsa Gabor, you would be in the dark.
Oh, speaking of dark, recall that the event was après minuit.
I imagine Burger King did provide sufficient lighting for customers to
find their cars, but not exactly floodlighting. Anyway floodlights would
only be as good as the sunlight here. And that AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH. No sir.
No siree Bob, Sir. No way in hell. Dorothy lied.
-
- Actually, Dorothy has already admitted lying. And admits
that she was in trouble for a shop-lifting charge at the time, and thus
had to do what cops 'advised.' And by the way, a member of the jury has
come out and said that if she had known Dorothy 'had issues' like
that she wouldn't have swallowed the bait. See? This case can't stand up
to a gentle breeze never mind a strong wind.
-
- But I haven't finished. Gotta find out who the police
turned to for the composition of the 'witness' statements. They really
are gems. Dorothy was told to say that the killer had a smirky smile. So
long as there was never a donkeysaddle type person interfering with the
narrative, that could actually fly. Why? Because it's so human. If I want
to make you despise someone I might very well tell you that, after he does
an evil deed, he smirks!
-
- I have been amassing such statements from cases that
are later revealed to be fake. This smirky smile thing is fabulous because
it shows how gullible we are. We didn't stop to say: Hey Wait a sec, the
prosecution just said that the motive for the murder was that Troy shot
the security guard (Mac Phail) because he, Troy, sensed trouble over his
(allegedly) having hit a homeless bloke.
-
- How does that square with smirking? Don't we normally
smirk when we have accomplished something we are proud of? Along the lines
of "Har, they said I couldn't pull it off but I did! smirk, smirk."
And how the Crikey does the smirky smile jibe with the story that Troy
was in the act of running away as he shot MacPhail? Please do a quick scan
of your whole life: have you ever run away and smirked at the same time?
-
- Shame, shame, shame on the 'justice system' for coming
up with these 'compositions.'
-
- I want to know exactly who wrote this one. It's a felony,
you know: obstruction of justice. We're talkin' jail time. But the person
who is really at fault, in my opinion, is me. And, sorry, thee. We have
got to be a bit smarter. Contact me and I'll show you my collection.
-
- Anyway, I fear they really are planning to execute Troy.
They did it to Tookie Williams, acting as there was some sort of force
pushing them to do it. Just look at these photos again. There Troy stands,
in the bottom shot do you see that, O Chief Justice of the United
States?
-
- Do you see that, O Prosecutor-on-Leave Robert Keller
of the Pardon Board? Got 20/20 vision? See that smirky smile? Got night
vision? Got a zoom lens built into your visual cortex? What can you be
thinking of, killing innocent Troy Davis? Pull yourself together, man,
this is America!

- If you don't want to contact her about the collection,
just go to the library and take out a book called American Assassins, sort
of a, you know, psychological analysis of people who shoot at presidents.
I promise you it is laugh-out-loud funny. Although the families of the
'assassins' probably don't find it so
