Who Was Troy Davis?   by Gene Lalor

A sadistic murderer was executed on Wednesday. He deserved his execution for showing a blatant disregard for human life.

However, I’m not referring there to Troy Anthony Davis but to Lawrence Russell Brewer who dragged to death James Byrd, Jr. on a Texas road in June, 1998. He and Davis met the same fate of lethal injection, Brewer for using a pickup truck to kill, Davis for using a gun.

Both were very deserving and, in answer to the title question, Troy Davis was a murderer.

Brewer exhausted the usual appeals process although no one had protested the evils of capital punishment or contested the fairness of his trial on his behalf. He had no final statement other than a single tear.

Davis pulled out all stops enabling him to escape his just due for a decade longer than Brewer and had become a popular icon before he succumbed to the fatal brew of a barbiturate, paralytic agent, and potassium solution meant to send him blissfully to the Great Beyond. He declared his innocence to the bitter end.

If it means anything, Brewer was white, Davis was an African-American.

Based on all the blue tee shirts emblazoned with the words “I Am Troy Davis” outside Georgia courthouses, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles and, ultimately, the Georgia State Prison near Reidsville, it would seem there were many Troy Davises but in actuality there was only one and he was a murderer as surely as was Lawrence Russell Brewer.

Davis was convicted on August 19th, 1989 by a jury of his peers on a number of charges including shooting and killimg police officer Mark MacPhail and he was executed 22 years later on September 21st, 2011, the same date as Brewer’s execution.

End of story? Not quite.

Davis’ case is reminiscent of that of Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, another convicted cop killer who has been on Pennsylvania’s death row for almost a quarter century and who also became an international cause célèbre and for the same reasons: questions as to the equity of capital punishment, whether he received a fair trial, and whether he is guilty.

Mumia Abu-Jamal either has better lawyers or his supporters have been more vocal than Davis’ since Abu-Jamal is still alive-and writing books!-and Troy Davis isn’t.

Let’s just dispense with the death penalty controversy since executing convicted murderers has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. As for the fairness of his trial and his guilt, those issues were settled long ago.

Prosecutors called thirty four witnesses, some eyewitnesses, to the stand, the defense called six. Davis’ jury consisted of seven blacks and only five whites. His conviction was upheld in various courts, even after SCOTUS, based on alleged new evidence, ordered an evidentiary hearing last year. Clemency appeals were rejected by both the state of Georgia and none other but his fellow African-American, President Barack Hussein Obama.

However, none of that matters when Big Guns such as Amnesty International, the NAACP, and a slew of celebrities latch onto a cause and especially because of that “new evidence,” namely some seven witnesses oddly recanting their testimony after swearing under oath at trial to tell the truth under penalty of perjury.

More objective observers than Amnesty International, the NAACP, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Al Sharpton, Jimmy Carter, Pope Benedict XVI, et al. have proven those recantations were a crock.

Erick Erickson on RedState.com pointed out that three eyewitnesses, members of the Air Force, seemed to have better memories than the recanters and didn’t alter their positive identification of Davis as Officer MacPhail’s murderer. As one said, “You don’t forget someone that stands over and shoots someone.”

Well, yes and no. A few who recanted, including Davis homies, had an amazing failure of recollection, sort of.

One of the seven who were miraculously able to reinterpret what they witnessed twenty one years earlier claimed he wasn’t sure now whether Davis shot MacPhail despite the fact he had been standing five feet away. Another, Davis’ now deceased girlfriend, simply repeated her testimony at his trial during which she had cited him as the shooter.

Most damning is that “Only two of the seven . . . actually recanted anything of value-and those two affidavits were discounted by the court because Davis refused to allow the affiants to testify at the post-trial evidentiary hearing.” (http://bit.ly/ntBbVI)

Something smells about the execution of Troy Davis. Indeed, a lot smells and none of the stench is emanating from his trials or his convictions. The stink is rooted in a blind defense of a man who was clearly and multiply identified as the killer of Mark MacPhail, a married father of two, predicated on media hype and/or misguided intentions.

The rectitude of the death penalty aside, if any men merited execution, they were Lawrence Russell Brewer and Troy Anthony Davis. The fact that the spectre of race played a major part in the demonstrations seeking to overturn Davis’ fair and just conviction and sentence only contributes to a spreading sense that justice in President Obama’s America should be meted out on a racial basis.

If and when Mumia Abu-Jamal gets what’s coming to him, it will be some reassurance that justice still prevails in our country.

…Last Meal $12.95 A book of more than 40 photographs, Jacquelyn C. Black has created a powerful work focused on death row inmates and what they chose as their last meal before being executed. Combined with last words of the condemned, each left and right set of pages features a photo of the person and what they ate. Focused on inmates in Texas, among the photos and meals is that of Karla Faye Tucker.Some apologize for their crimes. Others cling to a claim of innocence. Background information such as education level and job at the time of arrest is often included, making the book an eerily disturbing work. Information about the death penalty is sprinkled through the book, from statistics on countries with the highest number of executions (the U.S. ranks third, ahead of Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia); to the statistic that 12 states do not have the death penalty; and that 10 of those have homicide rates below the national average.The sparse nature of the statistics and text leaves the photos of last meal to create a powerful emotional reaction.Jacquelyn C. Black grew up in Louisiana, Texas, and Tampa, Florida. She went to school at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her work has been exhibited in Boston and at the Alternative Museum in New York City where she currently resides and works as a freelance photographer.

A Life in the Balance $4.34 In 1965, at the age of twenty, Billy Wayne Sinclair unintentionally killed a man in a bungled convenience store hold-up. Quickly tried and convicted, he was sentenced to death and spent the next seven years on death row. In 1972, his sentence was commuted to life. Sinclair has spent his time in prison trying to improve the heinous conditions. At great personal risk, he was instrumental in integrating Angola State Prison. Working with the FBI, he exposed a pardon-for-sale scheme, resulting in jail terms for high prison officials and indictment on bribery charges for four-term Louisiana Governor Edward Edwards. And yet he is still behind bars. Like Malcolm X before him, Billy Wayne studied and became a jailhouse lawyer. Sinclair is an accomplished writer: he became the co-editor of The Angolite, America’s foremost prison magazine, for which he won the PEN award, the Robert F. Kennedy journalism award, and the Silver Gavel from the American Bar Association. This is a first-person, no-holds-barred account of life inside America’s worst prison system. As a memoir, this is both a heartbreaking story of the legacy of child abuse and a truly inspirational tale of love and redemption: coauthor Jodie Sinclair met and fell in love with Billy, and a year later they were married by proxy. Billy Wayne Sinclair is still a prisoner in Angola State Prison. His wife and coauthor Jodie Sinclair is the public relations director of Downtown Houston, Texas, and resides in Houston.

Three-and-a-half decades later, Billy Wayne is still behind bars — feared by many politicians and prison officials for his well-known incorruptibility and unrelenting crusade for prison reform.This is his unvarnished memoir. It begins with an almost unbearable account of his early years, then takes us behind the harsh metal doors of Angola State Penitentiary to reveal the brutal truth of life inside: corruption, betrayal, rape, and murder.

A Saint on Death Row $14 Bestselling author Thomas Cahill tells the absorbing, heartbreaking tale of the hard life and tragic death of Dominique Green–wrongly accused, then executed in Huntsville, Texas–and shines a light on our racist and deeply flawed criminal justice system. Green, an extraordinary young man from the urban ghettos of Houston, was utterly failed by every echelon of society–the Catholic Church, numerous U.S. courts of law, and even his own mother. But from the depths of despair on Death Row, he transcended his earthly sufferings and achieved enlightenment and peace, inciting an international movement against the death penalty and inspiring his personal hero, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to plead publicly for mercy. A Saint on Death Row is an unforgettable, sobering, and deeply spiritual account that illuminates the moral imperatives too often ignored in the headlong quest for judgment.

Black Rage Confronts the Law $23.91 Any lawyer who deals within the Black community needs to read it. –New York Amsterdam News Within Harris’s reasoned, cogent analysis lurks a legal strategy tethered to the nation’s tattered and perennial traditions of white supremacy, which aims to acknowledge it, use it to explain its devastating effects on the black psyche, and provide a legal tool for some degree of amelioration. Ultimately, Black Rage Confronts the Law is more about U. S. power relations than law. Therefore, it will be damned. Therefore, it will be praised.

Boogaloo: The Quintessence of American Popular Music $22.11 Boogaloo–the synonym of choice among the cognoscenti for rhythm and blues–is a stylish and profound meditation on the art, influence, and commerce of black American popular music. At once deeply knowing and keenly observant, Arthur Kempton reveals the tensions between the sacred and the profane at the heart of soul music, and the complex centrality of Aframericans in the evolution of our mass musical culture. What that culture is all about, who owns it, and who gets paid–these are issues of moment in his epic narrative. Kempton brilliantly traces the interconnections among a century’s worth of signal personalities, events, and achievements: from Thomas A. Dorsey, the so-called Father of Gospel Music, whose career ( Got to Know How to Work Your Show ) sheds light on Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown, among others, to the rise of that handsome Negro lad, Sam Cooke (perhaps the greatest of soul singers) and his definitive crossover dreams; from Berry Gordy Jr.’s infatuation with Doris Day and his sharp business plan to capture and exploit the sounds of young America through Motown ( It’s What’s in the Grooves That Counts ) to the founding of Stax Records and Memphis Soul by a white farm kid who grew up dreaming of being a country fiddler; from the visionary funk of George Clinton to the ascendancy of hip hop ( Sharecropping in Wonderland ), the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, and the story of Death Row Records. Boogaloo is a monumental work, informed by a rare fierceness of intellect, which debunks many a myth and canard about our popular music heritage even as it enlarges our understanding of its quintessence.

Capital Consequences: Families of the Condemned Tell Their Stories $29.18 Those who support capital punishment often claim that they do so because it provides justice and closure for the victims’ families. In Capital Consequences, attorney Rachel King reminds us that there are other families and other victims who must be considered in the debate over the death penalty. Combining a narrative voice with vivid, passionate, and painful accounts of the families of death row inmates, the book demonstrates that crimes that lead to death sentences also devastate the families of those convicted. These families, King argues, are the unseen victims of capital punishment. King challenges readers to question the morality of a punishment that victimizes families of the condemned and ripples out through future generations. Chapters tell the stories of families that have lost life savings supporting an accused loved one, endured intense public scrutiny, been subjected to harassment by the media, and are struggling to live with the inhumane treatment that their loved ones receive on death row. The author also explores the unique nature of the grief that these families suffer. Because their pain tends to elicit less attention and empathy than that of the crime victims’ families, King shows how it becomes much more desperate and isolating. On a human level, this book is a powerful reminder that tragic events have tragic consequences that far outreach their immediate victims. At the same time, the accounts illustrate many of the flaws inherent in the judicial system–racial and economic bias, incompetent counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, the execution of juveniles, and wrongful convictions, some of which are only now being overturned because of recent advances in DNAtechnology. Regardless of which side of the death penalty issue you are on, this book will lead you to pause and consider that all acts–criminal and retributive–have broader human implications than we are sometimes willing to realize.

Cell 2455, Death Row $15.95 In June 1948, 27-year-old petty criminal Caryl Chessman was sentenced in California on two counts of sexual assault, receiving two death sentences as punishment in a case that remains one of the most baffling episodes in American legal history.

Chessman’’s clarity of mind and ability to bring his thoughts directly to the page, even within the stifling walls of San Quentin, help make this work the most literate and authentic expose ever written by a criminal about his crimes.

Crime & Criminals: Address to the Prisoners in the Cook County Jail & Other Writings on Crime & Punishment $12.24 Darrow’s Crime & Criminals, originally published by Charles H Kerr in 1902, is not only one of the greatest works by the greatest attorney in US history, it is also a little masterpiece in the literature of social criticism and the struggle for freedom. In a few pages radiant with the forceful eloquence and dry humor for which he was so justly renowned, Darrow offers the man in the street – or more precisely in this case, in jail – a crash course in the theory and practice of law and criminology. He discusses what crime is, what causes it, why more people go to jail in winter than in summer, why the real criminals almost never go to prison, why punishment doesn’t work, and – in the end – why the US criminal justice system is in fact a system of injustice, a colossal and barbaric failure.

Dead Wrong $41.04 Polls indicate that 75 percent of Americans favor the death penalty–but they also show that minds change when individuals are confronted with the facts. This book was written to offer those facts-and to change those minds. The United States is alone among Western democracies in its support for capital punishment, which was only briefly abolished throughout this country between 1972 and 1976. Today, 38 states have some form of capital punishment. Yet studies show that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime, that racial disparities in the implementation of capital punishment are rampant, and that all kinds of procedural errors, incompetent defense lawyers, and mistaken eyewitness identifications lead to an alarming number of wrongful convictions. Attitudes toward the death penalty have changed dramatically throughout the course of history, evolving from times when public executions were occasions of solemn and pious ritual to those when it was an excuse for raucous entertainment, and finally to the modern era of private, bureaucratized, mechanized, and sanitized executions conducted out of sight and out of mind. Conforming thus to modern sensibilities, state-sanctioned killing is somehow more acceptable to us than public hangings, because we can imagine that the inmate’s death is relatively painless, and not in violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. This may or may not be true; Stack presents compelling arguments to the contrary. What is certain is that Dead Wrong demonstrates beyond a doubt that death row is itself a form of psychological torture and of slow, painful dehumanization.

Dead Wrong: A Death Row Lawyer Speaks Out Against Capital Punishment $12.83 After fourteen years as a death row lawyer in Florida, Michael Mello has seen enough. Dead Wrong is a candid and compelling account of his decision to withdraw from the machinery of death – the American capital punishment system. Telling stories of cases he worked on – including those of confessed serial killer Ted Bundy and of Crazy Joe Spaziano, wrongly convicted but still on death row after twenty years – Mello provides an inside view of death row lawyering as no one has done before. He describes how he and others fought to make the post-conviction system work, ensuring inmates the right to a fair appeal. Alternately impassioned, angry, and haunted by the victims, crimes, and criminals, Mello draws us into the legal maze of appeals, death warrants, stays of execution, and executions. Though Mello is unflinching in his recognition of the brutal realities of capital crimes, his book is a powerful indictment of the death penalty enterprise in America. He is appalled at the lack of vigilance in a system that routinely punishes guilty and innocent alike. And, practicing in Florida, he saw the state’s death penalty cost to taxpayers rise to an estimated average $3.2 million per execution – six times the average cost of life imprisonment.

Death Penalty $35.93 This book debates arguments for and against capital punishment. It looks at key questions, such as whether the death penalty is applied unfairly to minorities and the poor, whether the death penalty deters crime, and whether innocent people have ever been wrongly executed.

Death Work $215.86 This text is a frank and unsettling look at the consequences of the death penalty in the United States. The author takes the reader on a compelling, step-by-step journey through the world of American executions, from the prisoners who spend years on death row to the prison staff who guard the condemned and the people who are executioners. Utilizing both ethnographic and quantitative research, this book creates a dramatic presentation of all sides of this controversial topic..

Deathwork $19.95 Legal cases are stories, and some of the most compelling — and the most disturbing — are those that take place on death row: the innocent man executed, juveniles and the mentally ill condemned to die, a smoking electric chair, a napping defense attorney, a senile hit man. These are the stories in which Michael Mello, as a capital public defender, played a crucial role, and they are the cases that make up Deathwork, a moment-by-moment, behind-the-scenes look at the life and work of a death row lawyer and his clients.Part memoir, part legal casebook, Deathwork offers a gritty, often anguishing picture of what Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun called the American legal machinery of death. The stories Mello tells raise questions about legal issues — from prosecutorial misconduct to the racial inequities of sentencing, from the rules of evidence to the rights of the mentally ill — that here take on a life-and-death urgency. They describe in detail how constitutional issues are raised postconviction, and how those issues are adjudicated by the courts and in accordance with bizarre claims of objectivity. And they show, with a painful immediacy and authenticity, what it is like to live and work under an impending death sentence, the adrenaline rush of the stay or unexpected success, the inconsolable sadness upon the execution of the sick, the afflicted, the innocent.As DNA reversals, last-minute confessions, and revelations of corruption are bringing capital punishment to the forefront of public debate nationwide, this firsthand account of the legalities and realities of the death penalty is as relevant as it is enthralling, as edifying as it is impossible to ignore.

Dr. Dre $31.61 It is almost impossible to listen to a current hip-hop song that does not bear Dr. Dre’s influence. With innovations in style that started with the hip-hop group N.W.A., and, later, as a solo rapper and producer, Dre’s influence and lasting impact on hip-hop music and culture is undeniable. He pioneered a new style of music that in the early 1990s would come to be known as gangsta rap, and his proteges – Snoop and Eminem – are both considered some of the top rappers to have emerged since rap was born on the streets of New York three decades ago. This biography traces Dre’s rise to fame, a story that parallels the rise of hip-hop as one of the most dominant cultural forces in America. Dre came of age at the time when hip-hop culture (rapping, breakdancing, Deejaying, and Graffiti art) began an underground trend in urban America. Chapters take the reader from Dre’s childhood in Los Angeles through his friendships, early influences, and the birth of his music career. Also discussed is the tragic tale of Death Row Records, which culminates in the high-profile murders of rap artists Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. and serves as a lesson on what can go wrong when people in the rap business believe their own gangsta hype. Dre’s ability to survive in the rough-and-tumble rap industry is a testament to the power of artistic vision and the payoff of sheer persistence. Students interested in the history of hip hop music and culture will find this biography essential reading. A timeline highlights significant events in Dre’s life and career. A bibliography provides biographical sources, reviews, interviews, critical articles, and related Web site information.
