It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Actually it’s been awhile since I’ve had the time to post. My world has just been spinning madly for the last few weeks and any time that’s left after class, work, homework, and Amnesty International is for sleep. Which sadly is only about 4-5 hours a night.

Classes are going well, despite one bad first impression they’re all really great. RIC Amnesty International (hereby known as RICAI) kicked off the year with a totally successful Student Activities Day demonstration to obtain signatures to help save Troy Davis.

Troy Davis has been on Georgia Death Row for the last sixteen years for the murder of Office Mark MacPhail in Savannah. There is no physical evidence against Troy and the murder weapon was never found. The only case against Troy is witness testimony which has proved to be unreliable, as several of the witnesses came forth and gave signed affidavits stating they were coerced by police offices to accuse Troy.

Troy’s scheduled execution date is September 23, 2008. Five days from today.

Yesterday, RICAI rocked it and got 225 signatures in about an hour and a half. I am overnighting them via UPS to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles tonight. We don’t have much time, but that isn’t a reason to stop trying.

Other than that life is good. So busy I don’t even know what to do with myself. Anyway, it’s almost class time. Should go, see ya.
