“Troy Davis Executed” – Was It A Legal Lynching?”

The ReadyWriter

Strapped to a gurney in Georgia’s death chamber, Troy Davis lifted his head and declared one last time that “he did not kill police officer Mark MacPhail”. Yet the state of GA still executed him and he was pronounced dead at 11:08 PM.

Davis was scheduled to die at 7 p.m., but the hour came and went as the U.S. Supreme Court apparently weighed the case and ultimately denied Troy Davis a stay.

Justice Clarence Thomas resides over the GA jurisdiction, so I knew Davis didn’t have a chance.

Outside the prison, a crowd of more than 500 demonstrators cried, hugged, prayed and held candles. They represented hundreds of thousands of supporters worldwide who took up the anti-death penalty cause as  Davis’ final days ticked away.

MacPhail’s family (the cop who was killed in 1989) was relieved, they feel justice has been served.

MacPhail’s mother, Anneliese MacPhail, said in a telephone in an interview from her home in Columbus, Ga. “All the feelings of relief and peace I’ve been waiting for all these years, they will come later. I certainly do want some peace.” She then dismissed Davis’ claims of innocence. “He’s been telling himself that for 22 years…You know how it is, he can talk himself into anything.”

The McPhail family was relieved and feel justice had been served? Yet killing Troy Davis will not bring their loved one back. Why kill Troy Davis? Why not let him live out his life in prison?

Davis’ execution had been halted three times since 2007 but on September 21, 2011 his fight for justice ended when he was executed however, his family has a long fight ahead as they continue the fight and Troy’s last wishes to find the truth in this case.

Troy Davis said to the prion officials about to take his life “May God have mercy on your souls”.

“Ratings For 2.5 Men Were High-But The Season Premier”

The ReadyWriter

Sucked!

“Two And A Half Men” destroyed ‘Dancing With The Stars’ in ratings but because of the show’s new leading man, Ashton Kutcher, who spent most of last night’s season premiere naked, proves that apparently sex sells.

Kutcher was hired after CBS fired Charlie Sheen after last season (and to think we assumed it was all a publicity stunt to boost ratings).

I did like the cameo appearances of John Stamos and Dharma (Jenna Elfman) & Greg (Thomas Gibsonas), I love that show. 

In last night’s season premiere, which drew  a record 27.7 million viewers, we learn that womanizer Charlie married his stalker neighbor, Rose. But just one day after his new wife found out Charlie cheated on her, he met an untimely death when he fell off a train platform and under an oncoming train.

I’m not being negative but I don’t think the new show without Sheen will last, so I’ll continue to watch the old shows including Sheen that’s in syndication.

Update:”Execution Delayed…Supreme Court To Review”

The ReadyWriter

It will take 5 Supreme Court judges to grant a “stay” in the Troy Davis Case…Stay tuned let’s see what happens.

Despite last-minute interventions by the US Supreme court, a Georgia parole board denied 42-year-old Troy Davis’ petition for clemency.

Davis’ attorneys have pleaded their client’s case to the parole board for years and then for three hours yesterday. Their argument is “Davis would be sent to death under an “enormous cloud of doubt” about his guilt.

Davis was convicted in 1991 of shooting police officer Mark MacPhail to death in Savannah, Georgia in 1989. MacPhail, who was working a second job as a security guard, was shot to death as he went to the aid of a homeless man being attacked by Davis and Sylvester “Redd” Coles in a parking lot.

MacPhail was shot in the heart and face by a black man in a white shirt, according to witnesses. The officer died instantly before he could draw his weapon. Davis was wearing a white shirt that night., however, there is little and/or no evidence to support his guilty verdict.

Earlier that day, Davis was involved in the shooting of another man during a road rage incident. That victim survived his injuries.

On August 19, Coles, went to police and implicated Davis in MacPhail’s killing. That same evening, one of Davis’ sisters drove Davis to Atlanta in an attempt to evade arrest.

Late Monday, Davis’ sister, Martina Correia, said the family was “just praying for a good outcome.”

“He’s guilty,” MacPhail’s widow, Joan MacPhail-Harris, said. “We need to go ahead and execute him.”

Calls for Davis to be spared execution have been made by numerous dignitaries, including former President Jimmy Carter, Pope Benedict XVI, former FBI Director William Sessions, former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Norman Fletcher and Larry Thompson, the former deputy U.S. attorney general. Davis’ advocates, including Amnesty International and the NAACP, have used social media to rally worldwide support. Last week, Davis’ supporters presented the parole board with the names of more than 663,000 people asking that Davis be granted clemency. Their efforts have been to no avail and fallen on deaf ears.

Davis is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 7 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson.

“Swizz Beatz Strikes A Deal With His Fourth Baby Mama”

The ReadyWriter

The 33-year-old Bronx-born producer, rapper and husband of Alicia Keys, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, recently struck an out-of-court settlement with UK-based singer Zhanna Andrianova, mother of his 3-year-old daughter Nicole.

Russian Andrianova, who performs under the name Jahna Sebastian, met Beatz in a London club in 2007, and their daughter was born in May 2008. In 2009, he traveled to London with Alicia Keys to take a paternity test that proved he was the little girl’s father.

Beatz who has four children by four different women, settled with Andrianova after a prolonged back-and-forth battle between their New York based lawyers, in which Beatz also agreed to pay her $42,000 legal fees as part of the settlement.

Sources say, that Beatz has been paying interim child support for his daughter with Andrianova, and the official settlement was delayed due to her being unable to travel to the US for court appearances, and her refusal to accept a settlement he offered a year ago.

Swizz who married Alicia Keys in July 2010 and gave birth to his 3rd son Egypt in October of that year, also has a son Prince Nasir, born in 2000, with Nicole Levy, and another son, Kasseem Dean Jr., born in 2006, with his former wife Mashonda Tifrere.

Woo that was exhausting!

“So Sarah Palin Is An Ole Sneaky ‘HO’ After all”

The ReadyWriter

A new book claims Sarah Palin and hoops star Glen Rice had a steamy love affair back in the day. The racy details are recounted in the highly anticipated book entitled “The Rogue: Searching for The Real Sarah Palin,” written by best-selling author Joe McGinniss.

The one-time Alaskan governor was more than a Tea Partier – smoking pot with a college professor and snorting cocaine on a snowmobiling trip. The book also details how Palin cheated on her husband Todd with his business partner back in the 90’s.

So not only is Palin an hypocritical ho, she apparently delved into a little tall black berry in her heyday.

There was no response from the Palin camp to any of the tales from the McGinniss book, due on bookshelves next week. Rice <–(pictured left) did not return calls for comment, although sources said Rice confirmed the romance he and Palin had to McGinniss.
