The following concerns a death penalty case in Georgia in which new evidence exonerates the accused killer of a police officer. Troy Davis remains in prison after 18 years and still might be executed. Amnesty International is trying to intervene, which is the topic of the following message and linked video. Dear All, In a fantastic collaboration between AI and the indie rock group, State Radio, we have produced an animated web video on the Troy Davis case that can be viewed at: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPHNsFqb8M&eurl=http://takeaction.amnestyus a.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=2590179&template=x.ascx&a ction=1&feature=player_embedded> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPHNsFqb8M&eurl=http://takeaction.amnestyusa .org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=2590179&template=x.ascx&ac tion=1&feature=player_embedded We'd be deeply grateful, if you could the following: 1) Watch the video 2) Disseminate it as WIDELY as possible to other groups, friends, and family; link it to any social networking sites you may belong to; GET IT OUT THERE! 3) Take action and ask Governor Perdue to demonstrate leadership and prevent this miscarriage of justice Attached, please also find a press release that accompanied the rollout of this video. Currently, we are working out details for State Radio's possible involvement in this year's Annual General Meeting, taking place March 27-29 in Boston. We will have more information on the AGM section of the website ( <http://www.aiusa.org/agm> www.aiusa.org/agm) as things get confirmed. We are anxiously awaiting the court's response to the latest round of arguments in Troy's case that could be handed down at any moment. So the fate of Troy Davis is still very much in limbo. We need you to continue rallying support by spreading this video of Troy's story any way that you can.
