Update on Travis

The man who was scheduled to be executed in Georgia today was granted a last-minute 90 day stay of execution after impassioned pleas for clemency by many supporters.

Thank God.

Here is the update.

And a moving speech delivered on Mr. Travis's behalf by John Lewis.


90 days only means that he has 90 more days to live, unless Mr. Travis is granted clemency or his sentence is commuted. Please write in or do something (here is a good site) if, after reading the story, you feel compelled to do so. The facts of this case, just do not seem to warrant death for this man. Besides which, I do not believe that the death penalty is just, but that's the subject for another entry.

Please pray.
