Wish Georgia death row inmate a happy birthday

Troy Davis was sentenced to death in Georgia in 1991 for a murder he says he didn’t commit. His conviction was based largely on the testimony of nine eyewitnesses – six of whom have recanted since his trial. This summer, he came within one day of execution before he was granted a 90-day stay. He then won the right to appeal his conviction by a 4-3 decision of the Georgia Supreme Court in August.

Davis turns 39 on October 9, and a coalition of his supporters is asking you to send him a video birthday message.
