To garauntee the innocent are not convicted we allow the guilty to sometimes go free. (i.e. O.J. Simpson, Kayce Anthony). It’s not a perfect system, but it is the best system in the history of the world. It is hard for the common man to understand the reasoning behind this system, but for those of us who work within it, we realize that justice is not blind. The scales of justice are not balanced. The system is weighed in favor of the guilty to allow the innocent to go free. Officer MacPhail understood this and gave his life to defend it.

When a man is convicted his guilt is highly likely. No man will ever be sure. Anything is possible. But the system has given Mr. Davis every opprotunity and the system convicted him. No one man convicted him, but e…veryone who believes in the values of this country convicted Mr. Davis. And for this he will pay the ultimate price with his life. Just like this young officer who was working an extra job just to make a living for his young family. Where were the protesters then? Had they stood up for better pay and better treatment of their police officers this would have never occurred, because Officer MacPhail would not have been working “off-duty” to support his family, and his path would have not crossed with Troy Davis.

The protestors who defend Mr. Davis now, are the only ones guilty of failure, because had they been civily active earlier, in support of the very system they now oppose, the death of Officer MacPhail would not have occurred, and Mr. Davis would have never faced the grim reality of the dead penalty.

God Bless the family of Officer Mark MacPhail, may you find peace. May God have mercy on Troy Davis. Let the sentence be carried out, and know that there is no justice that man can deliver, only the resemblence of a justice that God will one day hand down on all men.
