TROY ANTHONY DAVIS

To take a mans life and then say 'ooph's', sorry you were innocent after his death makes his executors murderers themselves. 

Justice is meant to be for all men. 

Justice is a hope for Troy, not a certainty.

There is much law, many lawyers, judges and they play men's lives in the theatre of a court room, but there is little honest justice.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE MAKES THE WORLD BLIND
(Ghandi)
