The legal system not the justice system

Many of you have followed the case of brother Troy Davis; some have just recently gotten on the band wagon. I have never been supportive of the death penalty. I just don't believe life is in our hands like that. I'm betwixt because in a very extreme case such as a ruthless serial killer, maybe I can understand. But in a case where majority of the eyewitnesses change their stories, and suddenly there is doubt whether a man is free, I cannot understand why any human in their right mind would still go through with a sentence such as lethal injection. Then it hit me, they are NOT in their right mind. The whole system is backward. And some of us have no other choice but to play the race card in a world with such deep roots of racism, we can't help but make certain connections. It makes me think of this class that I'm taking in the M.A.T. program. We often go back to the issues of race and how it impacts education. I often wonder why we have to go back to to that, but on days like this it all makes sense. As I look at the face of brother Troy Davis, I can't help but wonder how old he is, what he did before all this happen, what are his final thoughts, and how will the supreme court dudes sleep tonight? In my front mind, I think there is no hope because no matter how far we think we come, we arrive to nights like this. But of course in my spirit, I know that there is still hope, if not for a better world, for a life of peace with God and life after this body is gone. Having said all this, I just had to get it off my chest, but my prayers are with the world tonight. Peace and God bless! (i didn't even proof-read so I hope there are not typos)
