How many shootings must you be involved in before it has nothing to do with the color your skin happens to be?
I think most people's issue is that the shooting which he was convicted of and sentenced to die for was that of a police officer.
Then after the trial 7 of the 9 people who testified later recanted their testimony. Several of those say they had been pressured by the police into making a statement or had a statement prepared for them by the police.

Not a Troy Davis supporter at all, but with such a great number of the prosection's witnesses changing their stories one would think that the courts might want to revisit the case. Especially as the prosecution never produced any tangible physical evidence to place the gun in his hands. It doesn't sound like like there's enough certainty in the testimony, in the light of such an irrevocable sentence.
