DemocracyNow.org - We speak with three people who joined us for our special live broadcast on the night Troy Davis was executed in Jackson, Georgia, including his sister, Kimberly Davis. "This is a tough time both for me and my family, but as my brother said, he always wanted us to continue the fight and to keep the faith, and that's what we've been doing," Kimberly Davis says. As Texas executed its eighth prisoner of the year on Thursday, Californians are set to vote this November on abolishing capital punishment. We discuss the legacy of Troy Davis and how his case has fueled the anti-death penalty movement with NAACP President Benjamin Jealous and Laura Moye of Amnesty International USA. "We know that Troy Davis was not the first person who had not killed anybody to be put to death in this country, and he won't be the last," Jealous says. Moye also gives us an update on the case of Missouri death-row prisoner Reggie Clemons, whom many are comparing to Troy Davis.
