President Obama Tried To Save Troy Davis From Execution

ATLANTA, Sept. 26, 2011, 4 p.m. - President Obama candidly Friday took a little time to explain how he tried to save Troy Davis and why he did not say anything about his controversial execution, two sources told Redding News Review.

Obama's White House spent "three days" looking at how it could legally get involved in the case on a federal level, one source said. The Obama administration even called the state of Georgia about getting involved and were told "No". (Updated on Sept. 27 at 3 p.m. ET - The source said the president himself never called and was only concerned about an injustice, as he would do for any American).

"'We looked at every possible avenue legally,'" the source reported Obama said. "'There was not one there.'"

"'It was a state case and I could not intervene because it wasn't federal,'" another source reported Obama said.

    This just in! Correction from "the source:" "The source said the president himself never called and was only concerned about an injustice, as he would do for any AFRICAN-American)."

  3. well, seeing as we have multiple cases of massive breeches in the justice system i.e. wrongful convictions in capital punishment cases, especially in cases with minority defendants, don't you think all you constitution-loving, freedom touting conservatives would welcome oversight of the system.

  4. I think there should be more oversight. This execution made me a bit uncomfortable, unlike some others where I was sure the right person was executed. That being said, doesn't the President have the authority to pardon anyone? Why didn't he do that if he really felt this was a miscarriage of justice?

  5. 12:21, you must be listening to the LSM, 34 witnesses including air force personnel identified him as the killer. only two who were his friends actually change their stories! He got alot more time than the person he shot! this is the problem, justice should be swift for cold blooded killers like him!
