Judge Mathis Speaks Out About Troy Davis, Says Georgia Has “blood on its hands”
I usually have no interest in hearing what these T.V. show judges have to say, but Judge Mathis’ statement about Troy Davis’ “unjust” death is definitely something important to watch. He explains how the U.S. justice system is broken and what our nation needs to do in order to fix the problem. I give Judge Mathis a lot of credit for doing this. A lot of judges and important people in the legal system often sit back and never speak up for they think is wrong because they are afraid of what might happen. See what he had to say after the jump!
