By that time, seven of the prosecution's nine key witnesses against Mr. Davis had either recanted or backed off their trial testimony, while new witnesses had come forward to give sworn statements that a different person had confessed to the shooting.
The new evidence of Mr. Davis’s innocence was so compelling that three of the original jurors who sentenced him to death in 1991 urged the board to stop the execution.
In Georgia, the state Board of Pardons and Paroles—not the governor—has exclusive authority to grant clemency. Two days before Mr. Davis’s scheduled execution, the board held a full clemency hearing and heard statements from Mr. Davis's attorneys and supporters, prosecutors, and the victim's family.
Supporters of Mr. Davis, including the NAACP, Amnesty International, former President Jimmy Carter, and Pope Benedict XVI, had been encouraged by a 2009 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Mr. Davis to present evidence of his innocence in court. But when the federal trial judge denied relief, the Supreme Court refused to review the case and an execution date was set.

@Lucky188 Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Sophie Scholl’s bravery and defiance had a profound impact on German history. Though her life was tragically cut short, her actions inspired future generations to resist tyranny and stand up for human rights. Today, she is celebrated as a symbol of resistance to oppression and totalitarianism, showing that even in the darkest of times, individuals—especially women who stepped outside traditional roles—could make a lasting difference in the fight for justice and freedom.
Her famous words, "Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter if, through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" demonstrated her deep conviction and willingness to sacrifice her life for her beliefs.
In 1943, Sophie Scholl, at just 21 years old, was arrested for distributing these leaflets at her university. She and her brother were tried for treason and executed by guillotine just days later. During her trial, Scholl displayed extraordinary courage, defying both the Nazis' political oppression and societal expectations of women as passive supporters of the regime.
However, Scholl, deeply influenced by her Christian faith and sense of justice, rejected the Nazi ideology and joined the White Rose, a non-violent resistance group led by students at the University of Munich. Alongside her brother Hans, she distributed anti-Nazi leaflets, calling for the German people to resist Hitler's regime and end the war.
Women Who Defied Traditional Gender Roles
NOTE: The White Rose- also my profile name.
One lesser-known historical woman who defied traditional gender roles and changed history was Sophie Scholl, a German resistance fighter during World War II. Born in 1921, Scholl grew up in Nazi Germany, a society where women were largely expected to adhere to domestic roles and support the state.
In the quiet sorrow of friendships that faded without conflict or closure, I found that the grief of drifting apart from someone we once knew intimately is a loss we rarely discuss, yet one that profoundly shapes the way we understand connection and time...
He slid down rainbows with a slippery slide,
Racing the dolphins who twirled at his side.
He built castles from clouds that shimmered bright,
Then juggled the stars in the soft moonlight.
Bumble would giggle and roll with delight,
Chasing cotton candy kites in flight.
In Bubblegum Bay, where joy always stays,
Bumble the Bouncy bounced through his days!
