Emotions Fill The Crowd In Georgia

The man who is explaining the execution keeps his eye line down. I am no expert but I believe I see some shame. 

What do you see? Respond at @thephilbosco.

The execution came less than an hour after the U.S. Supreme Court announced it was denying a request for a stay in the case that had drawn global attention and compelled hundreds of demonstrators - including activistAl Sharpton and rapper Big Boi of OutKast - to gather outside the facility southeast of Atlanta.

Davis, 42, was convicted in 1991 for the 1989 shooting death of Savannah, Ga., police officer Mark MacPhail. The NAACP, Amnesty International USA, celebrities, elected officials and people around the world had rallied around Davis, pointing out that several witnesses from the original trial had signed affidavits recanting their testimony implicating Davis. But MacPhail's family has maintained they believe Davis committed the crime and they trust the testimony from the trial.
