Introduction

  Do you know a man called Troy Davis? He was a convict in death row in America. He was accused of murder, however the surprising fact that startled people all over the world was that there was no physical or concrete evidence indicating he was the murderer. The victim was shot, but no gun was found. Nevertheless, only based on 9 witness's testimony, he was found guilty and was sentenced to death because the state he was living adopted death penalty. 7 witnesses of them confessed that they were forced to testify, however the confession was too late. It was after Troy Davis's execution in 2011. Many people mourned for his death, for there was hope and possibility that he could have lived if he was not executed for a little more time or if the state didn't adopt death penalty. His death threw a heavy question about the modern society's policy which is death penalty. If he was an innocent man, he is a representative victim of the death penalty. Not only the victims that could be resulted by the mistakes made in the process of death penalty such as Troy Davis in this case, but adopting death penalty doesn't have enough advantages than not adopting it. Therefore, the death penalty is right to be and should be abolished.
