Troy Davis was convicted of murder and sentenced to the death penalty. Is there a chance that he possibly might not have done it? Yes, but he was convicted. The Christian pastor in Iran may be executed for being a Christian or for possibly changing religions. Those Iranian government officials and religious leaders sure are a just group of people.

Jauronimo Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I bet if the Christian pastor were black this would get media coverage. Happy?

He's going to be convicted regardless. His prior status is going to determine the severity of his penalty.
