"Funeral held for executed prisoner" by Associated Press / October 2, 2011
SAVANNAH - More than 1,000 family members and supporters gathered in Georgia yesterday to say farewell to Troy Davis, who insisted even until his execution that he was innocent. Davis, 42, was executed Sept. 21 for the 1989 slaying of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. The funeral was also attended by Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International, and comedian and activist Dick Gregory. The Rev. Raphael Warnock, pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached, delivered the eulogy."
