Thousands attend funeral of Troy Davis, executed for a crime advocates say he did not commit

Many attending the memorial for Troy Davis in Savannah, Georgia, wore t-shirts that said I am Troy Davis. "Troy... told us to keep on fighting until his name is finally cleared and Georgia admits what Georgia has done," Benjamin Jealous, NAACP president, said at the service. "Troy's last words were to keep on fighting until the death penalty is abolished and this (execution) can never be done to anyone else."
