Troy Davis was executed tonight by lethal injection at 11:08pm (EST) for the 1989 murder of Savannah, Georgia police officer Mark MacPhail.

His final words before he was execiuted was, "The incident that night was not my fault. I did not have a gun. I did not personally kill your son, father or brother. I am innocent. Look deeper into this case, so you can really find the truth. For those who are about to take my life, may god have mercy upon your souls and may god bless your souls."
