Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.

Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.

In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.

In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
