If I were Troy Davis right now ...

... this is what I'd say to those about to kill me  -

Someday in time, perhaps in the not-too-distant future ...
... when the facts surrounding what really happened become known. ...
... they will confirm what I say here and now - and what
I've always stated - is correct.

That is - I didn't commit the crime for which I've been convicted of.
I'm an innocent man being put to death for something I didn't do. And that
the real killer is still out there.

It appears now - at this moment - that time will not arrive to save me.
But perhaps in the future, it will exonerate me.

And when that happens ... and when this becomes known ...
... when those who have asserted and insisted and fought to maintain this
injustice against me and the vicitim are finally found to be in error ...
... I can only hope that whatever deity they believe in ... grants them far more
mercy than I will have been granted here, now, and forever.
