| Court Ruling Backs Ecuadorian Effort to Hold Chevron Accountable For Amazon Oil Pollution | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 20 Sep 2011 www.DemocracyNow.org - A U.S. appeals court has ruled oil giant Chevron cannot escape an $18 billion fine for massive pollution of the Amazon rain forest. Amazonian residents won the damages in an Ecuadorian court earlier this year, and Chevron says it will appeal the decision. It is the latest development in a complex, 18-year legal battle that has gone before judges not just in Ecuador and the United States, but also the Hague. Democracy Now! speaks with Atossa Soltani, executive director of Amazon Watch, which has worked closely with the Amazon residents suing Chevron. Atossa Soltani is in New York City this week to draw attention to environmental causes in the Amazon in conjunction with two major gatherings, the Clinton Global Initiative and the United Nations General Assembly. | |

| Troy Davis Set To Be Executed On Wednesday After Georgia Pardons Board Denies Clemency - with Jesse Jackson | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 20 Sep 2011 www.DemocracyNow.org - Shortly before the Democracy Now! live broadcast ended on Sept. 20, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles announced it rejected clemency for Troy Anthony Davis. The Board has the sole authority to stay the execution under Georgia state law. Davis is now set to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Davis was convicted for the 1989 killing of an off-duty white police officer. Since then, seven of the nine non-police witnesses have recanted their testimony, and there is no physical evidence tying Davis to the crime scene. Amnesty International, the NAACP and numerous other groups have called for clemency. Former FBI Director William Sessions is among those calling for a closer examination of whether Davis is guilty, joining a list that includes Pope Benedict XVI, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We speak with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader and founder of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, who has been a vocal supporter of the campaign to spare Davis's life. Democracy Now! also speaks with Mary Schmid Mergler, senior counsel for the Constitution Project's Criminal Justice Program, who assembled statements from a former Georgia Supreme Court Justice, congressman and prosecutors — as well as a former Texas governor, who urged the Supreme Court, and now the Georgia pardons board, to halt Davis' execution and commute his death sentence to life in prison. | |

| Story of Troy Davis: Last-Minute Halt to Execution Failed | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 21 Sep 2011 www. DemocracyNow.org - The State of Georgia is preparing to execute Troy Anthony Davis in one of the most high-profile executions in the United States in years.
