Last night, the nation watched emotionally as the 4-hour deliberation on Davis’ life took place. The decision was made and at 10:53PM the lethal injection process took place, Troy Davis was pronounced dead at 11:08PM. Here’s what his sister said about her brother as she reflected on the murder.

“Our last moments were joyous. My brother was giving us charge as to what he wanted us to do, telling us to hold our heads up, telling my nephew to continue to be all that he could be… My niece was showing him her ballet shoes and telling him to stand on his tippy toes like a ballerina,” said Kimberly Davis from her Savannah, Ga., home.

“When we left my brother yesterday, my brother told us to hold our heads up and be strong because if the state of Georgia did succeed in executing him, they would only take his physical body and not his soul,” she said, crying at times. “My brother said he only wanted to be a free man and right now, he is free.”

Davis’ last words:

“I’d like to address the MacPhail family. Let you know, despite the situation you are in, I’m not the one who personally killed your son, your father, your brother. I am innocent.”
