The funeral of Georgia activist Martina Correia, the older sister of former death row prisoner Troy Davis, will be held tomorrow morning in her home town of Savannah, Georgia. She passed away on December 1 after a more than decade-long battle with breast cancer. She was 44 years old. At the same time as she fought to save her own life, Correia struggled valiantly to save that of her brother’s. Davis was executed by the state of Georgia on September 21 despite major doubts about the case, including the recantation of seven of the nine non-police witnesses.
