SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP)—Troy Davis’ sister said Friday she’s not wasting time being angry as she presses to keep the 20-year legal fight her brother lost when he was executed. He used his final words in Georgia’s death chamber to insist he wasn’t a killer.

“We're going to keep moving forward,” Martina Correia told The Associated Press. “That’s what my brother would have wanted us to do, not be angry and wallow and those kinds of things.”

And though he didn't say it directly, for a second term, too.

ATLANTA (AP)—Capital punishment critics are regrouping after the execution of Georgia inmate Troy Davis, trying to figure out the best way to harness the anti-death penalty sentiment the case created. Among the goals: get new like-minded people registered to vote.

“Tell them to get engaged in the political process because that’s where change is going to come,” said Helen Butler, executive director of the Atlanta-based Coalition For The Peoples' Agenda.
