The US Supreme Court has ordered that Troy Davis should be given a new hearing so that evidence not originally heard at his trial proves he is innocent.
The State of Georgia fought to the last to have the the appeal rejected. These people really want to kill this guy innocent or not. Two Conservative justices dissented they were Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
The US Supreme Court is to wait till after the summer recess before considering the habeas corpus petition of Troy Davis.
There is an urgent need to highlight Troy’s case and further bring to the attention of the court and to the Georgia authorities that Troy’s case is riddled with inconsistency and injustice.
To allow this system of punishment to continue makes murderers of us all.
