Sister of Georgia Death Row Prisoner Troy Anthony Davis Leads Campaign to Save His Life

Sister of Georgia Death Row Prisoner Troy Anthony Davis Leads Campaign to Save His Life

Martina Correia joins us to talk about the case of her brother, Troy Anthony Davis. Davis has been on death row since 1991 for a murder he says he did not commit. With no physical or DNA evidence or a murder weapon, the prosecutor’s case rested entirely on eyewitness testimony. But seven of the nine non-police witnesses said they were coerced by police and have since recanted their testimony. Nine witnesses have also implicated another man in the murder. Georgia’s Supreme Court will hear arguments next month on whether Davis should get a new trial. [includes rush transcipt]
