The Supreme Court will continue to consider the appeal of the Georgia death row prisoner Troy Anthony Davis. The court gave Davis a last-minute reprieve less than two hours before his scheduled execution last month. It was expected to issue a final ruling on Davis’s appeal on Monday but instead said it will deliberate for at least two more sessions. An African American, Davis was convicted for the 1989 killing of a white police officer, Mark Allen McPhail. But since the trial, seven of the nine non-police witnesses have recanted their testimony. There is no direct physical evidence tying Davis to the crime scene. And three witnesses claim another man later admitted to the killing.
