Georgia Sets Date to Execute Troy Davis

HeadlineSep 08, 2008

In the state of Georgia, a county judge has issued an order for Troy Davis to be executed on September 23. Last July, Davis came within twenty-four hours of execution before receiving a temporary stay. In 1991, Davis was convicted of murdering a white police officer, but since then many questions have been raised about his case. The murder weapon was never found. There’s no DNA evidence or other physical evidence. Seven of the nine non-police witnesses said they were coerced by police and have since recanted their testimony.
