Stay Granted for Troy Davis!

October 24, 2008 at 1:29 PM

A stay of execution has been granted by the federal appeals court in Atlanta for Troy Davis who had been scheduled to die by lethal injection on October 27. This follows the refusal by the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Troy Davis’ appeal.

Mr. Davis’ serious claims of innocence, which include the recantation of 7 out of 9 witnesses, have never been heard in court. Further, no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence linked Davis to the crime.
