Troy Davis Case Featured on CNN

Despite the Supreme Court’s summer hiatus, the Troy Davis case continues to make news.  Tuesday night on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, reporter Gary Tuchman covered the case.  His report includes interviews with some of the witnesses who have recanted their trial testimony, and well as one of the jurors who now says she would find Troy Davis not guilty.   Tuchman also interviews Officer Mark MacPhail’s widow, but was unsuccessful in scoring an interview with the alternative suspect, Sylvester “Red” Coles.

The US Supreme Court reconvenes on September 29, and may make a decision on his case at that time, but meanwhile the new District Attorney in Chatham County, Georgia, can still reopen the investigation into the case.

  1. I saw the news about the Troy Davis case. I even saw Mrs. Joan MacPhail, widow of Mark MacPhail, and she looked very sad. She STILL doesn't believe that Sylvester Coles was the murderer, and she, like the rest of MacPhail's family, STILL wants Troy Davis dead. My heart breaks for the MacPhails and the Davises, and I will continue to pray for them, that Troy's case of innocence may come to light. May God forgive them. 🙁
