| Death Clock Ticking for Troy Anthony Davis But Is He Really Guilty?
Posted July 2, 2007 -- Attorneys for Troy Anthony Davis, an African American convicted of killing a White Georgia police officer in 1989, say that if their client is put to death in less than three weeks, it would be the biggest miscarriage of justice ever.
Davis is scheduled to die the week of July 17, according to the death warrant, for killing Officer Mark Allen MacPhaill, 27, who was shot repeatedly after responding to a fight outside a bus station. But not only is the physical evidence lacking in the case, but six of the nine prosecution witnesses who implicated or named Davis as the killer have recanted their testimonies. |
