on monday the georgia supreme court decided 4-3 to deny a new trial for troy anthony davis, despite significant concerns regarding his innocence...the case has been tainted from the start, with a questionable police investigation, a lack of funding to ensure adequate defense, and an increasingly restrictive appeals process, which has thwarted attempts to present new evidence in the case...
no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence linked davis to the crime...
troy davis was convicted of murder solely on the basis of witness testimony, and seven of the nine non-police witnesses have since recanted or changed their testimony, several citing police coercion...others have signed affidavits implicating one of the remaining two witnesses as the actual killer...
tell the georgia board of pardons and paroles to commute the death sentence for davis...
