Turns out he was guilty, apology to follow Login/Join

The Supreme Court, without a noted dissent, on Monday cleared the way for the state of Georgia to carry out the execution of Troy Anthony Davis of Savannah, rejecting five different ways that Davis's lawyers had sought to press his claim that he did not commit a 1989 murder of an off-duty policeman. In three brief orders, none of which contained any explanation, the Court brought to a sudden end a two-decades-long campaign to spare Davis's life, on the theories that most of those who testified against him have recanted and that another man did the killing, and has since admitted it.

Details.

In a 172 page opinion the federal judge found the defendant not innocent! This may be a record for the length of an opinion.

The prosecutor in the Troy Davis case finally speaks. It's a pretty damning condemnation of Davis' supporters' ends-justifies-the-means tactics, and the media's complete failure to be objective:

Prosecutor: Troy Davis appeals driven by 'doubt campaign' rather than truth

Looks like something that might translate into a good topic for the Annual Conference.
