US State of Georgia to Execute Troy Anthony Davis despite lack of evidence and shambolic judicial treatment

Troy Anthony Davis

During his 17 years in prison Troy Davis has claimed to be innocent of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail, who was shot and fataly wounded in a Burger King car park on the 28th August, 1991 in Savanah, Georgia. No physical evidence has linked Davis to the crime who was convicted on the testemony of 9 eye witnesses. 6 of these witnessesn have since recanted their testemony. One witness claimed he never read his statement as he couldn't read and many claim to have been coersed by police. One of the witnesses has been identified as a possible suspect.
Even for those who supprt capital punishment cases such as these must be a cause for concern as there is obviously the possibility innocence.
