U. S. Supreme Court Still to Consider Appeal of Troy Anthony Davis
The U. S. Supreme Court plans to meet in private to discuss the case of Troy Anthony Davis. Davis was convicted of murdering a police officer largely on the basis of the testimony of nine witnesses, seven of which recanted with one of the remaining two named as the possible murderer.
Davis was convicted of fatally shooting Mark Allen MacPhail, a 27-year-old officer killed on August 19, 1989. The court said it would meet on Friday to discuss the case, but hasn't said when it will make a decision on whether or not to reconsider it.

Let's hope the court does right and reopens this case. No one should be killed with such questionable evidence.

Last I heard the court still hasn't decided. Let's hope they do right and retry him or just let him go. He's already served like 18 or 20 years.
