Join the Campaign: Justice for Troy Davis!
Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a Georgia police officer in 1991. Nearly two decades later, Davis remains on death row – even though the case against him has fallen apart. On August 17, 2009, the Supreme Court issued an order mandating a new evidentiary hearing for death-row inmate Troy Anthony Davis. With its ruling, the nation's highest court decided that Davis should have another chance to prove his innocence before the state of Georgia puts him to death. » Learn more about Troy Davis
UPDATE: (August 24, 2010) Judge William T. Moore, Jr., has rejected Troy Davis' petition, ruling that he did not clearly establish his innocence. The judge did rule that it would be unconstitutional to execute an innocent person. An appeal is likely.
