Troy Davis Petition Denied

April 16, 2009

Today, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Troy Davis’ petition to file a second habeas petition in Federal district court.  The decision is here.  The vote of the three-judge panel was 2-1.  The Court did extend Davis’ stay of execution for 30 days to give him a chance to file a habeas corpus petition with the US Supreme Court.
