An Innocent Man Facing Execution in Georgia
Troy Anthony Davis' execution stands, Georgia parole board says 
ATLANTA -- Georgia's parole board on Friday denied clemency for a man set to be put to death for killing a police officer, even though seven of the nine witnesses who testified against him have since changed their stories.
Troy Anthony Davis, 38, is set to be executed at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at a prison in Jackson, Ga. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Davis' appeal Sept. 29.
On Friday, Davis' attorney, Jason Ewart, said he would file an emergency stay with the high court, asking the justices to take up the case as soon as possible.
"It's probably the hardest thing I've ever had to hear," Ewart said of the parole board's decision.
"The hardest thing I've ever had to do was to tell Troy we're denied."
Davis was convicted of killing Mark MacPhail, a Savannah, Ga., police officer, in August 1989. At the time, MacPhail was working his second job, as a Burger King security guard. He was fatally shot after rushing to help a man who had been beaten outside a bus station.
Police did not recover a weapon, and prosecutors relied on witness testimony to convict Davis. Since then, most of the witnesses have altered or cast doubt on their versions of events sworn in affidavits. Some said they were pressured by police to make their original statements.
In March, the Georgia Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, rejected Davis' request for a new trial after reviewing the recantations.
- There was no physical evidence against Troy Davis.
- The weapon used was never found.
- The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony.
- 7 of the 9 non-police witnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimony.
- Many of these witnesses have stated that they were pressured or coerced by the police. One of the witnesses who has not recanted is the principle alternative suspect.
- Nine individuals have signed affadavits implicating this suspect as the actual shooter.
- Troy Davis has never had a hearing in federal court on the reliability of the witness testimony used against him.
- Troy's life was temporarily spared, yet the possibility of his execution still remains if he is not granted a new hearing or trial.
