Georgia Plans to Execute Troy Davis on October 27
-------------------------------------------------



And the State of Georgia has announced it plans to execute Troy Davis a
week from today on October 27. Last week, the Supreme Court decided it
would not hear Davis’s appeal of a death sentence for the 1989 killing
of a police officer. Since his original trial, seven of the nine
non-police witnesses have recanted their testimony. There is no direct
physical evidence tying Davis to the crime scene.
