Posted on Sep 21, 2011 @ 01:45PM - 14 comments

By Alexis Tereszcuk - Radar Senior Reporter

Troy Davis, the man who was scheduled to be executed at 7 p.m. on Wednesday has filed an eleventh-hour plea asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop Georgia authorities from carrying out the death penalty, a sentence he was given when he was convicted of murdering an off-duty police officer.

Georgia prison officials were still waiting, at the time of posting, for the high court’s decision about the fate of the 42-year-old who was sentenced to death in 1991. 

Despite an outpouring of support to have the death penalty judgment repealed, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles denied Davis’ plea for clemency and the Georgia State Supreme court denied his plea as well.

Georgia Man Set To Be Executed Wednesday Maintains Innocence & Begs For Clemency


Posted on Sep 16, 2011 @ 04:30PM - 10 comments

By Alexis Tereszcuk - Radar Senior Reporter

A man set to be executed on Wednesday is going for a last minute plea for clemency in order to avoid the death penalty and multiple witnesses have come forward to support his claim of innocence.  

Troy Anthony Davis was convicted of murdering an off-duty police officer in 1989, but his legal team is arguing that there is “abundant evidence” that another man committed the murder and say that they have “sworn statements from three jurors who sentenced Davis to death at his 1991 trial, but who now express doubt with their verdicts and are asking that Davis be spared the death penalty,” according to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.

Davis’ attorneys have filed the clemency petition with the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, noting that seven of the prosecution’s nine witness have either recanted or backed off their testimony.  More witnesses have come forward to say in sworn statements that Sylvester Redd Coles told them he was the one who pulled the trigger in the murder of Mark Allen MacPhail.  Coles was at the scene of the crime with Davis.
