Georgia to Execute Troy Davis in Sept.

ATLANTA — Georgia is scheduling the execution later this month of an inmate who has won worldwide support for his claims of innocence in the 1989 slaying of a Savannah police officer, his attorney said Tuesday.


A Chatham County judge signed the death warrant for Troy Davis on Tuesday, marking the fourth time since 2007 that the state has a scheduled an execution for Davis. The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the execution in March by rejecting an appeal by Davis.

Not everyone but a substantial number of them are as evidenced by DNA evidence clearing some of them.

Cops and prosecutors wouldn't lie to get a conviction now would they?
