On Thursday, April 16, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a petition by Troy Davis, sentenced to death on the basis of eyewitnesses who have since recanted or altered their testimony. Davis' attorneys filed a brief on the grounds that no court has yet held an evidentiary hearing on the new evidence of tainted testimony. The court denied the petition, with the majority noting several times that they were "constrained" by procedural rules.

  • No evidence? How can you execute someone where there is no evidence...and just a confession (could have been imposed)...and 7/9 witnesses who reccanted!?

  • Justice for Troy Davis. It disgusts me that the judges won't listen to an appeal on this man. Are they in that much of a hurry to rid the earth of him???? Sickens me.

  • @zluvu4ever You need to change your info. There was a total of 34 witnesses and the 7 who supposedly recanted never did that. They offered affidavits but that is immiscible in court unless someone takes the stand to formally recant. None of the 7 did so.

  • @contreversyking You are a damn idiot who actually deserves me death penalty than Davis. and this only for extra narrow mind.

  • @controversyking

    Wow, most people in prison are guilty so you highly doubt that he was innocent? You sound like a fucking idiot. The only thing that matters is evidence, nothing else. Your personal feelings don't matter.

  • LISTEN It was not Troy but the state of Georgia

  • 1 million supporters and most of the protests had about 100 people in them on the big night? On a Wednesday night? Most movie theaters have more people eating popcorn watching a typical movie. WOW, what a BIG push to support him... ANYBODY... post a link to a new article where even 1000 people where protesting for Troy! Common!!! Do it!!! What a fake groundswell of support. I bet you can find 100 people that went to a local health club that night... Yawn...

  • Shit r you for real steve fuck you what you said!!!

  • @bldgamystery one of these are too dark and do not belong

  • NO EVIDENCE? THEY FOUND THE SAME BULLETS FROM ANOTHER MURDER THAT HE WAS BEING CHARGED WITH AT THIS MURDER SCENE. DAMN...ENOUGH WITH YOU GUILTY WHITE PEOPLE.

  • They just fucking killed him ain't this nation fucked up
