Lifesite:State of Georgia Seeks Execution of Convict Despite New Evidence

October 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Georgia man is slated to be executed despite new evidence that casts doubt on his murder conviction.

Troy Davis, 40, has spent 17 years on death row protesting his innocence. Since his trial in 1991, seven out of nine witnesses who identified him in the shooting of a policeman have retracted their testimony.


This is the first time I've seen Lifesite report on an American death penalty case.

I've been casually following the Troy Davis case, and I pray that his case comes to a positive conclusion and that he is not executed. I'm really glad Lifesite has come out on his side.
