Troy Davis - Execution Date Set

The State of Georgia wasted no time in setting an execution date for Troy Davis. Troy lost his appeal opportunity with the United States Supreme Court earlier this week and the State has already set his execution date for October 27. There is plenty on this blog regarding Troy's story, so I will not go into it more (tag: Troy Davis). Suffice it to say that the State of Georgia may be executing an innocent man.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles has the power to stop this execution. For more on that, see Amnesty International's death penalty blog.
