Supreme Court decision on Troy Davis case is expected soon

On September 29th, the Supreme Court met to consider the case of Troy Davis.

Davis sits on Georgia's death row despite compelling evidence of his innocence. He had been scheduled to die on September 23rd, but the Supremes intervened two hours before his scheduled execution and issued a stay of execution while they consider whether or not to hear Davis's appeal.

It is expected that the Supremes will announce their decision today, or else later this week. If they decline to hear Davis' appeal, his stay of execution will expire immediately, and Georgia will likely waste no time in setting a new execution date. However, if they agree to hear the appeal, the stay will remain in force until the Court issues its ultimate ruling in the case.

Stay tuned. I am tapped into a number of networks that are keeping on top of this case by the minute. I will post a note announcing the decision as soon as I receive the news.

This is literally a matter of life and death.
