The Supreme Court released its agenda for the next few days, and the Troy Davis case was conspicuously absent. Their next conference is scheduled for October 10 (Friday), with any orders from that conference to be release on October 14 (Tuesday).
So Davis remains on Georgia's death row in legal limbo.
Hopefully the Supremes will recognize that there is overwhelming evidence that Davis may be innocent. There was no physical evidence against him, the crime weapon was never found, and so his conviction was based entirely on witness testimony. Since then, all but two of the state's non-police witnesses have since recanted or contradicted their testimony. If that's not sufficient to grant him a new trial, I don't know what is.
Fingers crossed in hopes that the Supremes will decide in favor of justice in this case and agree to hear Davis's appeal.
Stay tuned.
