Supremes to consider Troy Davis case on June 25

I have learned that the U.S. Supreme Court will be discussing the case of Troy Davis on June 25. If they choose not to pursue the case, the state of Georgia will likely set a new -- and likely final -- execution date for him.

The Supremes rejected an earlier appeal in this case last October, so I'm not optimistic that they will save his life this time around.

But I hope that they will come to their senses and acknowledge the strong evidence that Troy is innocent.

Troy's original trial was flawed, and most of the witnesses have since recanted or contradicted their stories. There is no physical evidence linking him to the crime, and his conviction was based solely on that questionable testimony by witnesses.

Say tuned, with fingers crossed.
