- The State of Georgia has been trying to execute Troy Anthony Davis for more than 15 years, despite compelling evidence that he did not commit the murder for which he is sentenced to die.
Davis has been to death’s door three times – most recently, he was 90 minutes from execution – rescued each time by heroic lawyering. But his luck may be running out.
A 30-day stay of execution expires this weekend, prompting Amnesty International and other human rights groups to declare Tuesday a global day of action – a time for those who hate injustice to raise our voices and save this man’s life.
