Troy Anthony Davis

Troy Anthony Davis was convicted in the 1989 murder of Mark Allen MacPhail, a Savannah, Georgia police officer, solely on the basis of eyewitness testimony.[1]

In 1989, twenty-year-old[2] Davis was a coach in the Savannah Police Athletic League who had signed up for the United States Marine Corps.[1] McPhail, who was moonlighting as a security guard, was shot attempting to break up a meelee in a fast-food restaurant parking lot.[2] Davis admitted he was at the scene,[2] though the murder weapon was never found, and no physical evidence linked the crime to Davis, who asserted his innocence throughout.[1]

His conviction occurred in August 1991.[1]

After seven of nine eyewitnesses recanted, his limited ability to appeal his conviction, due in part to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act,[1] brought his plight to international attention.[1][2] No state or federal court has been willing to rehear the case.[2] The US Supreme Court denied his petition for an appeal in June 2007.[2]

His execution was scheduled for 17 July 2007.[1] On 16 July, U.S. Congressman John Lewis spoke to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles on Davis's behalf, suggesting that one of the witnesses who had not recanted was the real killer.[3] Four thousand letters where received by the board written on his behalf, including letters written by Desmond Tutu, Harry Belafonte, and former FBI director William Sessions.[3] Sister Helen Prejean, Amnesty International US director Larry Cox, and the Council of Europe all spoke out against the planned exectution.[4]

A ninety day stay of execution was granted on 16 July by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles.[5]
