A clemency hearing has been scheduled for a man set to be executed for the murder of a Savannah police officer. Human rights advocates claim Troy Davis may be innocent. Supporters say Davis, who is black, was convicted of killing Mark MacPhail, who was white, without any physical evidence. Davis’ lawyer will tell the state Board of Pardons and Paroles on July 16th why his client's life should be spared. Davis is scheduled to be given a lethal injection the next day at the state prison in Jackson.
