Court to decide Troy Davis retrial

The Georgia Supreme Court may decide today whether a high-profile death row inmate will get a new trial.


Troy Anthony Davis was sentenced to death in 1991 for the killing of a Savannah police officer. Several witnesses who helped convict Davis, have since recanted their testimony, and some have implicated another man in the murder.

Davis’ lawyers want a retrial or a hearing where the judge will consider the recantations.
