Attorneys for death row inmate Troy Davis have asked the state Supreme Court to stay his execution while they appeal his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Davis is scheduled to be executed in one week, on Sept. 23. He was convicted of the 1989 murder of Savannah Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail. The Georgia pardons board denied clemency Friday for Davis after a day of hearing from eyewitnesses with lingering doubts about whether he killed the off-duty officer.
