No Clemency for Troy Davis

Georgia's board of pardons and paroles has denied clemency for death row inmate Troy Davis. Davis appealed to the board today and asked to commute his sentence to life in prison. Davis was convicted in 1991 of killing a Savannah police officer, but nearly everyone who testified against him have recanted. The case has attracted international attention. Davis is scheduled to die by lethal injection in less than 2 weeks.
