A death row inmate is scheduled to die by lethal injection September 23rd. Troy Davis was convicted of gunning down a Savannah police officer in 1989. Davis' case has drawn international headlines since several witnesses recanted their testimony against him. However the Georgia Supreme Court rejected Davis' appeal in March and a plea to reconsider the ruling in April. His appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to consider his case is pending. Yesterday the state scheduled another execution date, that of Jack Alderman, for September 16th.
