Georgia's most high-profile death row inmate has lost his last chance at clemency. Today the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case of Troy Davis. Davis was sentenced to death for the 1989 murder of a Savannah police officer. He had requested a new trial because seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted their testimony. The nation's highest court granted Davis a temporary reprieve September 23rd just hours before his scheduled lethal injection.
