An appeals court will hear arguments on whether death row inmate Troy Anthony Davis can file a second federal challenge to his conviction.
A three-judge panel from the 11th U.S. Circuit of Appeals will convene December 9 to consider what the defense calls new evidence.
Davis was sentenced to death for the 1989 murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail.
Courts have intervened three times since July 2007 to stop the execution. Davis was scheduled to die October 27 but was granted yet another stay of execution.
