Death Penalty
The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered a new hearing for death-row inmate Troy Davis.
Troy now has the chance to finally present crucial evidence in court that may prove his innocence. A federal judge will determine whether there is evidence "that could not have been obtained at the time of trial (that) clearly establishes [the petitioner's] innocence."
Until now, Troy has been denied the opportunity to present all the facts supporting his case. But after a 6-2 ruling from the highest court in the US, Troy will get that chance at justice we've been fighting for since day one.
Thank you to everyone has contributed to this success to date!
