What do you make of the case of Troy Anthony Davis?

Asked by aidje (3662points) September 5th, 2008

Long story short, Troy Davis was convicted of a killing a cop on nothing more than eyewitness testimony. Years later, seven of the nine witnesses have recanted. Still, his execution is scheduled for September 23. Appeals have been attempted, but denied. He’s been on death row for 16 years.
