The Supreme Court are Cowards!
From the Atlanata Journal Constitution:
"The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for Troy Anthony Davis’ execution, declining to enter a contentious debate as to whether the condemned inmate was the real killer of a Savannah police officer in 1989.
The court, without explanation, refused to hear his appeal even though seven of nine key prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimony since the 1991 trial. Just three weeks ago, the high court had halted Davis’ execution with less than two hours to spare.
Davis should find out soon when he will be put to death. It is the third time he’s faced the prospect of execution in little more than a year.
The next step is for a Chatham County judge to set a time frame during which Davis’ execution can be scheduled by the Department of Corrections.
Davis’ innocence claims attracted international attention, with Pope Benedict XVI and former President Jimmy Carter among those challenging the fairness of his execution."
