. . . named Troy A. Davis, who was convicted of murder without any murder weapon or physical evidence. . .
. . . but with instead the testimony of nine witnesses. . .
. . . seven of whom have since recanted their testimony, saying they were heavily pressured to testify against Davis. . .
. . . while other witnesses have come forward, saying they saw another person do it. . .
. . . the other person being one of the two witnesses against Davis who hasn't recanted, and who can't be located at the moment. . . .
The matter will be sorted out now, one way or the other, in what may have been a very close call.
All this seems to have slipped the attention of prodeathpenalty.com, by the way.
