"I am utterly shocked and disappointed at the failure of our justice system at all levels to correct a miscarriage of justice," Brian Kammer, one of Davis' attorneys, said Tuesday after the decision was announced.

Davis' case has already taken more unexpected turns than just about any death-penalty case in Georgia history and his innocence claims have attracted international attention. Its resolution was postponed once again when the parole board late Monday announced it would not be making an immediate decision as to whether Davis should live or die.

Davis, 42, is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson. He was sentenced to death for the 1989 murder of off-duty Savannah Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail.

On Monday, Davis' lawyers said they believed they'd made their case that there is too much doubt in the case. But members of MacPhail's family expressed confidence the board would deny clemency.

1. What?

Even after all the 'witnesses' retracted. And they spoke with one juror at length, she said that she would never have voted for death...



Wow.

We aren't any different than Texas, except in scale.

5. Seems like

they're on a Mission, and nothing will stop them.

Nothing.


I don't know whether he did it or not, but I do feel there is now enough doubt to at least give him clemency and let him live out the rest of his life, which, if he is innocent, would be bad enough being in prison.
