What further option does Troy Davis have?

[Joe the Revelator]

Now that he's been denied clemency, what other avenues does he have to save his life? I see we are calling the GA Board of Pardons, but can they even do anything at this point?

1. I'm guess that the scotus is all that's left, but I could be wrong.

2. Does the GA governor have the power to grant clemency?

3. No

if I'm not mistaken, only the panel can grant it.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. That's correct.

GA is a very strange state.

13. And he is a dead man. DAMN!

Thanks for the info.

5. Nothing can be done at this point. n/t

6. What a fucked up state of affairs.

7. I normally don't care, but what nameless person unrecced this post?

It's a freakin question about saving a guys life. This board is strange.

8. I believe that only the Board of Pardons reversing their decision could stop this. Such a terrible

display of the justice system. This, from the same pardon board that said in 2008 (I think) that they would never execute someone in a case where reasonable doubt exists. A lot sure can change in a few short years.

I can't even begin to wrap my brain around what must be going through Troy Davis' mind.

9. The Board of Pardons can reverse its decision at anytime and the DA can withdrawal the death warrant

You can contact both through Amnesty International

12. I keep reading that he has little chance with the SCOTUS...why?

14. For one thing...

...and I'm probably way off in my recollection, Scalia once wrote a minority opinion that stated (and I'm paraphrasing) that just because someone is innocent, that isn't reason enough to warrant such things as clemency or "not dying".
