Please BULLSHIT.Troy Davis and Brian Terrell were guilty as hell. There wasn't any evidence at all EVER presented in court that even REMOTELY challenged the findings.
What you DID have were, once again, a bunch of people CLAIMING they had evidence.
Troy Davis' execution was put off time and time again over that shit. When they would stay the execution and hold a new hearing, guess what?
There was no evidence.
That was done 3 times.
And to this day they claim the same exact thing: they have new evidence.
They don't. They never did. If they had, they would have actually shown up for the hearing and presented it. They were given not one, not two, but THREE opportunities to do so and that's NOT counting the 6 appeals he had already used up with the same shit.
In Brains case the main witness recanted ...Jermaine Johnson.
footprints found near the victim's body were smaller than Terrell's feet, and none of the 13 fingerprints found by investigators matched his fingerprints. The State of Georgia tried Terrell three times. The first trial ended in a mistrial when jurors could not agree on whether he was guilty. The second resulted in a conviction that was later overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court. The third trial concluded with a conviction and death sentence.
Don't sound like an open and shut cse to me.
