In Georgia a man awaits a decision about whether or not he will be placed on death row, for a fourth time. Troy Davis, convicted for the murder of a Savannah police officer in 1991 has been on death row three times.
His guilt has come into serious question in the last week before his scheduled execution on Wednesday. 7 of the 9 witnesses have recanted their testimony against Davis. There was also no murder weapon ever found.
While protesters rallied outside the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, the mother of the dead cop, Anneliese MacPhail remains stoically convinced of Davis' guild. "I'm not out after blood," she told CNN, "I'm after justice."
The Board met today to determine Davis' fate.
