Troy Davis, a Georgia man-who was convicted of Murdering a police officer in 1989, was set to be executed at 7pm on 09/21/2011. This will be the fourth execution date for Troy Davis. The evidence against him was not strong enough for him to be executed.This leaves the question as to why he's still on death row. Many societies like ACLU, and NAAC as well as celebrities like Diddy and activist, Russell Simmons have come out on Davis's behalf. Down to the last minute, his lawyers have reached out to the Supreme Court. With 9 justices on the bench, only 5 are needed to stay an execution. It is now 9:11pm EST and the Supreme Court has yet to reach a decision. We are all keeping the faith to free Troy Davis. The picture above says it all.
