Federal Appeals Court issues Stay of Execution

Troy was scheduled to die by lethal injection on Monday, October 27th. His family was packing for their trtip to death chamber for the third time when the news came that the Federal Appeals Court issued a "conditional" stay of execution. Troy's lawyers will work be working to present their legal briefs within the next 15 days in hopes for a new trial.

SUPREME COURT RULING

The Supreme Court denied Troy's case. The State of Georgia scheduled Troy's execution for October 27, 2008.

Supreme Court to consider Davis' case in private

Today the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to meet in private to discuss Troy's case. They are not likely to give their decision today. Tuesday is the most likely time since Monday is a holiday, so now we continue to wait. It's hard to fathom that this decision will be the final say. For so long, Martina, Troy, and their family have been fighting for someone to hear his case. Now they have the attention of the highest court in the land and their word is it. Please consider how you, your friends, and family might support Troy's case and this film. Continue to spread the word.

The Waiting Game

Two days ago Terry went down to visit Martina, Troy's sister, and they were able to spend some time together discussing the different scenarios that might play out.

As of this moment, Troy is on deathwatch as the US Supreme Court makes its decision. It's agonizing as there is really nothing that anyone can do at this moment, but we are scrambling to try and get some initial funds to be able to follow the story during this critical moment. Any day now they could make their decision, and we are hoping that they will give him another chance--to give many Americans a chance as they potentially set a precedence that will help prevent the future death of innocents.

We're posting on the website some of the numerous letters that have been written on Troy's behalf. It's amazing, really, when you see it all up close. As the NY Times wrote, "What's the Rush?" Why are we so eager to kill a man who may be innocent? If justice needs time, then let it be so. The truth will always make itself known, and of that we have nothing to be afraid of.
