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.

FINALLY JUSTICE!
I was in the court room when the witnesses testified against Davis. They were sure!
The recantings are not believable, because it worked liked this:
They gave their statements and then 2 YEARS later they testified in court validating their written statements. 2 years time passed and their testimony did NOT change. It was only several years later did they decide they might have reservations on what they said. C'mon...................If you could pick a time that the witnesses should be believed, when would be? The time of the crime, 2 years later when they swore under oath they were telling the truth or many years later when they decide they may not be sure?
Troy Davis has run through every single possible defense in an effort to get out of this:
He has claimed, failure of due process, poopy attorney, failed to blame another earlier because “he didn’t want to be a snitch”, he has been railroaded re: a racial thing, he is innocent and all of those eye witnesses were wrong, now all of the witnesses are correct since they are recanting. The question reverts back to how innocent is a man pistol whipping an unarmed homeless guy for a can of beer at 1:00am?
There WAS blood evidence, in 1989 there was no DNA testing available, when the prosecution (not the defense) insisted on testing the old blood, it was degraded and the sample was used up in the test. So no results were generated. The blood came from Troy Davis’s shorts that were found in his mother’s washing machine. How many folks do you know that wash clothes between 1:00am 6:00am? The earlier shooting that Davis committed (he was involved in 2 that night) resulted in the same ballistic match as the ammo at the Police Officer's murder, while Troy was the common denominator at both locations. Go to the website for ALL of the facts. Ever wonder why the defense doesn't offer facts on their website?
These recanting witnesses have been interviewed by the Pardons and Parole Board and apparently found lacking in credibility.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on our blog.
Your comments certainly point to some critical issues in the case and raise some serious questions that should be addressed.
Terry and I have been hoping to be able to communicate with both your family and the DA's office, because we want to get all sides of the story. And there is certainly a lot to be learned. Just a comparison of your website, markallenmacphail.com, and the Davis family, troyanthonydavis.org, shows both sides of the same coin.
This is a story that's deeply affecting for everyone, no matter what side they are approaching from. And no matter the result, there has been tragedy that will never be fully recovered. Articles like this help show that:

This is the kind of thing we are hoping to share, to help the public understand the seriousness of everything that is at stake. We look forward to speaking soon.
