Georgia Board Denies Troy Davis Clemency
Death Row prisoner Troy Davis has just lost his bid for clemency. The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, which alone has power within the state to commute Davis’ death sentence, denied clemency after hearing many hours of testimony on Monday. His execution by lethal injection is set for Wednesday at 7 pm in Jackson.
