<\/a>Death-row inmate Troy Davis\u2019 habeas corpus petition was reviewed yesterday by the Supreme Court. Davis, who was convicted in 1991 for murdering a white police officer in Georgia, has been scheduled for execution on three separate occasions throughout the time of his incarceration. Each time he has barely escaped death due to last-minute stays of execution, largely as a result of activists and organizations fighting for his life. Supporters of Troy claim that the evidence against him is flimsy because no physical evidence directly links Troy to the murder, and 7 of the 9 eye-witness accounts, on which his indictment was largely based, have been recanted. The Supreme Court is expected to issue its decision on Davis\u2019 petition by Monday, June 29. If the Supreme Court fails to intervene, and rejects the petition, Davis could be scheduled an execution date as early as next month. To ratchet up the fight for Davis\u2019 life, the NAACP has launched a new campaign called \u2018I Am Troy\u2019 asking people to wear T-shirts that say \u2018I Am Troy\u2019, make \u2018I Am Troy\u2019 signs and share them with supporters in solidarity with Troy Davis. The campaign includes an online petition at iamtroy.com, aimed at the District Attorney of Chatham County, GA, the Governor of Georgia, and the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles asking each to do what they can to re-open the case and help save Troy Davis\u2019 life.<\/p>\n
