After planning for about three hours, the U.S Supreme Court denied Troy Davis final petition to cancel his execution last night. The Supreme Court late Wednesday rejected an 11th-hour request to block the execution of Troy Davis, who convinced hundreds of thousands of people but not the justice system of Davis’s innocence in the murder of an off-duty police officer at the night of August 19, 1989, in Savannah, Georgia. Troy Davis was accused shooting the police officer to death at a parking lot while there were no evidences appointing him to be a murderer.
Hundreds of peaceful protesters who continuously supported Davis remained camped out outside of the Georgia Diagnostic Prison in Jackson, Georgia as the number of police officers present continued to increase when the execution deliberation was discussed by the US Supreme Court. Moreover, Davis supporters in the U.S and Europe kept on supporting Davis by declaring “I am Troy Davis” on signs, T-shirts and the Internet. Although Davis’ attorneys said that seven of nine key witnesses against him have undecided all or parts of their witness, state and federal judges have repeatedly decided to not grant him a new trial. Troy Davis was pronounced dead on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 11:08pm EST.
