Landmark evidentiary hearing for Troy Davis

The case of Death Row inmate Troy Anthony Davis is receiving an unprecedented legal hearing today in a federal court in Savannah, Georgia. Davis was sentenced to execution in 1991 for the murder of police officer Mark Allen MacPhail without any physical evidence. The case against Davis has since unravelled as international pressure for a re-trial mounted. The evidentiary hearings that opened today are seen as the best chance to prove that Troy Davis did not commit the crime. Just before she entered the courtroom, Shannon Young spoke with Laura Moye, the Director of Amnesty International USA's Death Penalty Abolition Campaign, and asked her to explain the significance of the hearing.
