US Supreme Court delays execution of Troy Davis

The US Supreme Court has once again delayed the execution of Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis.  Davis has been on death row since the early 90s after he was convicted of killing a police officer. He claims he is innocent and his execution has been delayed twice after successful appeals at the courts and public pressure from campaigners and political leaders like former President Jimmy Carter.

This time around, the Supreme Court ordered a district court in Georgia to hold a new hearing for Davis.  His lawyers say they have new evidence that proves Davis is innocent.  FSRN spoke with Davis´s sister, Martina Correia, who´s been campaigning for her brother´s release for over a decade.
