“Will Georgia Kill an Innocent Man?”

The headline of this post is the headline of this Time magazine article discussing the Troy Davis case. Georgia has scheduled Davis’s execution for Tuesday as the punishment for his (now seemingly suspect) conviction of murder following the shooting of a Savannah police officer in 1989.  The Ohio Death Penalty Information blog and Capital Defense Weekly have both provided lots of effective coverage of this case, and this morning brings this front-page Washington Post article on the basic factual and legal issues.

Because I have not followed this case too closely, I am not informed enough to make assertions about whether Davis is innocent or predictions about whether Georgia will go forward with his scheduled execution tomorrow.  Readers are, of course, encouraged to share informed views in the comments.
