Supreme Court Postpones Davis Decision

Not giving up…Troy Davis supporters added more ammunition to his case Monday. "There just isn't enough evidence to kill him," say NAACP President Dr. Prince Jackson. The NAACP, Amnesty International, and others delivered a petition to Chatham County's District attorney Monday asking for a new investigation. They claim the petition holds 60,000 signatures worldwide... ten thousand from Chatham County. "I think it's only fair since a life is involved and there is so much doubt and not only coming from Savannah… doubt coming from over the world,"says Jackson. There are strong emotions on both sides of this case. Many feel that the right person is behind bars, and that the proper action was taken. On the other hand, those supporting Troy Davis say they want DA Larry Chisolm to do the right thing. "I think Larry has an obligation to take another look at it. Of course you can't push the DA into doing anything he doesn't want to do that he doesn't think is legal," says Jackson. Martina Correia says she will keep doing everything in her power to save her brother's life.
"This is not about having the first black DA do something for a black inmate or defendant. This is about the truth, and all we're seeking is the truth. His platform he ran on accountability, openness, and fairness. That's all I'm asking him to do Is Take a fair look at something with fresh eyes," says Martina.
Macphail's son has some strong opinions, too. "Mark, if you could talk to District Attorney Larry Chisolm, what would you say to him?"
Kind of, you know, who does he stand up for? Does he stand up for Police? The guys who put their lives on the line every time they wear that badge, uphold our laws, or the criminals who try to break those laws?" Davis' Attorney Jason Ewart tells News 3 delaying the decision sends a clear message that the justices think this case needs to be resolved in Georgia, not by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, The D.A.’s Office released this statement.
"The Chatham County District Attorney's Office has no comment on the substance of this case until all appeals are exhausted."
