Troy Davis Supporters Rally
Supporters of Troy Davis -- the Savannah native currently on death row -- rallied once again today.
They called on the community to pray for Davis' freedom and asked others to join them in the fight for justice.
Davis was set to be executed last Tuesday night for the 1989 murder of Savannah Police Officer Mark MacPhail.
Even though he's been given a reprieve, the clock on his life still ticks.
The high court still has to decide whether to hear his case.
“We want all the people to support him and go out there and find the real killer. So many of those witnesses have recanted their story and all of them have pointed the finger at one person. So go after that person that the witnesses say killed the officer,” says Marilyn Jackson of Amnesty International.
We're told the high court will make a decision Tuesday on Davis' case.
His lawyers are asking for a new trial.
If the Supreme Court decides to not consider his case -- the execution could be rescheduled for next week.
