Troy Davis was executed

After a last second appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court delayed the 7pm legal murder of Troy Davis last night, the nation's highest court eventually denied his last hope for life. At some point after 11pm, the State of Georgia administered a lethal injection. Troy Davis was executed.
For 20 years, Troy Davis maintained he was innocent of the murder of an off-duty Savannah police officer in 1989. Multiple witnesses from the original trial came forward over the years to say the police department intimidated them into making false statements on the witness stand. Members of congress, former president Jimmy Carter, even the Pope, all begged lawmakers to review new facts in the case and spare the life of a man who could be innocent. But that didn't happen. Troy Davis was executed.
Despite all the evidence that pointed to guilt in the death of her daughter Caylee, Casey Anthony walks the streets today as a free woman.
