T: But, despite all this, the court actually considered the substance of the actual innocence claim. It was not convinced. SC: For the record the majority considered only the substance of the prosection claim,which by the consensus of the Almighty Two,now consists of Red Cole(whom they allege on hearsay evidence to persist in his original claims) Coles sister who knew her brother was facing a possible death sentence,a third witness who originally told the police he couldn't identify anyone,and the fact that a terrified and semi-intoxicated man doesn't recollect hearing four or five syllables uttered two decades back. Hey,I have never yet said that I believed Davis was innocent;I merely said(and that's more than enough for now ) that it would be a national outrage and a cause of international shame if he is allowed to die without an unbiased and comprehensive consideration of his entire case.So far only a minority of judges have been willing to come his absolutely minimal rights. On the other hand,this abysmal argument by the Two has come closer than anything so far to conving me that Davis actually is innocent.If that's the best they can do......well.....
This court is not deciding guilt.
The Georgia jury did that.
The role of this court is very very limited.
