The Supreme Court did nothing,which means Davis has a new lease on life till at least mid-September.Somebody up there(I mean on the Court) likes him but can't get enough votes, yet ,to muster a full hearing. After all the defense is invokiing a federal statute which exists but has not been utilized since 1928.Personally I believed that Davis was going down. And while nobody is promising anything the very fact that they postponed what looked like the inevitable indicates that hope sprinnnngs eternal. Hey,with Ginsberg and Stevens twice recently concurring with Scalia,there is telling what strange eventful thing might yet happen. Meanwhile back in Savannah,the signatures and phone calls are still piling in at the new DA's office.(A thousand fresh ones from the home folk since yesterday afternoon).He could open a new investigation;he could even move to put the death warrant into effect. But,as of a couple of hours ago,Chisholm's position remains unchanged he will not act until the court acts. http://www.ajc.com/news/content/metro/stories/2009/06/30/troy_davis.html Edited by Sydney Carton, Jun 30 2009, 03:00 PM.
