Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 7 p.m. tonight. That execution has now been delayed as the Supreme Court weighs arguments by Davis' legal team and the state of Georgia over whether he deserves a stay, ABC News reports:
At 7:05 p.m. tonight, five minutes after his scheduled death, Davis' supporters erupted in cheers, hugs and tears outside the jail in Jackson, Ga., as supporters believed Davis had been saved from the death penalty. But the Supreme Court only granted a temporary reprieve as it considers the decision.
The Supreme Court could decide at any time tonight or in the next seven days whether to go through with his execution, according to local TV station 11Alive.
Davis has spent 22 years on death row, and in recent years, support for his plea of innocence has increased as several witnesses recanted their testimony that he fired the shot that killed Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. His supporters, who include politicians, activists and social media users worldwide, have called for the execution to be delayed because of "too much doubt" present in his case.
