Quote:His federal appeals have been denied, so it looks bleak for this probably innocent man in Georgia.
The Case of Troy Davis is typical of my impression of police investigations. There is not the heroics, and intuition applied that you see on TV crime drama's. Rather, I believe there is usually a rush to pin the crime on someone, and then manufacture the evidence to get a conviction. This case deserves more attention.
