The powers that be in Georgia seem hell-bent on executing Troy Davis, even though his guilt remains very much in doubt:

Two defense lawyers say Georgia’s pardons board has rejected clemency for Troy Davis, who has attracted high-profile support for his claim that he was wrongly convicted of killing a police officer in 1989.

The Board of Pardons and Paroles on Tuesday rejected Davis’ request for clemency after hearing hours of testimony from his supporters and prosecutors. That’s according to two of Davis’ lawyers, Stephen Marsh and Brian Kammer. There was no immediate word from the board.
