Troy Davis, on death row in Georgia since his 1991 conviction for the murder of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail, sat in white prison scrubs with chains on his waist, as his lawyers presented their case to the U.S. Supreme Court in a rare innocence appeal Wednesday.
Davis won the rare opportunity to prove his innocence in the nearly 20-year-old case after his attorneys presented arguments that witnesses were pressured by police to implicate Davis and said they had additional witnesses who would testify that another man confessed after Davis' conviction.
