Residents of Southbury, CT
Oct 24th
Rest easy, you’re not alone: Roseville, CA has its David Pollitt too. Read the story, then go back and read some of the stories surrounding Pollitt’s release. They’re eerily similar. Well, except Schwarzenegger isn’t piping in trying to keep this guy in jail. Yet. Maybe Gov. Rell left a message for him.
Troy Davis gets a stay
Oct 24th
The 11th Circuit has stayed Davis’ execution – set for Monday – and asked both parties to brief whether Troy can file a successive petition. They also included this interesting question:
It asked the parties to address whether Davis can still be executed if he can establish innocence under the second standard [clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable fact finder would have found him guilty] but cannot satisfy his burden under the first, due-diligence question.
If someone has a copy of the order, please let me know. I’d like to link to it.
