Another Troy Davis vigil
December 8, 2008 at 3:52 pm by Scott Henry in NewsIn about three hours, the latest in a series of candlelight vigils will be held for Death Row resident Troy Davis, this one in front of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals building in Downtown’s Fairlie-Poplar district. As usual, the gathering will be led by Rev. Tim McDonald, pastor of First Iconium Baptist Church, and other Atlanta clergy folk.
Tomorrow, the Court will hear arguments to decide if Davis will be permitted to challenge his murder conviction in federal court. Davis has already avoided three scheduled execution dates due to last-minute court reprieves.
Tonight’s event begins at 6:30 p.m. at 56 Forsyth St.
