Troy Davis: Supreme Court justices unanimously reject last minute appeal | Mail Online: "Georgia officials stopped the process just before the scheduled 7pm death.
A last minute appeal by Davis' lawyers challenged ballistics linking the death row inmate to the 1989 murder of off-duty policeman Mark MacPhail and eyewitness testimony identifying Davis as the killer.
After more than four hours the appeal was denied by the Supreme Court Justices. Five of nine Supreme Court judges were needed to stay the execution. "
