(APN) ATLANTA - A three judge panel of the Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday met to decide if they will allow Georgia death row inmate Troy Anthony Davis to file a new round of federal appeals.
The judges spent over an hour questioning Davis's attorneys and the State to determine if Davis has sufficiently answered the two following questions:
First, given the evidence available Tuesday, is it likely a jury would not convict Davis? Second, did Davis exercise due diligence in providing new evidence?
