I heard earlier that one of the two who didn’t recant, Sylvester Something, called “Red,” is suspected of having committed the murder. So, if that were true, he’d surely have a vested interest in standing by his story. I have no idea of the truth, or lack of truth, of any of the ‘witnesses.’
More than a dozen courts have looked at Davis’ case and refused to overturn his death sentence. Moot point anyway. He has been executed.
The three air force witnesses testified that he Davis was the shooter. The transient’s girlfriend testified that he was the shooter. His friends and all the other eyewitnesses testified that he was the shooter. He shot a cop with 34 witnesses around. The two “recantations” from his friends, who were admittedly standing five feet away from him, were discounted by the appeals courts because they were unbelievable and because Davis would not allow them to testify, suggesting that the affidavits were lies. He was told the court would discount their affidavits if he wouldn’t let them testify. 7 of the jury members were black yet the media turned this into a racial issue where there was none.
