Supreme Court rejects appeal from Troy Davis: Georgia death row inmate



The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a condemned Georgia inmate's request that his execution be delayed as he attempts to prove his "actual innocence." The justices without comment on Monday turned aside separate appeals from Troy Davis, likely setting the stage for the state to set another execution date.

The death row prisoner has gained international support for his long-standing claim he did not murder a Savannah police officer more than two decades ago.
