Fifteen Days

So, you may have heard that the Supreme Court rejected Troy Davis's appeal for retrial, and his court date had been set for this following Monday.

Luckily, after the EU and other international leaders, along with 140,000 Americans, spoke against the sentence, the board of appeals has decided to grant him another stay of fifteen days. In that time, he has ten days in which the court will decide to retry him. His lawyers have the full two weeks to refile their appeals if that doesn't work out.

Please continue to fight for Troy Davis's freedom and the values of our democracy. Hopefully then, this guy'll get a retrial.
