Is Georgia going to execute an Innocent man?

[ASUADPi]

Today's the day I wonder what will happen.

I am beyond appalled that a new trial hasn't been permitted, especially when 1) 7 of the 9 witnesses recanted 2) the weapon wasn't found and 3) no evidence was linking him to the crime. All of that is completely circumstancial evidence at best.

Like I feel bad for the officers wife and family, but come on now, when the evidence is pointing that the person convicted of the crime is INNOCENT shouldn't you be wanting to find the GUILTY person?

I've never been in a situation like that, but you see it all to many times in the media that the victims are so gung ho on convicting someone and having someone to blame that they don't really "see" the evidence and that the person being tried might not be the guilty party.

That is definately one of the flaws in our justice system (convicting possibly innocent people)

4 years later and I still stand by what I originally said.

So why did his lawyer wait until today to ask for a polygraph?
