Troy Anthony Davis learned that his execution had been stayed when he saw it on television, he told CNN via telephone in his first interview after the stay was announced. He said he was "thankful to God" for the news that came during an emergency session the U.S. Supreme Court convened. Davis said "everyone should pray" for the slain officer's family.
Just in from CNN, the Supreme Court orders a stay of execution for Troy Anthony Davis. Davis was to be executed tonight at 7P.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted a last-minute reprieve to a Georgia man fewer than two hours before he was to be executed for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty police officer.
Troy Anthony Davis, 39, has his execution stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old also said that he is "very grateful for everything that everyone is doing" for him and that he would "accept" whatever decision the Supreme Court rendered in the coming days about his
case.
