A Georgia federal judge ruled Tuesday against Troy Davis' claims that he is innocent of the 1989 murder for which he's been sentenced to death. The decision came nearly a year after the U.S. Supreme Court granted the request Davis' supporters had been making for years: Order a judge to review what they say is evidence showing Davis did not murder police officer Mark Allen MacPhail. The judge's order suggests that he thinks the case will now go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sent the matter to him last year.
