Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow PUSH Coalition joins Thom Hartmann. The clock is ticking on Troy Davis. This morning - in a last ditch effort to save him from lethal injection scheduled for less than 22 hours from now - Davis was denied clemency by a Georgia paroles board. Davis was convicted of murdering a police officer in 1989 - but today - nearly all of the witnesses who implicated him have recanted their testimony and are now claiming someone else committed the murder. Not only that - there has never been any hard evidence - be it a murder weapon or DNA - to tie Davis to the murder. If there was such a thing as "reasonable doubt" then this is it - yet, as of right now - he’s still slated to die. Over a million people have signed petitions to save Davis’s life - and former President Jimmy Carter - as well as the Pope have come forward to call for a stop to the execution. So far - nothing has worked
