The case of Troy Davis. Is the state of Georgia about to execute an innocent man?

On his show Politics Nation, MSNBC's Al Sharpton discussed the Troy Davis case and concerns raised in a case that some feel will result in the death of an innocent man. Mr. Davis was convicted for the 1989 killing of police officer Mark Allen MacPhail. As the following clip demonstrates, questions and doubts surrounding the credibility of witness testimony has led some to believe that executing Mr. Davis would be a tragic injustice.

Rev. Al Sharpton sat down with former Georgia Republican Congressman Bob Barr to discuss the situation. Ironically, Barr, a man who supports the death penalty, nevertheless lends his voice to those who fear Georgia may be preparing to execute an innocent man. Troy Davis is scheduled to be executed on September 21st.
