To clear up an error:

Re: Troy Davis.

I really have to laugh (what else can you do). Take a look at this gem of a quote from today's NYTimes:

"But in June, a federal district judge in Savannah said Mr. Davis’s legal team had failed to demonstrate his innocence, setting the stage for the new date."

LOL.

Could you IMAGINE if this had been the quote:

"But in June, a federal district judge in Perugia said Ms. Knox's legal team had failed to demonstrate her innocence..."

Jesus Christ.

The constitutional argument that Diocletian mentioned in the Knox thread is called a substantive claim of innocence. It has nothing to do with a trial proceeding. The above comparison is meaningless.
