Editorial Testimony Troubles Eyewitness accounts may not be enough ast night, the state of Georgia killed Troy Davis. Davis was convicted in 1991 of murdering Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. LHis conviction was based solely on eyewitness testimony. No physical or biological evidence tied Davis to the scene of the crime. Many believe Davis is innocent, and the doubts raised in the two decades since his conviction mean there is a possibility that Georgia put an innocent man to death. According to the Innocence Project, seven of the nine wit- nesses who said he shot the police officer have since recanted their testimony. Some witnesses, including Jeffrey Sapp, said they were pres- sured by police to connect Davis with the shooting. Was Davis simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Those speaking out against Troy’s execution have come from all sides of the aisle. According to ABC News, former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr said, “even for death penalty supporters such as myself, the level of doubt inherent in this case is troubling.” The fact that his conviction was based solely on eyewitness reports is also troubling given the questionable reliability of these statements. Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus conducted an experiment in Column which participants were shown a slide show of a car accident.
