Judge Selected for Davis Hearing
An upcoming evidentiary hearing for Georgia death row inmate Troy Anthony Davis has a judge. From the AJC:
Chief U.S. District Judge William T. Moore Jr. of Savannah has been assigned to preside over the evidentiary hearing for Troy Anthony Davis, who sits on death row for the murder of an off-duty Savannah police officer in 1989.
…
Moore has yet to schedule a hearing date. A former U.S. attorney, Moore was appointed to the federal court by President Bill Clinton in 1994 and has served as chief judge for the past five years.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 17 ordered an evidentiary hearing for Davis. Read about that decision and some of the case background here.
