CNN is reporting a last minute stay of execution for Troy Davis. Less than TWO HOURS before he was scheduled to be executed.

Last week, anti-death penalty activist and AlterNet Associate Editor Liliana Segura was on GRITtv, talking about his case - check out the interview here.

JACKSON, Georgia (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court granted a last-minute reprieve to a Georgia man fewer than two hours before he was to be executed for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty police officer.

Troy Anthony Davis learned that his execution had been stayed when he saw it on television, he told CNN via telephone in his first interview after the stay was announced.

The case against Mr. Davis was built almost entirely on eyewitness testimony which unraveled in recent years. Since the trial seven out of the nine eyewitnesses have recanted their testimony, saying that the police coerced them. There is no weapon, no DNA and no motive. But the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles rejected his clemency request in September.
