Troy Jones was scheduled to die at 7:00 PM EST today. The case was internationally controversial because several eye witnesses changed their testimony and claimed police harassment during their statements. No murder weapon was found. There were no finger prints or DNA at the scene. Jones was convicted of murdering a police officer. Supporters of Jones asserted the Georgia judicial system is racist.
Jimmy Carter was among those who were calling for a stay of Jones's execution.
