Troy Anthony Davis has been given another week before he is set to be executed for the 1989 slaying of Mark MacPhail, an off-duty Savannah, Georgia, police officer.
The new date of November 3 is Davis’ third execution date in 15 months.
Davis has never denied being at the crime scene but maintains he was not the shooter. The US Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal, although seven of nine key witnesses have recanted their testimony since the trial.
His last chance to escape execution is a pardon from the state of Georgia.

FBI officials confirmed this afternoon in a press conference that a body found this morning on Chicago’s West Side is that of 7-year old Julian King, actress/singer Jennifer Hudson’s nephew.
Jennifer helped positively identify the body of her young nephew today, hours after he was found with gunshot wounds in a sport-utility vehicle on Chicago’s West Side, authorities said.
An autopsy was scheduled to be done on the body of Julian on Tuesday at the Cook County medical examiner’s office, where Hudson and other relatives went to help identify the remains this afternoon.
A law enforcement source told the Tribune that the boy had been shot multiple times in the back of the white Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicle had been the subject of an intense search and Amber Alert issued on Friday after Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot and killed inside the family’s South Side home.
Chicago police brought Julian’s body to the medical examiner’s office shortly after noon today and Hudson and other family members arrived about three hours later, said office spokesman Sean Howard.

John Legend releases his third studio album, Evolver tomorrow, October 28th. It seems as though this time John has decided to step from behind the piano, and show that he can dabble in some electronic elements for his third studio effort…
LISTEN UP:
I was super siked when I heard that Legend would be teaming with Kanye West, who he’s worked with before, as well as Andre 3000 and The Neptunes for his new album. And when the snippet of the lead single, “♫ Green Light” leaked, I was extremely excited. It was slightly reminiscent of the work that Andre 3000 had done with Gwen Stefani as Johnny Vulture on her Love. Angel. Music. Baby. LP, which I had fallen in love with back in 2004. It seemed that they were keeping the project under wraps because not much material leaked until the full album dropped, which I think was good. Legend managed to experiment with some interesting new sounds that he’s never showed us before on previous albums, while not straying away from what made his old fans love him in the first place.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden faced off with Florida news anchor Barbara West in an interview that many view as being right out of McCain’s playbook.
West began the interview asking if Biden was “embarrassed” by Barack Obama’s association with ACORN and then moved on to the claim that Obama wants to “spread the wealth”. Biden, frustrated and angered by West’s insidious questions, asked who was writing them and if the interview was real.
