Death row inmate Troy Davis caught a legal break Monday when the United States Supreme Court recessed for the summer without acting on his latest appeal. Earlier in the year, Davis supporters presented the Savannah, Ga., district attorney with a petition of 60,000 signatures urging him to reopen the case.
Davis has been spared from execution three times since he was scheduled to die from lethal injection in 2007, and since then, the case has attracted worldwide attention, with calls to stop Davis' execution from former President Jimmy Carter and Pope Benedict XVI. Davis has spently nearly 18 years on death row following a conviction of killing an off-duty police officer in 1989. (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Hope there must be a closure with the case of Troy Davis. Truth must prevail and the Supreme court official should make a stand to what is just and right. Anyway, Since were are talking about litigation, did you know that the Children’s Place, was allegedly doctored information to drive up the stock value of the company artificially. The company has lawsuit insurance, so they are settling out of court, and might not need personal loans to cover the damage. The company has been having fiscal difficulties over the past few years, and has been cutting costs as fast they can to restore some profitability. If the actions were taken as policy it might constitute securities fraud, which would mean the Children's Place would need more than installment loans to get out of trouble.
