JACKSON, Ga. (Reuters) - The U.S. state of Georgia
executed convicted murderer Troy Davis Wednesday in a case
that drew international attention after claims by his lawyers
that evidence against him was false and misleading.
Davis, convicted of the 1989 killing of a police officer,
was put to death by lethal injection at a prison in central
Georgia after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a final
appeal.
