! Briefs from both parties in the [**Troy Davis**](https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/evidentiary-hearing-set-for-june-30-update-june-23-in-the-case-of-troy-davis) case were filed in the U.S. District Court in Savannah, **Georgia**, on July 7, 2010. The federal judge considering the possible innocence of Davis, a death row inmate from Georgia who has been granted a stay of execution from the U.S. Supreme Court, requested the briefs following an evidentiary hearing on June 23 reviewing new evidence that had arisen since Davis's original trial. A ruling is expected in the near future and further action by the U.S. Supreme Court may follow. The briefs may be found here: [**Defendant's brief**](https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/documents/TroyDavisBrief.PDF) and [**Attorney General's brief**](https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/documents/AG-DavisBrief.PDF).
