A decision on whether or not the Supreme Court would grant cert in the case of Troy Anthony Davis had been widely-expected today. The Court apparently needs more time:
The high court issued orders Monday addressing the appeals of numerous cases, but none as to whether it will accept or reject Davis’ appeal. Instead, the court, in a listing on its docket, said it will meet in a private conference on Friday to consider Davis’ appeal.
On Sept. 23, the court halted Davis’ execution less than two hours before it was to be carried out. The court’s nine justices then met in conference on Sept. 29 to decide whether to accept the appeal. Now, they will meet once more to discuss the case.
The court did not say when it will issue a decision.
Earlier the CBS affiliate in Atlanta reported that the court decided not to intervene. Citing CNN; CNN has nothing on the case today.
SCOTUS has Davis on the docket for Friday.
