1. The main players in this story are Troy Davis (obviously), Marc McPhail, and Larry Young.
2. When Davis was arrested, nine witnesses who were also policemen testified against him, saying they saw him kill McPhail. Later, seven of the nine witnesses recanted their testimonies against him, saying they were coerced into testifying against him by "police strongarm tactics". But no local or state courts will rehear the case, and now the Supreme Court is deciding whether to rehear the case, and if they don't, Davis will likely be executed.
3. The Burger King parking lot, homeless people around, most likely with sleepin bags. A jail cell, a lethal injection room.
4. He is still incarcerated because no one, besides maybe the Supreme Court, will rehear his case and he is supposed to be executed soon.
5. This presents the argument that innocent people can be sentenced to death, and nothing is done about it.
