A Life in the Balance: Examining the Troy Davis Case (2011)

'A case that is not ironclad is not good enough to support a death penalty', says law professor Anne Emanuel. In the clearest and most complete analysis yet, the film explores questions about the original investigation against Davis, why and how the case against him unraveled leading to overwhelming doubt, the difficulty of proving innocence in our legal system's appeal process, and why Georgia should not have executed Davis.
