From what I have read, the defense attorneys did not call most of the recanting witnesses to testify to such. They submitted affidavits, but the prosecution was not permitted to question them, since they were not called.
Why didn't the defense bring them in? I wonder.
I think there are a lot worthier victims for me to focus my energies on. He admitted to shooting another man in the face during a party that same night. Then he was viciously beating up a homeless man, when that cop confronted him in an attempt to save the man. I am not sure if he was the one who shot the cop or not, although I think he did,but he is guilty of many violent actions. Maybe this is karma. imoo
I don't remember the exact details (I am trying to keep an eye here while doing my school work) but I read something about the fact that these people were going to say in court, if questioned that the real killer was Redd Coles and since he could not be brought in they could not question them because they knew what they would say. I assume this has something to do with Coles right to face his accusers, since he wouldn't be there. I don't know. I will find it again later if I can.
slightly O/T but there is more than one execution scheduled for tonight... the other one is in texas for Brewer (guy who drug James Byrd Jr. to death)

If Red Coles was the shooter, then why did 7 witnesses say otherwise? Why would the cops pressure people to say it was Troy, if in fact it was Red Coles? They even had Red Coles right in their police department in the interrogation room that evening, iirc. How did 7 other people let him go free and accuse this other guy?
The cops found bloody shorts in the Troy's moms dryer that night, and knew he had been on a shooting spree already that night. Is that why they looked away from Coles?
Can President Obama block the execution?
I totally agree katydid, this man was determined to hurt and/or kill someone that night. The murdered police officer saved the life of the homeless man. IMO, there very well could have been at least three people murdered that night. There is no doubt in my mind that he is guilty. I feel more for the murdered victim's family especially the children who did not get to know their father. Those are the true victims, IMO.

Prayers for all . . . wish we had followed this case with the intent we do with others; I have little knowledge of the facts, but the fact this man is going to die tonight & could be innocent is UNJUST! Recanting testimony? No DNA? Wow - just wow
