The clock continues to wind down for the next man scheduled to be executed in Georgia.  
Troy Anthony Davis will be given a lethal injection on July 17th.
Davis was sentenced to die for the  murder of Savannah police officer Mark Allen MacPhail.
The 27 year old police officer was on security detail at the Greyhound bus terminal when he was shot to death in August of 1989.  One of MacPhail's closest friends sat down with NEWS 3, to show "we still care about what happened."

Since 1989 - one of the annual Police Memorial roses represents Officer Mark MacPhail.

Friends like Keith Stover knew him better as "Mac."
"Mac, we called him Mac, he was always there, it was just a shock (when he was killed)," says Stover.

Stover served with MacPhail in the military.
They both joined the police department the same year, worked the same shift.
"A great family man, loved everyone close to him, truly a good man," Stover says. 

18-years after MacPhail's murder -- he still mourns the loss of a friend, and brother in blue: 
"It's still tough.  I drive by the cemetary all the time, and it's tough for me to go in, but I think when this is resolved I will be able to go by there and just sit down with him.  They need to hear our side of it too to know we still care about what happened."

Stover hopes the punishment - death - for MacPhail's convicted killer, Troy Davis, brings some measure of peace.

"To me this is a life that should have gone on, and it would have been amazing to see that."
