With Troy Davis' execution date a week away, family, friends and human rights supporters gathered on the steps outside the state Board of Pardon and Paroles, calling for another look at the case.  They delivered boxes filled with letters to the Board, asking for a reprieve or a new trial.  Davis' attorney Jason Ewart told the crowd, many of them wearing buttons to support Davis, that "the legal system has failed" his client.  He called the Pardon and Paroles Board the "final safeguard," and said there is new evidence in the case that he will share with the Board at a scheduled hearing July 16th.  That evidence reportedly shows another person pulled the trigger that night in 1989, killing Officer Mark MacPhail.
