State records obtained by The Associated Press give a glimpse into Troy Davis’ final hours before he was executed last month for the 1989 murder of an off-duty Savannah police officer.
Guards said in the records that Davis took an hour-long nap as his scheduled 7 p.m. execution time Sept. 21 came and went during a final appeal. He was executed later that night.
He had vowed to fast through the day, but as the night dragged on he changed his mind and asked for food.
Davis insisted he didn’t commit the crime and his case was the focus of international attention. Prosecutors said they were certain of Davis’ guilt.
Prison officials also provided an audio recording and transcript of his last words.
