More Evidence of Prosecutorial Misconduct Filed This Week

Homicide Detective admits he gave evidence to Fulton County Prosecutor

For 19 years, Atlanta Police homicide detective Rick Chambers has denied that two tapes were recorded during the interview of Scott Davis. Despite numerous requests and subpoenas Fulton County prosecutors have also denied that two tapes were recorded. This was despite overwhelming evidence and multiple expert testimony that in fact two tapes were recorded and the one to use at trial against Scott Davis was in fact altered.

Scott Davis and his attorneys have maintained and argued for 19 years that the interview was illegal and that Scott was illegally threatened with the death penalty if he did not confess (he did not confess because he is innocent). Do police altered the tape instead. Because of this, Scott has maintained that the recording used against him at trial was altered to remove numerous answers and important responses to questions the prosecutors claimed never happened. Scott also has claimed that his answers were in fact altered to remove exculpatory information that the jury should have known at trial.

In a new recording submitted to Federal Court last week, detective Marchel Walker admitted that he gave to tapes and transcripts of the interview with Scott Davis to Fulton County prosecutor Joe Burford. Walker has previously admitted that two tapes were recorded. However this new admission now implicates prosecutors in both a Brady violation for withholding this eexculpatory evidence and now iimplicates prosecutors in allowing the detective Rick Chambers to commit perjury in court repeatedly.

This new video is an excerpt of the recorded with Detective Walker and also shows the perjury committed by detective Chambers in Scott Davis’s habeas proceedings.

A motion was filed in federal court last week asking the court to grant Scott Davis a new trial and hear the new evidence in court or remand it back to state court for proceedings. This new evidence shows that the prosecution’s investigation into the murder of David Coffin and the prosecution of Scott Davis was both a farce and fundamentally unfair. Scott deserves a new trial!
