Listen to Why Eric Voss and Jim Daws are liars that committed perjury in the Scott Davis case for money.

This podcast episode focuses on the wrongful conviction of Scott Davis for the murder of David Coffin. They argue that the conviction lacks integrity due to significant misconduct and negligence by law enforcement and prosecutors. Key arguments include: the prosecution's failure to investigate David Coffin’s drug use, which could have revealed alternative suspects, and the prosecution’s suppression of evidence that Scott Davis’ ex-wife, Megan, possessed guilty knowledge of Coffin’s death before anyone else, which she later lied about. The sources also highlight the loss of crucial evidence, the potential for witness tampering due to a large reward offered for conviction, and the questionable conduct of prosecutors in the case. Finally, they emphasize the importance of the Sarah Stephens Memo, an independent assessment that concludes the case lacks integrity and suggests further investigation into potential alternative suspects.

The case of Scott Davis centers on his conviction for the 1996 murder of David Coffin in Atlanta, Georgia, which many argue is wrongful due to significant police misconduct and perjury. Davis was convicted in a 2006 trial, a decade after the crime. The case has been plagued by allegations of gross misconduct by law enforcement, which has been captured on a recording by a third-party criminal justice student who is fighting to prove Davis's innocence.

David Coffin was found dead in his burning home with a gunshot wound to the head. At the time, Coffin was romantically involved with Davis's wife during their divorce proceedings. Davis himself was assaulted on the same night Coffin was found dead, which drew police attention to him. During a lengthy interview with Atlanta Police homicide detectives, Davis denied shooting Coffin or setting his house on fire. Notably, detectives allegedly did not know Coffin had been shot at the time of the interview due to the condition of the body, raising questions about how Davis could have known this detail unless he was involved, which he denied.

The investigation into Davis was initially dismissed by the District Attorney's office due to a lack of evidence. It was not until 2005, nearly a decade later, that the case was reopened, despite Davis having established a life in Palo Alto, California, with a job and a community of friends. This reopening of the case raises concerns about the motivations and methods used to develop new evidence against Davis after such a long period.

The integrity of the conviction has been called into question due to the loss or destruction of evidence that could potentially exonerate Davis. The State of Georgia's inability to preserve crucial evidence over the years has made it nearly impossible for Davis to prove his innocence. Furthermore, the prosecution of the case has been criticized for its lack of care and significant misconduct, which includes admissions of errors by those involved in the case.

Despite these challenges, Davis has maintained his innocence throughout his imprisonment. His legal team, including attorney Mark Kadish, worked diligently to prepare for his trial, indicating that Davis was an active participant in his defense. However, the passage of time and the mishandling of evidence have severely hampered his ability to mount an effective defense.

In light of these issues, there have been calls for the Fulton County Conviction Integrity Unit to acknowledge the lack of integrity in Davis's prosecution and conviction. Advocates argue that it would be in the interests of justice to allow Davis to plea to a lesser charge and be released, especially considering his significant health problems and the fact that he has already served more than twice the time of a previous plea deal offer for voluntary manslaughter.

In conclusion, the case against Scott Davis is fraught with procedural and evidentiary issues that cast doubt on the validity of his conviction. The combination of lost evidence, alleged police misconduct, and the reopening of the case after a decade suggests that Davis's conviction may not be just, warranting a re-evaluation of his case and potential release.

This episode describes the problems with the David Coffin murder case in 1996. It discusses the role of Megan Bruton and her changing story that was ignored by police as well as the misconduct of Atlanta homicide detective Rick chambers. Finally it goes over the memo from Sarah Stephens the volunteer attorney hired by the Conviction Integrity Unit in Fulton County to review the case. Stephens completely guts the investigation and believes that it was handled not in good faith and is a poor representative effort in the justice system.

This episode discusses the flexible testimony and stories of Megan Bruton involved in the David Coffin case. It also discusses her participation as numerous fake profiles on social media and on a Blog during the trial. Discusses other reasons why Scott Davis likely did not get a fair trial. No one to this day has answered how Megan Bruton knew that David Coffin had been shot.

Misconduct and a questionable investigation from the lead detective Rick Chambers in the David Coffin murder case is unpacked and evaluated. It is clear that Chambers along with other misconduct in the case has not provided Scott Davis with a fair trial or a fair opportunity to defend himself.
