Perhaps it's the power of social media--or the power of Kim Kardashian--but an aggressive social media campaign led by the reality show queen and other stars has helped to grant a delay in the execution of Troy Davis today, according to reports from "USA Today."
Davis, whose supporters say was handed down a death sentence for the 1989 killing of a Savannah, Ga. police officer despite no DNA, no gun and no physical evidence, was scheduled for execution at 7 p.m. est. today.
But thanks to stars like Kim Kardashian, Outkast's Big Boi, Heavy D, other celebrities, and a grassroots Twitter campaign, his advocates helped to persuade a judge to grant a temporary stay moments before he was to meet his end.
Observers on Twitter are calling it a miracle.
