Listen to this video update and introduction to Scott’s Case for 2025
Scott Davis is innocent of all the crimes against David Coffin for several compelling reasons. The evidence, alibis, and investigative misconduct all point to his wrongful conviction.
### Alibi for the Porsche Burning
Scott Davis has a clear and irrefutable alibi for the burning of David Coffin’s Porsche, which occurred in DeKalb County. This is the only crime in the case where the exact time is known. At the time the Porsche was set on fire, Scott was at work in downtown Atlanta. This alibi is supported by evidence, including records confirming his presence at work. Even the prosecution conceded during the trial that Scott could not have set the Porsche on fire due to his confirmed work meeting downtown.
### Lack of Evidence at the Crime Scenes
There is no physical evidence tying Scott to any of the crime scenes. Fingerprints found at the scenes did not match Scott’s, and there is no ballistic or forensic evidence linking him to the crimes. Additionally, there is no evidence that Scott had access to David Coffin’s address before the murder occurred. Claims that Scott had the address earlier are inconsistent with phone records and witness statements, further undermining the case against him.
### Investigative Misconduct and Negligence
The investigation into David Coffin’s murder was marred by severe misconduct and negligence across multiple agencies, including the Atlanta Police Department, the DeKalb County Police and Fire Departments, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. Over 70 pieces of critical evidence were lost or destroyed, including what was allegedly the murder weapon, fingerprints, and other forensic materials. More than 300 documented violations of standard operating procedures occurred during the investigation. This level of mishandling and negligence casts significant doubt on the integrity of the case.
### False Testimony and Procedural Errors
The case against Scott also relied on false testimony and procedural errors. For example, there were allegations of false testimony regarding a taped interview with Scott on the night of the murder, which was not adequately challenged by the defense attorneys. These errors created a lack of confidence in the jury’s verdict. The prosecution’s case was built on speculation and circumstantial evidence rather than concrete proof, as even members of the jury expressed doubts about whether the prosecution met its burden of proof.
### Alternative Explanations and Lack of Motive
Alternative explanations for David Coffin’s death were not thoroughly investigated. Coffin was reportedly under the influence of cocaine and alcohol at the time of his death, but no investigation was conducted into his drug-related activities or other potential suspects. Furthermore, Scott had no clear motive to commit these crimes. While there was a connection between Scott and Coffin through Scott’s estranged wife, this alone does not establish guilt, especially in the absence of evidence placing Scott at the scene.
### Conclusion
The case against Scott Davis is fundamentally flawed due to the lack of evidence, his solid alibi for the Porsche burning, and the widespread misconduct by law enforcement and prosecuting agencies. The prosecution relied on conjecture and speculation rather than proof, leading to a wrongful conviction. All of these factors demonstrate that Scott Davis is innocent of all the crimes against David Coffin.
