He was a pro-tem recorders court judge, Garden City, Georgia from 1984 to 1994.
[2] In August 2010, Moore ruled on the prominent Troy Davis case.
Davis was a Georgia inmate on death row, accused and convicted of murdering a police officer in 1989.
Davis's guilt has been questioned, due to the release of new information, including the complete or partial recantation of the testimonies of seven (out of nine total) prosecution witnesses.
He did not consider the alleged confessions of Redd Cole, another suspect in the case, because of the failure of Davis's lawyers to subpoena Cole and give him opportunity for rebuttal, and suggested that Davis should appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
