Texas has scheduled the execution of our client Rodney Reed for this November 20, despite evidence that exonerates him and implicates the murder victim’s fiancé, Jimmy Fennell. Reed has been on death row since 1998 for the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites and he has been repeatedly denied DNA testing, which could prove his innocence. Furthermore, three forensic experts have submitted affidavits recanting their original testimony and stating that the original time of death is inaccurate, making the timeline for Reed killing Stites implausible. New witnesses, including Stites’s own cousin, have come forward and corroborated Reed’s claim that they knew that Reed and Stites were romantically involved. At this point, the state’s original case has been completely discredited and deconstructed.
Contact Governor Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to stop this execution.
