“This is urgent. On November 20th, Texas is scheduled to execute an innocent man for a rape and murder he did not commit.Mountains of evidence exonerates Rodney Reed. All of that evidence was kept from the all white jury that convicted him. Instead, the evidence implicates the victim’s fiancé – local police officer Jimmy Fennell – who has a history of violence against women, including being convicted for kidnapping and sexual assault soon after Rodney was wrongly sent to prison. Governor Greg Abbott has stopped an execution before. He can again. A huge public uproar right now could force Abbott to free Rodney Reed and stop this execution. “

RODNEY REED ❤️

I only heard about Mr Reed’s case last week but I’m sure most of us have heard similar stories. A black man railroaded into the U.S. justice system by an unfair trial, racism, and lack of proper evidence testing. Mr. Reed was convicted of killing a white woman and has been on death row in Texas for 22 years. His days are literally numbered and at this point he has 8 days left till his execution date, November 20, 2019.

Mr Reed has been heavy on my heart and I felt the need to bring some type of awareness to the communities that I’m a part of. Hope that you can take some time out of your day to read or listen to his case, and help in anyway you can to give this man another chance at life.

About the Case

Stacey Stites died in April 1996. Nearly one year later, Bastrop Sheriffs arrested a 29-year-old black man named Rodney Reed. He was charged with capital murder, citing DNA evidence matching Reed’s DNA to a small amount of sperm found inside the body. Prosecutors succesfully argued that this was enough evidence to prove that Reed was responsible for her brutal sexual assault and murder. (freerodneyreed.com)

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. (innocentproject.org)

This man must NOT DIE!!! Posted @withrepost • @wonderwombman There is a growing movement to #FreeRodneyReed before he’s executed this month. Rodney Reed, who is scheduled to be executed later this month, has spent the past two decades on death row for a murder he says he did not commit. Now, a new witness has come forward claiming that it was the victim’s fiancé, a former police officer, who killed the woman, not Reed. The new information has shed light on what many criminal justice advocates say is a case of another black man caught up in a system that was stacked against him. On October 30, Reed’s lawyers and the Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization for criminal justice reform, filed an application for clemency with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles following the sworn affidavit of Arthur Snow, who says ex-officer Jimmy Fennell confessed to the murder of Stacy Stites when the two men were in prison together. In addition to Snow’s testimony, several other witnesses have come forward with similar stories around Fennell and his disdain for his fiancé, who he suspected was sleeping with a black man behind his back. Reed has long admitted to having been in a romantic relationship with Stites, but at the time of the trial, no witness would corroborate the affair. Now, Stites’s cousin and a former coworker have both said the two were involved, according to the Innocence Project. The organization also claims that there were forensic problems with the investigation and points out that Reed was convicted by an all-white jury. Even though the urgency of Reed’s case continues to spread, it remains to be seen if advocates and celebrities have the power to sway Abbott. Reed’s execution is now only three weeks away.
