Rodney Reed is set to be executed on November 20th in Texas

[basquebromance]

despite new evidence that could prove his innocence. For justice to be served, the truth should be out. Rodney Reed deserves a new trial.

The death penalty in America is not only a cruel practice, it furthers systemic racism and has taken too many Black lives. It cannot deliver equal or true justice—it's time for it to end. For proof, we need to look no further than the case of Rodney Reed.

You can't reintroduce evidence and it's hearsay anyway

''''The alleged victim picked Rodney out of a six-picture photographic lineup as her attacker. Police then tested his DNA, which was previously obtained from a bed sheet in a separate alleged sexual assault that was dropped, according to Rodney’s defense. They got a match… Stacey Stites.

But during questioning, Rodney initially denied ever having seen Stacey beyond what he saw on the news. That denial was a mistake, he would later say in an interview with MSNBC.

Rodney was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault and capital murder April 4, 1997.

But investigators didn’t stop there. They ran Rodney’s DNA against several other alleged rape victims in the area, and they got matches.''''

this guy is a Saint --Saint Rodney

'''''In the sexual assault case that led police to link Rodney to Stacey’s murder, the woman who picked him out of the photographic lineup alleged he abducted, beat and attempted to sexually assault her.

The woman said she managed to break free. Court records show an indictment against Rodney is pending in Bastrop Court in that case.

Court records also show the mother of some of Rodney’s children filed charges against him in 1991, alleging he beat and raped her. Those charges were dropped weeks later.'''
a real nice guy

When he was initially questioned by police, Reed denied knowing Stites, but soon admitted to having an affair with her,

I believe that the Death Penalty should be retained for serial killers, mass murderers, terrorists and those who kill minors. However, the evidence must be overwhelming (such as a combination of any DNA, fingerprints, video footage) being so specific to the individual that excludes all others. I would not convict on eyewitnesses testimony alone, as eyewitnesses can be and have been wrong. I also have no problem with torture if such torture might bring forth additional evidence to stop a terrorist attack, or other killings.
