DNA evidence exonerates Ledell Lee, four years after his execution by lethal injection in Arkansas
New forensic testing has revealed that an unknown person was responsible for the murder of Debra Reese, for which Ledell Lee was executed by the State of Arkansas four years ago.
The new evidence was found on objects at the murder scene including a bloody shirt and a club used to bludgeon 26-year-old Reese to death in 1993 after testing was demanded by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Innocence Project.

He maintained his innocence from the time of his arrest, throughout his trial and conviction, and after he was placed on death row in 1995.
