Rodney Reed’s decades-long fight to prove his innocence has met a screeching halt once again. According to The Associated Press, a Texas appeals court denied his request for retrial based on the claims that there is evidence proving he is not guilty.
Reed, a Black man on death row for more than 25 years, has gained international support for his claims that he did not kill 19-year-old Stacey Stites, a white woman. Another appeal over DNA testing of evidence is still pending.
