Description:

Rodney Reed sits on Texas's death row for a crime in which evidence and forensics implicate a former police officer. Prosecutors in Bastrop County, Texas have set November 20th as his execution date. This must not be allowed to happen!

Reed was sent to death row, framed for the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites. As the case against him unravels he has been denied DNA testing, which could prove his innocence. As the Innocence Project writes, "Three forensic experts have submitted affidavits that the original time of death is inaccurate, which makes the timeline for Reed killing Stites implausible." Texas has the largest, racist, and barbaric death row in the United States. We cannot let them kill another innocent.
