There are many reasons to doubt Reed's guilt, but the most glaring one is that several experts have concluded it's scientifically impossible. The state is set to execute Reed anyway. Reed, who was convicted in 1998 for the murder of 19-year-old Stacey Stites, will be put to death by lethal injection in just under two weeks unless Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) intervenes. A group of bipartisan state legislators made their plea for a reprieve on Tuesday, asking for more time to review the mounting body of evidence that Reed did not kill Stites. The Innocence Project, which is representing Reed, has reported on a litany of evidentiary and procedural problems that suggest Reed was convicted despite his innocence. Three forensic experts for the state filed formal affidavits explaining that the estimated time of death presented by prosecutors at trial was inaccurate, which "makes the timeline for Reed killing Stites implausible," the Innocence Project notes. "The Texas Department of Public Safety (who employed the State's expert Karen Blakely), the Bode Cellmark Forensics Laboratory (who employed the State's retained expert Meghan Clement), and the State's forensic pathologist Dr. Roberto Bayardo, have all now acknowledged that the scientific opinions offered by the State to tie Mr. Reed to the murder were in error," Reed's 2018 appeal reads. That appeal was denied. if you're reading this, please take another 60 seconds and tell the gov to have a look
The murder was right here in Bastrop county, so it's been in the local news for years. I don't know if he did it or not, but I do know the system is hopelessly broken. See 'Michael Morton' and 'Cameron Todd Willingham' for other examples (among many, sadly). Mr. Morton spent 25 years on death row before DNA evidence cleared him. Mr. Willingham wasn't so lucky. Independent arson forensics, including a full-scale test burn, revealed the fire was caused by a space heater. Not arson. Too late for Mr. Willingham, however. He was executed before the arson investigators' testimony was debunked. c.

Until we have a just-ice system that makes no mistakes there shouldn't be death penalties. I seriously doubt the possibility of this kind of perfection, so I don't think a death penalty can ever be fair.

Yes, that is correct. The two most recent executions (one was last night), I feel a lot less conflicted about. I'm still against the death penalty, but I don't have a problem with those two scumbags being dead. See, that's the thing. I don't have nearly as much problem with the MORALITY of executing people, although I respect and agree with many of those arguments. Like that pesky 'Christian compassion': our illustrious Governor apparently missed a few Bible Study classes. My problem with capital punishment is in, sorry, the execution of justice. I am all for justice in the abstract, but the fact is, people make mistakes. Witness testimony is notoriously unreliable. HUNDREDS of people have been taken off Death Row by exculpatory evidence, most often DNA but witnesses also have recanted. The justice system is set up to get convictions, period. HOW they get convictions, well, that gets a little gray. And it's in that gray area where justice falls down. She is blind after all, she needs people to help her along. Peace. We needz it.
