“This is urgent. On November 20th, Texas is scheduled to execute an innocent man for a rape and murder he did not commit.Mountains of evidence exonerates Rodney Reed. All of that evidence was kept from the all white jury that convicted him. Instead, the evidence implicates the victim’s fiancé – local police officer Jimmy Fennell – who has a history of violence against women, including being convicted for kidnapping and sexual assault soon after Rodney was wrongly sent to prison. Governor Greg Abbott has stopped an execution before. He can again. A huge public uproar right now could force Abbott to free Rodney Reed and stop this execution. “

Celebrities like Oprah, Kim Kardashian, TI, Beyonce, Rihanna have also spoken up about Mr. Reed’s case.

Evidence supports Reed’s innocence, yet DNA testing has been denied. According to the @naacp, Black people make up 13 percent of the population, but we make up 42 percent of death row and 35 percent of the executions.

This man must NOT DIE!!! Posted @withrepost • @wonderwombman There is a growing movement to #FreeRodneyReed before he’s executed this month. Rodney Reed, who is scheduled to be executed later this month, has spent the past two decades on death row for a murder he says he did not commit. Now, a new witness has come forward claiming that it was the victim’s fiancé, a former police officer, who killed the woman, not Reed. The new information has shed light on what many criminal justice advocates say is a case of another black man caught up in a system that was stacked against him. On October 30, Reed’s lawyers and the Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization for criminal justice reform, filed an application for clemency with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles following the sworn affidavit of Arthur Snow, who says ex-officer Jimmy Fennell confessed to the murder of Stacy Stites when the two men were in prison together. In addition to Snow’s testimony, several other witnesses have come forward with similar stories around Fennell and his disdain for his fiancé, who he suspected was sleeping with a black man behind his back. Reed has long admitted to having been in a romantic relationship with Stites, but at the time of the trial, no witness would corroborate the affair. Now, Stites’s cousin and a former coworker have both said the two were involved, according to the Innocence Project. The organization also claims that there were forensic problems with the investigation and points out that Reed was convicted by an all-white jury. Even though the urgency of Reed’s case continues to spread, it remains to be seen if advocates and celebrities have the power to sway Abbott. Reed’s execution is now only three weeks away.
