Posted @withrepost • @signsofthemarch #RodneyReed is 50 years old. He's been incarcerated for 7,829 days. That's 23487 meals eaten away from his family. 187,896 minutes inhaling the artificial air of a prison facility. . In 16 days - In 384 minutes - In 23,040 seconds - the State of #Texas is going to kill him. He will breathe one last time on November 20th. . . He's being accused of killing a white, 19-year old fiancee named Stacey. Her fiance was a local police officer named Jimmy. She was having an affair with Rodney. That's why his DNA was found on her body. She'd been strangled with a belt. Rodney was found guilty by an all-white jury. He didn't do it. . . In the years that Rodney has been sitting in jail, new testimony and evidence have emerged that Jimmy not only threatened to kill Stacey if she ever left him, but he's since served time for raping another woman. While incarcerated on that (new) rape charge, hoping to gain the trust of the Aryan Brotherhood, Jimmy told a fellow inmate, '‘I had to kill my [racial slur]-loving fiancé,' He also failed 2 lie detector tests at the time of Stacey's murder. The State of Texas has repeatedly refused to retry the case, or grant a stay of execution. . . Our system of #massincarceration is unjust on a good day. On the days - in the hours - that we kill people whose innocence is in question - is a burden we must all collectively bear.
