Rodney Reed

TRIGGER WARNINGOn April 23rd, 1996 - Stacey Stites was found dead in a rural area of Bastrop, Texas. Two years later, Rodney Reed is convicted of her abduction, rape, and murder. But what if there's more to the story?This is a story of domestic abuse, racial discrimination, and how the power of being a police officer can help you get away with murder.Update on Rodney's case: https://innocenceproject.org/rodney-reed-whats-next-2021-hearing-innocence-evidence/Sign Rodney's petition!: https://www.freerodneyreed.com/

On April 23, 1996, Stacey Stites was raped, strangled and her body was dumped on the side of a country road in Bastrop, Texas. Police theorized that Stacey was abducted at around 3:00 a.m. while on her way to the H.E.B. store in Bastrop, where she worked an early morning shift in the produce department. The truck she was driving was found abandoned at Bastrop High School, which was 35 miles from the apartment in Giddings that she shared with her future husband, Jimmy Fennell. In March, 1997, DNA results from Stacey’s body linked Rodney Reed to her murder. Initially, Reed denied knowing Stacey. Later, he claimed to have had a secret relationship with her. That defense proved ineffective at trial and Reed was convicted and sentenced to death in May, 1998. Reed’s direct appeal and numerous state and federal writs have been unsuccessful. Join Lisa O’Brien on Sunday, August 22, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. Central for a look at the myths circulated in the media about the case and the improbable scenario of a law enforcement cover-up to protect Jimmy Fennell. She’ll be joined by guests, including a member of Bastrop law enforcement.

Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. Central for a re-cap of the evidentiary hearing held in July to develop some of Reed’s claims in his 10th state post-conviction writ. We’ll be joined guests, including two people who attended the hearings.

On April 23, 1996, Stacey Stites was raped and murdered in Bastrop, Texas. For a year, Stacey’s case remained unsolved, with no viable suspects until April 4, 1997, when DNA linked Rodney Reed to the crime. Initially, Reed denied knowing Stacey, but at trial, he claimed that he and Stacey were involved in a secret interracial relationship. While this defense was successful once before, the jury at his 1998 trial rejected the claim and convicted him of capital murder. After multiple prior rape victims testified during the punishment phase, Reed was sentenced to death.

https://linktr.ee/Lovelyfreaks Today's case is about Stacey Stites and who really murdered this beautiful 19 year old women in 1996 Was it the man currently in prison for her murder Rodney Reed, who claimed they were having an affair. Rodney got a stay of execution in 2019 for this crime because there is just to much more investigation that needs to be done.  Perhaps it was Jimmy Fennell, Stacey's fiance who killed her. He was a police officer and was actually a prime suspect in the beginning of this case. However alot of poeple will argue that Jimmy needed to be looked at more closely and I will agree with that.  This case has received the attention of high profile people from Kim Kardasian to Republican Ted Cruz. What are your thoughts on this case? Do you beleive the right man is in prison, or do you believe her fiance is to blame? Let us know in the comment seciton or comment on our instagram post.
