Activists Urge Texas Governor To Stop Execution Of Rodney Reed

Rodney Reed, convicted for the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites, faces execution on November 20. Despite DNA evidence linking him to the crime, Reed's legal team argues new evidence exonerates him, pointing to a lack of DNA testing on the murder weapon and a sworn affidavit implicating Stites' fiancé. Public support for Reed has surged, with nearly 1.2 million petition signatures and celebrity endorsements urging clemency from Governor Abbott.
