A petition to exonerate a death row inmate scheduled to be executed on November 20 has received almost 3 million signatures.
For example, the Innocence Project holds that Reed's sentencing was"racially charged." Reed is black, Stites was white, and the jury that convicted Reed of the murder was composed entirely of white people.
Further, the Innocence Project stated that Fennell, was himself imprisoned for kidnapping and sex crimes, and he has already admitted to the murder. "On October 29, 2019 Arthur Snow, a former member of the Aryan Brotherhood and prison mate of Jimmy, disclosed a conversation in which Jimmy confessed to murdering Stacey Stites," the Innocence Project staff wrote. Snow alleges that Fennell confided to him that he"'had to kill [his] n*****-loving fiancée.'"
Besides that, the weapon used for the murder has never been DNA tested, and three forensic experts who testified at Reed's original trial have admitted that they made errors in their testimonies. The Innocence Project links to the petition to stop Reed's execution, and it also has also created anDave Atwood and Peggy Connally protest the death penalty during the punishment phase of Andrea Yates's capital murder trial March 15, 2002 in Houston. The scheduled execution on November 20 of another Texas inmate, Rodney Reed, has also sparked protest against capital punishment.
