His case was taken up by the Innocence Project, and attracted the attention of many celebrities, includingIn November, Kim revealed she was with him when his stay of execution was granted — just five days before he was due to be put to death.
In her decision, Justice Sotomayor said Reed's petition "has presented a substantial body of evidence that, if true, casts doubt on the veracity and scientific validity of the evidence on which Reed's conviction rests." "Misgivings this ponderous should not be brushed aside even in the least consequential of criminal cases; certainly they deserve sober consideration when a capital conviction and sentence hang in the balance," she wrote.
"While the Court today declines to review the instant petition, it of course does not pass on the merits of Reed's innocence or close the door to future review," she added. "I remain hopeful that available state processes will take care to ensure full and fair consideration of Reed's innocence."
