あらすじ・解説
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 Ms. Stites’ body linked Rodney Reed to the murder. Initially, Reed claimed not to know 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 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.
