E34 - The Murder of Stacey Stites

Sideline Sleuths

Stacey Stites was murdered in 1996 in Bastrop, TX. In 1998, a man named Rodney Reed was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death. Since his conviction, multiple witnesses have come forward attesting to Rodney’s innocence. Even expert witnesses that the state used to convict him have recanted their testimony. Yet, Texas plans to execute Rodney later this month. Time is running out. Is Texas going to execute an innocent, or potentially innocent, man? Join Jasmine and Megan as they outline the testimony from more than 20 years ago, and what science and witnesses are saying now.
