The alliterate reality star has gone silent on her support of the criminal she has long championed for release.

Was it because his DNA matched the rapist of a 12 year old girl?

Stacey Stites’ sister still believes Rodney Reed is guilty, despite new testimony

BASTROP COUNTY, Texas — Warning: This story has language that may be offensive to some people. Viewer discretion is advised.

Rodney Reed’s defense team presented compelling testimony on day two of his evidentiary hearing.

His attorneys hope new evidence will help persuade Judge J.D. Langley to give a favorable opinion that may ultimately lead to a new trial. That is up to the Court of Criminal Appeals.

In 1998, Reed was convicted of the 1996 abduction, rape and murder of Stacey Stites.

Tuesday morning started with the testimony from former Lee County Sheriff’s deputy James Clampit.

Clampit said he knew Jimmy Fennell, Stites’ fiancé, as an officer from the Giddings Police Department. He testified that during Stites’ funeral service, he heard Fennell say, “She got what she deserved,” referring to her murder. Clampit said it was the most shocking thing he had heard in his life.

The former law enforcement officer said he didn’t know any of the names of the people who may have overheard Fennell make the same comment at the service.

The State asked why he came forward after not saying anything for years. Clampit said he came forward after seeing the Reed case on TV.

His case gained national attention in 2019 after celebrities, including Beyonce and Kim Kardashian, spoke out in an effort to stop his execution.

Stites was killed in 1996, just days before her wedding. Her body was found along a highway in Bastrop County, and authorities arrested Reed after his DNA matched the DNA found inside her body.

Reed maintains he is innocent, stating he and Stites were having a consensual affair. – Source

Supporters celebrate Okla. death row inmate Julius Jones’ 41st birthday ahead of commutation hearing

Having now spent more of his life as a prisoner than as a free man, Oklahoma death row inmate Julius Jones, who was convicted at age 19 for a murder millions across the country believe he didn’t commit, turned 41 years old on July 25.

Starting with the docuseries “The Last Defense” in 2018, directed by Amani Martin and produced by Viola Davis, fresh facts began to surface illustrating Jones’ ineffective council, a racist juror, and a refusal to allow relatives to testify to Jones’ allibi during the 1999 murder of Edmond businessman Paul Howell.
