Rodney has been wrongfully incarcerated for decades, and though this reprieve is a relief, it doesn’t get Rodney off of death row.
Final stretch for 2019
John,
Last month, I was relieved when we received the news that our client Rodney Reed would be granted an indefinite stay of execution in Texas, just five days before his scheduled execution date. Rodney has been wrongfully incarcerated for decades, and though this reprieve is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t get Rodney off of death row or make him innocent in the eyes of the law.
