Rodney Reed is a death row inmate in Texas, currently scheduled to be executed on November 20th. Reed, who is Black, was convicted of murder in 1996 by an all-white jury and has insistent that he is innocent since that time. The victim, Stacey Stites, was engaged at the time of her murder and her fiance later confessed to the crime. Governor Greg Abbott has less than a week to pardon Reed, and every day counts.
