The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]

Rodney Reed has been on death row awaiting execution after a jury convicted him guilty of the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites in Texas. Reed, on the other hand, asserts his innocence, and a slew of celebrities, as well as attorneys from The Innocence Project, have taken up the "Free Rodney Reed" mantle.

Reed was set to be executed by lethal injection on November 20, 2019, but a stay of execution was given just before he was slated to die. Following a public outcry of innocence from celebrities like as Kim Kardashian West, who alleged she was with him when the execution stay was issued, his case has gotten national media attention. Reed is awaiting a new hearing, which is scheduled for 2021.

Here are some critical details concerning this case that you should be aware of:

1The murder weapon was never been tested for DNA evidence. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has frequently dismissed requests for DNA testing of crime scene evidence, including a belt that was used as a murder weapon. In 2018, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear a direct appeal of the Texas courts' refusal to allow DNA testing.

2. Rodney's conviction and death sentence were brought about by flaws in the State's forensic experts' evidence. State witnesses from Rodney's original trial have since filed affidavits claiming that testimony presented about Stacey's death was false, rendering the prosecution's timing of Rodney's claimed murder improbable.

3. Rodney Reed and Stacey Stites were having a sexual relationship that was consenting. No one came forward to substantiate their relationship at the time of the trial. New witnesses, including Stacey's cousin and coworker, have now backed up Rodney's assertion that they were aware of his and Stacey's intimate relationship.

4. Rodney's culpability is physiologically and scientifically impossible, according to renowned forensic pathologists. Semen obtained from Stacey's body, which was attributed to their consenting connection, was the prosecution's only forensic evidence linking Rodney to the killing. This was utilized by the prosecution to link him to the murder and disprove their consensual romantic relationship. However, the testimony that supported this notion has subsequently been recanted, casting doubt on the State's case.

5. Jimmy Fennell, Stacey's fiancé, was the leading suspect in the case for months following the murder. According to a video made by one of the police detectives, Jimmy was suspected of murdering Stacey and was motivated by her relationship with another guy.

6. Bastrop Sheriff's Officer Curtis Davis, Jimmy's best buddy at the time of the murder, has now revealed that Jimmy offered a contradictory story of where he was on the night of the murder. On the night Stacey was murdered, Jimmy had told his friend that he was out drinking. However, based on Dr. Michael Baden's amended evidence, he later indicated that he was with Stacey in the apartment they shared during what we now know was the real time of her death, contradicting his previous assertion. Jimmy declined to testify when asked to explain the discrepancy because his replies could further condemn him.

7. Two new witnesses have come forward and filed affidavits, adding to the growing body of evidence against Jimmy Fennell. An insurance salesperson said that Jimmy threatened to kill Stacey when she was applying for life insurance in these documents. The second witness was a Lee County Sheriff's Office Deputy at the time of the murder, to whom Jimmy made an incriminating statement about Stacey's body at her funeral.

8. Jimmy was sentenced to ten years in jail after committing a sex crime and kidnapping while on duty. Jimmy has a history of aggression toward women, according to law enforcement documents.

9. This was a racially sensitive situation. An all-white jury found Rodney, a Black man, guilty of murdering Stacey, a white lady. 10. Jimmy Fennell has made a confession that has come to light. In a meeting with Arthur Snow, a former member of the Aryan Brotherhood and Jimmy's prison buddy, Jimmy confessed to the murder of Stacey, saying, "I had to kill my n*****-loving fiancée."

LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus Murder Suspect - Full Length Police Interrogation Video

LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus Murder Suspect - Full Length Police Interrogation Video

LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus Murder Suspect - Full Length Police Interrogation VideoFull Length Police Interrogation VideoSherri Rasmussen (February 7, 1957 – February 24, 1986) was an American woman found dead in February 1986 in an apartment she shared with her husband, John Ruetten, in Van Nuys, California. Rasmussen had been beaten and shot three times in a struggle. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) initially considered the case a botched burglary, and the crime remained unsolved.Rasmussen's father believed that Stephanie Lazarus, an LAPD officer, was a prime suspect. Detectives who re-examined the cold case files in 2009 were eventually led to Lazarus, by then herself a detective. A DNA sample she unknowingly discarded was matched to one from a bite on Rasmussen's body that had remained in the files. Lazarus was convicted of the murder in 2012 and is serving a sentence of 27 years to life for first-degree murder at the California Institution for Women in Corona.Lazarus appealed the conviction, claiming that the age of the case and the evidence denied her due process. She also alleged that the search warrant was improperly granted, her statements in an interview prior to her arrest were compelled, and that evidence supporting the original case theory should have been admitted at trial. In 2015, the guilty verdict was upheld by the California Court of Appeal.[5]Some of the police files suggest that evidence that could have implicated Lazarus earlier in the investigation was later removed, perhaps by others in the LAPD. Rasmussen's parents unsuccessfully sued the department over this and other aspects of the investigation. Jennifer Francis, the criminalist who found key evidence from the bite mark, unsuccessfully sued the City of Los Angeles, claiming she was pressured by police to favor certain suspects in this and other high-profile cases and was retaliated against when she brought this to the LAPD's attention.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-of-reddit-stories-2025-cheating-true-crime-aita-and-nsfw-stories--6476242/support.

Police Cadet Rapist on To Catch A Predator Michael Patterson Police Interrogation

Police Cadet Rapist on To Catch A Predator Michael Patterson Police Interrogation

Police Cadet Rapist on To Catch A Predator Michael Patterson Police InterrogationMichael Joseph Patterson, otherwise known as jon_raven2000 was a predator caught in the Bowling Green, Kentucky installment of To Catch a Predator. He is perhaps best known for screaming his ass off while being arrested by the police.BiographyPrior to the sting operation, Patterson was a reserve police officer in Lebron, Indiana, who was fired for using police car lights to pull someone over, impersonating an on-duty officer.Patterson drove 5 hours away from Kouts, Indiana to the sting house in Bowling Green to meet up with a girl he believed to be thirteen. Within 2 hours of being acquainted with the decoy online, he drives to her house and talks to her over the phone on the way. During the conversation, he discloses that he carries a gun with him everywhere, so the sting team gave the decoy special instructions to make sure he was unarmed upon arrival. The decoy gives a series of verbal commands to Patterson to prove that he is unarmed, and he giddily does so without suspecting a thing. Once he enters the house he gives into the decoy's small talk, admiring the house and falsely telling her that he's a detective lieutenant. After disclosing this he is greeted by Chris Hansen, who exercises his own detective skills and asks Patterson why he's there. Patterson cites his loneliness and his ongoing divorce as reasons to commit statutory rape.After chuckling at hearing some of his chat log lines, he is let go by Chris, only to come face to face with a group of officers (who are advised to act more swiftly than usual due to the earlier suspicion of him being armed).Upon seeing the officers, he steps back into the house and makes a run for it, being shot with a taser gun as a result. Only one of the prods of the taser connects with Patterson's body, which allowed him to run even further through the house without being electrocuted. Like a scene straight from The Walking Dead, he is quickly ambushed from all sides and taken down while he screams and begs hysterically.AftermathOn June 11, 2008, Patterson was convicted of Traveling In Interstate Commerce For The Purpose Of Engaging In A Sexual Act With A Minor. He received 7 years in federal prison and 10 years supervised release. He also received three years and ten months by the state of Kentucky. Both sentences were served concurrently.In 2011 Patterson represented himself in a civil lawsuit against NBC Universal, Inc., asking for $40,000,000 each in monetary and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief in the form of having all information about him taken off television and NBC's website. Patterson's allegations include:He was "lured" to the sting house, and that the decoy took advantage of his "vulnerability".NBC Universal, Inc.'s "libel, slander and defamatory statements" have caused him mental and emotional stress and ruined his reputation.NBC Universal, Inc.'s participation in his arrest and search violated his constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment.State law claims for intentional disclosure of private facts, intrusion on the right to be left alone, harassment/intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.NBC Universal, Inc. is liable for violating the "Journalistic Code of Ethics."Patterson’s complaint was entirely void of any factual allegations regarding his claim for negligence, and the case was dismissed.TriviaHis scream is commonly compared to Homer Simpson and Tom from Tom and Jerry.He is the only tased predator to withstand the taser shot before being taken down.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-of-reddit-stories-2025-cheating-true-crime-aita-and-nsfw-stories--6476242/support.
