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."
