Rodney Reed is InnocentTX, United States

8 Sept 2019
Rodney Reed is innocent of the murder of Stacey Stites. At the time of the crime and now, all evidence implicates Stacey was killed by her boyfriend / fiancé, Jimmy Fennell. The scientific and medical evidence ALONE exonerates Rodney Reed.
Here are some indisputable facts against Fennell:
- Jimmy Fennell has a history of violence against women.
- Fennell told a fellow officer he'd kill Stacey if she cheated on him again. Jimmy explained to this officer he would strangle Stacey with a belt so as to not leave his fingerprints and / or DNA on Stacey. Stacey was strangled with a belt.
- Fennell threatened Rodney Reed "he'd pay" for spending time with Stacey.
- Stacey told friends Fennell would kill her if he found out about her "friend."
- Fennell lied about his whereabouts on the last night Stacey was known alive.
- Fennell was the last person with Stacey at the time of her death.
- When Fennell's truck was located, the driver's side seatbelt was engaged, which is typical for law enforcement, implying a cop was last driving the truck. Fennell was a cop.
- Stacey's fingernails were clipped to the quick post mortem. In 1996, law enforcement knew DNA was collected from fingernails, but, it wasn't known in the general public.
- Fennell closed his and Stacey's joint bank account the morning of April 23, 1996 - hours before Stacey's body was found.
- Fennell sold his pick-up truck a few days after Stacey's death, prior to a full forensics investigation and processing of the vehicle, even though the truck was filled with evidence.
- Fennell failed two polygraph exams. When specifically asked if he strangled Stacey, Fennell failed the question.
- Fennell "Pled the 5th" rather than answer questions in open court about his role in Stacey's death.
