Supreme Court agrees to hear appeal from Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed
FOX NewsAUG 2022
Reed's case is a tragic example of a black man railroaded by an unjust system. Doubts about his guilt haunt his case, and yet his appeals have largely been ignored. It's high-time that this changes.
Evidence clearly points to Reed's guilt, but the facts have been twisted to support an insidious false narrative that sows doubt into the public's mind about the integrity of the American justice system.
Capital punishment is a barbaric affair that compounds violence with violence. It eliminates any possibility of rehabilitation, drains tax dollars, and forces the victim's loved ones to relive the crime. The death penalty is no more effective at ensuring a safe society than a life sentence - we need to reform our sense of "justice".
