Last week we were able to give Death Row Inmate Rodney Reed a couple of more months to live. Rodney Reed was convicted in 1998 for rape, kidnapping and capital murder for allegedly killing Stacey Stiles on April 23, 1996. The question I want to present is should we still have the death penalty? Rodney Reed’s life is literally in the hands of an all white jury in the racist county of Bastrop and crooked cops. There has been evidence that Rodney did not commit this crime and Stacey’s husband who was a cop killed her. We can literally kill a man who may have not commit the crime that would sentence him to death. We should not solve a murder with a murder. It actually cost 380 million dollars to execute somebody. We can literally keep someone in jail for the rest of their life without them being on the streets and it will literally have the same effects as the death penalty. We can use that money to fix the justice system so that innocent inmates can get the justice they deserve. Thankfully Rodney Reed’s case looks to get better by each passing day as recently he received a new judge. But if he does not get off of this case it could lead to another person who the public believes in innocent being killed.
