#TXLEGE: When in Doubt, Don't Execute People

"For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar."
Acts 25:11

On the one hand, we see this:

Bastrop, Texas (CNN)The outcry is growing from an army of supporters, including celebrities, clergy and state lawmakers, trying to stop the execution of Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed, who is set to die in less than two weeks.

Reed's execution is scheduled for November 20. More than 20 years ago, he was sentenced to death for the 1996 murder of 19-year-old Stacey Stites in Bastrop, Texas, southeast of Austin. Police said he assaulted, raped and strangled Stites. Reed said he's innocent. His attorneys say the wrong man was convicted. They point to new witness accounts and evidence they say exonerates Reed.

On the other hand, we see this:

Am I the only person with a blue check who bothered to read all the court documents on Rodney Reed? You idiots have rallied around a man who’s DNA links him to multiple rapes and who had additional women testify about him raping them — including a 12-yr-old and a disabled woman.

Honestly, we don't know. But by not knowing, we kinda know. Doubts certainly seem reasonable.
