What’s Next for Rodney Reed and How You Can Help

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted Rodney Reed an indefinite stay of execution on Friday, just five days before he was scheduled to be executed. The decision means Rodney no longer has an execution date — but he’s still on death row.

However, Rodney now has another chance to prove his innocence.

So what’s next?

In the coming months, new witnesses will testify on Rodney’s behalf during a week-long hearing and new, mounting evidence that points to his innocence will be presented. Judges will then determine whether or not Rodney will get a new trial.

While the hearing hasn’t been scheduled yet, there are still several ways you can continue to support Rodney and his family, and stay involved.
