Death row inmate denied new trial
KVUE News has learned that convicted killer Rodney Reed will not get a new
trial.
Reed is on death row for the 1996 murder of H.E.B. clerk Stacey Stites
near Bastrop.
Attorneys for Reed went to court in March. They were seeking a new trial
claiming prosecutors withheld evidence in Reed's original trial.
The state attorney general's office told KVUE Thursday those claims were
denied.
On June 7, the 21st district court in Bastrop ruled there was no merit to
the claims and that Reed's witnesses were not credible.
