The U.S. Supreme Court is declining a Texas Death Row inmate the chance to have his murder case reviewed. Rodney Reed was found guilty in 1998 of killing 19-year-old Stacey Stites in Bastrop. Reed's supporters claim Stites's fiancé was the killer, and say Reed was convicted as a black man accused of killing a white woman. Without comment, the Supreme Court rejected Reed's petition for a writ of certiorari, which would have ordered the trial court to deliver the case records to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for review.
