With so much evidence pointing at someone else, that should be thoroughly investigated and I hope a retrial is granted. <BR/><BR/>I have been amazed at what I have read about Texas and attitudes to black people. Seems like the law has moved on a long way from the days of slavery, but attitudes in some places have not.AnnaEssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897634469630870944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507371804916142517.post-25469884065768037902007-12-12T10:18:00.000+01:002007-12-12T10:18:00.000+01:00Hi Anna,Yes i know..All family members of my mothe...Hi Anna,<BR/><BR/>Yes i know..All family members of my mother's side live in Dallas..Reality is that if your black in Texas you hardly stand a change, people for instance in Dallas are been told story's about the black community, how dangeous they are and to stay away from black area's...as you never know what they going to do to you..they could harm you or might even kill you, so you can imagine that most people in Texas don't really care....its a very conservative state, Home town of George W Bush & family... I don't think its any better elsewhere but i really hope that Rodney Reed will get a retrial as i don't think they do have enough evidence against Rodney..this way it wouldn't be a fair trial.<BR/><BR/>Lets keep are fingers crossed!Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841709688844849767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507371804916142517.post-86598522338262827372007-12-11T20:01:00.000+01:002007-12-11T20:01:00.000+01:00I found this story quite shocking, Isabelle, espec...I found this story quite shocking, Isabelle, especially the detail about the truck being returned to Fennell, the police officer, who immediately sold it. More evidence apparently pointing to Fennell, but Rodney Reed was found guilty. I hope Rodney gets a retrial. <BR/><BR/>Texas has executed more people than any other state since the Supreme Court voted to reinstate capital punishment in 1976.AnnaEssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897634469630870944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507371804916142517.post-12077282489249993132007-12-11T19:52:00.000+01:002007-12-11T19:52:00.000+01:00Again it shows how corrupt America really is when ...Again it shows how corrupt America really is when all evidence is there...evidence against a police officer..as Governor of Texas you let arrest a black man close to scene and put him on death row rather than the real killer.Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841709688844849767noreply@blogger.com
