Bryce Benjet, senior staff attorney at the Innocence Project and Reed’s lead counsel: “It should be clear to anyone who looks at the evidence in this case that Mr. Reed did not commit the sexual assault or murder of Stacey Stites. To execute Mr. Reed would be a grave miscarriage of justice that will create irreparable damage to public confidence in the accuracy and fairness of the Texas criminal justice system.”

Yusef Salaam and Kevin Richardson (Central Park Five) in a joint statement: “In the coming months, we will intensely lobby the state legislature and the governor to enact these common-sense reforms before the end of the coming legislative session. Our state can no longer live with the fact that these techniques can be used to coerce false confessions from people. We will fight to ensure a tragedy like ours will never happen in this state again.”
