Ex Parte Rodney Reed, Applicant

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas denied Rodney Reed's second subsequent habeas petition, affirming his conviction and death sentence because he failed to prove a Brady violation and did not meet the gateway‑actual‑innocence standard under Article 11.071, Section 5(a)(2). The opinion also includes concurring opinions that dispute the majority’s view of the court’s fact‑finding role.
