Texas Death Row Inmate Granted DNA Testing by Supreme Court.

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Rodney Reed, a death row inmate in Texas, allowing him to seek DNA testing that he says may help prove his innocence in the 1996 rape and murder of Stacey Stites. The court said that Reed had not waited too long to file a federal lawsuit seeking the testing of some 40 items of evidence, including the belt used to strangle Stites. The case has drawn intense interest from lawmakers and celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Rihanna.
