Please Don't let Reginald Blanton Die.

Today I will be joined by Andre Blanton. Whose Brother Reginald is currently on Death row in Texas. Reginalds case is one riddled with injustices. The Initial suspect could not be found. The only two witnesses were forced to sign statements against Reginald, under threats of being charged with the crime. These witnesses were Reginald’s brother, Robert, and Roberts’s then pregnant girlfriend. Prosecutors racially excluded African Americans from serving on his jury. The shoe print on the victims kicked in apartment door did not match the shoes Reginald wore the day of the crime. Reginald was wrongly convicted of murdering his friend and robbing him of jewellery that already belonged to Reginald! His appellant Attorney refused to represent his legal interest, ignored all of his letters pleading this attorney to file what amounted to innocence claims and because of this failure, all Reginald’s innocence claims were procedurally barred from ever being heard. And now his case sits in the Supreme Court.
