SUMMARY: Three executions are making headlines today. Rodney Reed, on Texas’ death row for a 1996 rape and murder, is seeking DNA testing from the murder weapon to prove his innocence. While the Supreme Court has allowed him to pursue this, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals shows resistance, with no clear timeline for a ruling. Tonight, Travis Mullis is set to be executed for the 2008 murder of his three-month-old son, a crime he attributed to the child’s crying. Lastly, Marcelus Williams, convicted in 2001, is scheduled for lethal injection after concerns about racial bias in his trial were dismissed by Missouri’s Supreme Court and governor.
