Supreme Court supports Rodney Reed's pursuit of DNA evidence.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Texas death-row inmate Rodney Reed, stating that a lower court had wrongly dismissed a lawsuit Reed filed seeking further DNA testing of crime scene evidence in his case. Reed's defense team has been fighting for additional DNA testing for years, and the latest Supreme Court decision relates to a lawsuit Reed filed to ultimately get more testing done. Reed has been on death row since his conviction in 1997, but he has maintained his innocence.
