    This is the most interesting death penalty case in years. As of November 15, 2019, a 120-day reprieve was issued and stayed pending further order of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

    120 days or indefinite time? Everyone speaks about different period.

    It was stayed indefinitely.

    And what is the next step? Will be the whole case investigated again? Just the murder or all his crime, including the sexual violences?

    No the TCCA sent it back to trial court. They will make decision on what will be done which will take about a year or two. After that a lot of things could happen, if they drop charges they will instantly charge him with all the rapes he committed and since he's a pedophile he won't have a fun time in general pop.

    A year or two? Oh. It is very long time. I am so curious what is the end of his story.

    What are the options?

    1. New execution date later.
    2. Living in prison forever.
    3. Getting out of prison.

    Are all options possible? Or just 1, 2?

    Are indictments still pending or were charges withdrawn?

    There are several options:

    1. Stay uplifted by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (TCCA)
    2. Bastrop County DA sets a new execution date
    3. Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reduces Reed's death sentence to Life without Parole (LWOP)
    4. Reed has a new trial and a new jury in Bastrop County
    5. A new trial in the penalty phase, Reed would either be re-sentenced to death by lethal injection or LWOP
    6. Gov. Abbott or the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles Board would commute his death sentence to LWOP

    There's no statue of limitations on rape where DNA was collected in Texas so, those DA's will probably seek charges if it looks like he's getting off. No point in retrying him for the DP he won't get executed at the rate Texas is turning.

    The charges were withdrawn.

    Was there any objection by the defense and demand for speedy trial presented?
