Editorial on Press Misrepresenting Facts

Press individuals are entitled to opinions, but it is unprofessional of them to be deliberately, objectively, biased. Take for example the death penalty applied to Ledell Lee, who was executed April 20th 2017 for the 1993 murder of his neighbor Debra Reese. She had been killed by a small bat her husband had given her for protection. Ledell was found with $300 stolen from Reese, an hour later. His DNA was on the bat, and a cloth used to grip the bat. Just prior to execution, more DNA was found on the bat that did not correspond to Ledell. However, it had not cleared Ledell, who had also been found to have raped two other women, and allegedly killed a third whom he never faced trial over, because of the death penalty conviction.

The new evidence was insufficient to overturn the case. It could have meant a third party was present when Ledell beat Reese to death, but had not taken her money and had not raped her. The DNA might belong to her husband who gave her the bat and possibly owned the shirt the bat grip was wrapped? However, according to the press reporting the issue for activists, the trial was unfair.
