  • S1 BONUS - Ledell Lee DNA Results

    This is just a quick update about Ledell Lee's case


    Statement from AG Leslie Rutledge: "The courts consistently rejected Ledell Lee's frivolous claims because the evidence demonstrated beyond any shadow of a doubt that he murdered Debra Reese by beating her to death inside her home with a tire thumper. After 20 years, I am prayerful that Debra's family has had closure following his lawful execution in 2017."
