Four years after the execution of a condemned man, a murder weapon was revealed to contain the DNA of another person, leaving the family devastated.

Four years after Ledell Lee was executed for murder, the DNA of another person was discovered on the murder weapon, leaving his family devastated.

Lee was found guilty in 1995 of killing Debra Reese in 1993 after she was discovered dead after being “strangled and beaten” with a tiny wooden bat.

Although the verdict was upheld by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 1997, there have long been doubts about Lee’s guilt. In a 2020 lawsuit, Reese’s family denied.

That his family spotted Lee close to the murder site, despite many of his neighbors telling detectives they did. “No physical evidence directly tied Mr. Lee to the murder of Ms. Reese,” they said.

In his last remarks to the BBC, Lee insisted on his innocence before being put to death on April 20, 2017. “My dying words will always be, as it has been: I am an innocent man,” he said.
