AUSTIN, Texas -- Attorneys for Rodney Reed are now asking that his upcoming execution date be canceled based on new evidence.

Two witnesses, who knew the victim's fiancé, reportedly have information that supports Reed's innocence. Based on the affidavits, an insurance salesperson said the fiancé threatened to kill Stacey Stites while applying for life insurance.
