A judge in Missouri has found death-row prisoner Reggie Clemons was beaten by police and coerced into confessing to a role in the murders of two women in 1991. In a sweeping review of the case, Judge Michael Manners found state prosecutors violated Clemons’ constitutional rights by concealing evidence about the beatings and said the suppression might have changed the outcome of the case. However, Judge Manners, who was appointed by the Missouri Supreme Court to conduct the review, also said Clemons had not made a convincing case that he is innocent. Clemons, who is African American, was one of four men charged in the deaths of two white sisters who were raped on the Chain of Rocks Bridge and then drowned in the Mississippi River. He insists he is innocent. His case has been compared to that of Troy Anthony Davis, who was executed by the state of Georgia in September 2011 despite major doubts about his guilt. The Missouri Supreme Court will now decide Clemons’ fate.
