of course he's going to say he didn't do it
Update – he has been released but at 73 years old he lost a lot of his life. This was just sad.

Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I feel sorry for the girl that had to go through this but I don't think Rodney is the bad guy.
There is literally no evidence and we know adult witnesses can be faulty, let alone a child under extreme emotional distress.
where are those comments “things like that only happen to black people“ none? oh ok…
Rodney is innocent. So sad. This can happen to anyone. That's very scary.
Rodney was cute back then
She said the killer had a unique voice. Rodney sure did, you cannot miss it.
He is innocent
It's a waste of time to ask a person in prison is they committed the crime. They will never admit to it and are always say they are innocent.
i believe him somehow
Rodney is innocent I don’t believe he did it
Rodney didn’t kill that woman but karma came after him he should have stayed in prison after his first murder…
Poor Rodney !
The man moved on to another woman. I doubt he did it.
THE POLYGRAPH DOESNT WORK
He didn’t do it
White people stayed in Hyde Park, thats so hard to believe lol
I believe him, he answers the questions straight up. My little statement analysis knowledge tells me that he's being honest
The little girl was rapped as well why didnt they test thats DNA???
If no DNA matched hes obviously innocent..
If he is innocent lord help him, for being there so long
When he smiles, and pulls his top lip back over those yellow chiclet teeth, the hair on the back of my neck stands on ends. It's almost like when a dog bares its teeth at you.
Michelle Sigona and Ana Garcia are the best CWD reporters IMO.
Damn. That man is innocent. Cause when he said he has never and would never harm a child that was real. I believe him.
he’s innocent. I’m like 100% sure Melissa has a foggy memory due to the amount of trauma she faced especially at such a young age. There’s no evidence besides the witness account which should not be taken as HARD evidence when she couldn’t even give a name. This poor man has had his whole life taken away from him in such an unjust way. Melissa needs to come forward and admit/do a polygraph to prove that she really believes he’s the one who did it. This is really peeving me off rn.
So basically cops have no clue who the true killer is….
Rapists and child molesters don’t offend just once. I don’t think Rodney did it. I think another innocent man has rotted away.
The hair and print did not match, so why hasn't the conviction been overturned?
All his life end like that
Aww that poor sweet man!
His mugshot compared to now is completely terrifying! Could you imagine spending your whole life in Prison for a crime you didn’t do?! Waiting decades for the truth to come out but it never does!
But she said she had bit him and fought back? Wouldn’t he have scratches or bite marks?
I think they put Tommy to death before he could confess to more and cost the state in wrongful conviction suits!! That’s justice system for you!
Oh my god poor poor man I have no words
Poor Rodney
he’s innocent
I don't believe he did it! Honestly this Is fucked up
For some reason I believe that Rodney is innocent. If he really didn’t do it that’s so sad I can’t imagine going through what he has went through.
That is why I love Texas. You kill someone, you die too. Simplicita
This dude is innocent he would get off if it happen today
IDK about this one. I think he may be innocent
