(CNN) Ledell Lee was likely innocent when Arkansas executed him in April 2017, says a lawsuit that calls on authorities to release evidence that could prove it. Lee was the first person executed in Arkansas in more than a decade. He also was the first in a string of executions the state planned to carry out in days to use lethal-injection drugs before they expired. What happened to the murder victim, Debra Reese, was "horrible," Young said. "But I was with Ledell the day this murder happened, and I do not see how he could have done this."
