Kenneth Foster To Die For Waiting In A Car
Tomorrow night, Texas is going to execute Kenneth Foster. Even proponents of the death penalty might find this particular case to be in clear violation of civil rights. Texas has a barbaric "law of parties" which states that even accomplices to a murder can be sentenced to death. In Kenneth's case, he was sitting in a car when his buddy, who had just gotten out of the car, shot and killed a man upon thinking the man had a gun. The shooter was put to death last year. Kenneth gets the injection tomorrow night for being in the driver's seat. He is, of course, African-American.
This CourtTVnews.com article covers the situation quite thoroughly. I posted this thread since this story hasn't gained much national attention, but is still quite interesting IMO.

Re: Kenneth Foster To Die For Waiting In A Car
douchebag,
A San Antonio jury sentenced Kenneth Foster Jr. to death in 1997 for driving his friends from the scene of a deadly shooting after what prosecutors said was a botched robbery. first paragraph of the story. changes things imo. Patrick testified that Brown shot LaHood, the son of a prominent San Antonio attorney, in the head from less than six inches away when he refused to give up his wallet. During the brief altercation, Foster kept the car in gear, a fact that prosecutors said underscored their belief that Foster knew a robbery was in progress. should he be put to death? dunno. Am I going to fall for a race baiting OP? nah.

Sorry for the confusion.

Dude, it's Texas. They execute everybody. They don't care what your skin color is. **Insert Ron White "Express Lane" joke here**
Quit trying to make this about race.
