Well Maybe Now Someone Else Will Think Twice About Not Killing Someone


On August 30th Kenneth Foster will probably be killed by the State of Texas for the murder of one Michael LaHood Jr. There is a question about his imminent execution because he may still be granted clemency by the Board of Pardons and Parole (yeah right- it's Texas). There is, however, no question that he did not kill anyone. Even the prosecutor acknowledges that LaHood was murdered by Mauriceo Brown- who was executed last year for the crime. What Kenneth Foster did do was not anticipate that Mauriceo might kill someone during a night of robberies. That's the deal in Texas. If you could have known better, you should have known better. You are not guilty of the same crime as a murderer, but deserve the same punishment.

I just thought you might like to know.
