In Texas, supporters of death row prisoner Kenneth Foster rallied at the State Capitol on Saturday. Foster is scheduled to be executed on August 30 under a controversial Texas law known as the law of parties. The law imposes the death penalty on anybody involved in a crime where a murder occurred. In Foster’s case, he was driving a car 11 years ago with three passengers. One of the passengers left the car, got into an altercation and shot a man dead. At the time of the shooting, Kenneth Foster was 80 feet away in his car, but he was convicted of murder. Since Foster’s original trial, the other men in the car that night have testified that Foster had no idea a shooting was going to take place.
