TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:
* The Case of Kenneth Foster: Texas Prepares to Execute Man for Driving a
Car Near Scene of Murder *
Three weeks from today, a 30-year-old African American man on death row in
Texas is scheduled to be executed. Kenneth Foster was sentenced to death ten
years ago for the murder of Michael Lahood, a white man. The trial judge,
the prosecutor, and the jury that sentenced him to die admit he never killed
anyone. Foster is scheduled to be executed under a controversial Texan 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 with three passengers, one of whom left the car, got into an
altercation and shot Lahood dead. We broadcast a rare interview of Kenneth
Foster from death row and speak to his family in Texas as well a journalist
who has closely followed his case.
