Kenneth Foster just got an execution date, he will be executed on August 30, 2007. He has been convicted as a secondary actor in a murder to a death sentence according to the Law of the parties, law fortunately neither well known nor applied by most states except for the beautiful state of Texas. So yeah he was a member of a group that was screwing up, robbing stores etc.. and one day it went wrong, he was there, did not kill the guy, but he stayed with the guys who did.
The law of the parties allows a Court to give somebody a death sentence when this person participated somehow in the crime, it is very well explained here http://www.freekenneth.com/lawofparties.htm on Kenneth Foster's website. The law mentions that the person must have displayed a reckless indifference to human life. What do you call executing somebody for being around when a crime is being committed?? For sure the guy could face charges, but death sentence ? Come on... How can those judges sleep at night?
