UPDATE: Kenneth Foster Won't be executed!

Kenneth Foster had been convicted to death pursuant to the Law of parties (see 8/3 post). His death sentence has been turned into a life imprisonment sentence, the judges finally realizing how insane iot is to condemn somebody to death 1 and mostly somebody who was "just" an accomplice and did not kill anyone! An epiphany or just a guilt trip?

Woot! One Day One Deal!

Just discovered through my gizmodo deals RSS subscription this website Woot.com. The idea is simple, one item each day at a very very low price, you can get it only for 24hours or until sold out. They sell random stuff, but today they had a 30gb zune player for $149! Reason told me not to do it but I must admit it is super tempting!
You can add the page to your RSS reader so you dont need to actually go on the website and check what is the item of the day!! Can't wait until midnight!

Reckless indifference to human life...

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?
