Kenneth Foster SAVED: Victory!!!

Posted on August 31. Kenneth Foster's death sentence has been commuted to a life sentence by Texas Governor Rick Perry after a recommendation of the Texas Board of Fardons and Paroles. This commentary on http://savekenneth.blogspot.com/ says it all: "This victory is a tribute to everybody who did anything, big or small, to bring this case to public attention and to get officials to finally act. But it is a tribute above all to Kenneth Foster, and his family. I approached today with gloom, feeling that if Texas executed this man there was NOBODY they would not execute. I got interested because of the legal issues; I stayed interested because of Kenneth. He touched many people with his courage, his political savvy, and his amazing ability to stay positive in the worst possible circumstances. Congratulations to everybody, and let's keep up the anti-death penalty work."
