Most news articles involving the government or politics are extremely boring, predictable, and otherwise lacking in novelty. Not today! For today Texas decided not to execute someone.
Gov. Rick Perry accepted a parole board recommendation Thursday to spare condemned inmate Kenneth Foster, the getaway driver in a 1996 murder who had been scheduled for execution within hours.That has to make a condemned convict feel like a lottery winner. I wonder if Governors sit around, giggling, getting a big kick out of stopping an execution at the last minute? Yeah, great joke.
The sentence had drawn protests from death penalty opponents because Foster wasn’t the actual shooter.
'After carefully considering the facts of this case, along with the recommendation from the Board of Pardons and Paroles, I believe the right and just decision is to commute Foster’s sentence from the death penalty to life imprisonment,' Perry said in a statement.
Speaking of which, how do Conservative Christians know that Christ was not black? Jesus wasn't hung.
