In violation of rule 3 of the diary entry rules, I am reraising an issue I missed before, but raised to day on firedoglake
Brown was executed on July 19, 2006 for LaHood’s murder. If Foster didn’t kill LaHood, why is Texas trying to execute him? It’s the "law of parties," which states that a person can be held responsible for a crime committed by someone else. Texas is the only state where the law of parties applies to capital cases, where someone can be executed because of someone else’s actions.
I see that this WAS diaries on dailykos here with little attention.
I had never head of the "law of parties" nor the particulars of this case.
