Kenneth Foster Lives

I am glad to hear this one:
Texas governor calls off execution
Texas Gov. Rick Perry today spared the life of inmate Kenneth Foster Jr., just hours before he was set to be executed for a murder he did not personally commit.
Perry’s decision to commute the death sentence of Foster — the getaway driver in a botched 1996 robbery that ended in a shooting — came after he received a rare recommendation to do so from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
This has been covered extensively on Democracy Now.
