Texas to Commit Murder in 3 Weeks

[DinoDoc]

Can you even stop lieing, Berz? Or would you actually like to prove that absurd suggestion?

From what I understand, that means that this Law of Parties thing shouldn't apply to him. I won't argue it too strenuously though because I am by no means a legal scholar.

Regardless, I don't think such a law should be applied in this manner (whether it's legal or not), and I am ultimately against the death penalty in all cases.

You are misunderstanding the law, he was party to crimes that he knew were being commited, he is considered just as guilty of any murder that is commited in the act of commiting another crime.

Hope this clears it up.

ACK!

Sounds like he's a stupid thug but did not actually kill anyone, nor threaten to kill anyone, or even rob anyone. He was just the chauffeur for the people who did. So the DP is not warranted, IMO. A nice, long jail term would suffice. But this is Texas we're talking about.

[Lorizael]

Well, I think I'm done defending this moron. I have beef with this law and with the death penalty, but those are different debates.

I'm curious as to why the other two people in the car didn't get the death penalty, btw. Does anyone know?

You quoted the killer's testimony to convict Foster but when the killer said something to exonerate him thats an absurd suggestion? FU, thats the 2nd time you accused me of lying without anything to back it up. A-hole

[Mrs. Tuberski]

the guy is guilty of aiding and abetting but to get the death penalty is a bit harsh. This is an abusrd case such as the one that occured in georiga and the blow job. Texas isnt the only ignorant state, they, all 50 of them , have their moments.

The absurd suggestion you made is that Foster was blissfully unaware that he was the getaway driver in 4 armed robberies especially in light of the fact that I've seen no suggestion that he is mentally retarded. Then the person who suggested going around "jacking" people at gun point goes out just to "talk" to someone. Please.

FU, thats the 2nd time you accused me of lying without anything to back it up.

Well the 1st time you had glossed over the fact that they had robbed 4 people at gunpoint before meeting up with the eventual victims.

You're all speaking of ignorance, in ignorance.
None here have all the facts.

Man, I totally missed that detail in the articles I've read so far. Linky?

Provide it yourself, I guess.

If the guy was the getaway driver in robberies, and one robbery resulted in murder, he is usually also guilty under the felony murder law. A murder that results from the commission of a crime can be prosecuted essentially as murder. This isn't new.

Of course, when you say Texas is just randomly killing someone who is effectively just driving a friend innocently, you completely distort the debate.

This is why you need to provide info in the OP.

Sorry.

I'll make sure to edit Berz's post next time.

According to the testimony of the other people in the car, the driver didn't even know what the murderer was doing.

That seems pretty convenient to me. He's there at just the right time for the murder and just happens to drive the murderer where he is going.

You ask what would I do if the gunman pointed a gun at me, I'd bail, let him take the car.

And you accuse me of lying? Where did I say he was unaware of 4 robberies? Wiglaf and me were discussing hypotheticals before anyone mentioned robbery so dont drag that into this, I dont know if Foster was or was not aware. The guy who suggested they jack people also said Foster didn't know he had a gun or what he was doing when the murder occurred. You quoted the killer but reject his testimony when its exculpatory. Does it matter that the killer said he got into a tussle with the boyfriend of a woman he was hitting on? That aint robbery...

Well the 1st time you had glossed over the fact that they had robbed 4 people at gunpoint before meeting up with the eventual victims.

I said in my op that the details were sketchy and I didn't know Brown had been robbing people, so **** off A-Hole.
