August 3, 2008 Inmate's supporters appeal to governor by Eva Ruth Moravec San Antonio Express News, August 3, 2008 Excerpt: Last August, Perry commuted a death sentence to life in prison for inmate Kenneth Foster Jr., also convicted under the law of parties statute. “Jeff's case is so much like Kenneth's case; it is like a mirror image,” Lawrence Foster, grandfather of Kenneth Foster Jr., wrote in a statement read at the rally. “I remember thinking last summer that Texas had already executed the killer and yet they wanted Kenneth. It is the same for Jeff.” The victim's father, Charles Keeran, also would like to see Wood live. “The death penalty, to me, is the easy way out,” he said. “If you had to be down there and get up every morning, as hot and humid as it is, knowing that you are going to spend the rest of your life locked up under those conditions, that's punishment. That's what I think my son would want for him.” Those Who Are About to Die by Jordan Smith of the Austin Chronicle, July 21, 2008. "Wood did not fire the fatal shot and did not participate in the robbery that preceded the Jan. 2, 1996, murder. Nonetheless, Wood was sentenced to die, based on the state's "law of parties," also known as the "conspirator liability" statute." Save Jeff Wood by Peter Rothber of The Nation
