The Law of Parties is an arcane law used in Texas that convicts defendants of capital murder regardless if intent is proven. The Law of Parties was never intended to be used in Capital Cases. Texas has over 100 men and woman charged with capital murder sitting on death row waiting to die for a crime they did not commit. You will meet some of these men and women here.
In the wake of all the media attention geared towards DNA and mental competency issues, inmates with other legitimate innocence claims are being unjustly sentenced and forgotten about. People sentenced under the Law of Parties are among such claims. ~ Keith Hampton ( attorney for Kenneth Foster)
