HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles votedThursday to recommend that Gov. Rick Perry spare condemned prisonerKenneth Foster's life.Foster was to die in the state death chamber in Huntsville tonight forbeing the getaway driver in the 1996 attempted robbery and murder ofMichael LaHood in San Antonio.The vote from the seven-member board was 6-1. Perry doesn't have toaccept the highly unusual recommendation from the board, whose membershe appoints.There was no immediate response from the governor's office.The scheduled execution outraged death penalty opponents, whocriticized his conviction and sentence under the Texas' Law ofParties. That makes non-triggermen equally accountable for the crime.Foster would join a number of other condemned prisoners executed underthe statute, including one put to death earlier this year.
