Texas is scheduled to execute its ninth prisoner this year today as death row inmate Cleve Foster, 48, fights for a last-minute stay from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Foster was convicted in 2002 of helping his roommate, Sheldon Ward, kill a Fort Worth, Texas, woman and hide her body in the woods. Ward, however, wrote a death-bed note before he died in prison saying that he'd acted alone, and Foster had nothing to do with the murder. Foster maintains his innocence.
