Innocent Man on Texas Death Row set to be executed tonight-2/3

Texas Death Row Prisoner Faces Execution Tonight for Murder He Didn't Commit

A thirty-five-year-old man on death row in Texas faces execution tonight for a murder he didn't commit. Jeff Wood is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6:00 p.m., unless Governor Rick Perry grants him clemency. Wood was an accomplice in a 1996 convenience store robbery. He was sitting in a truck outside when the clerk was shot and killed. The man who pulled the trigger was executed six years ago, but Wood was given a death sentence for the same crime under the Texas law of parties. We go to the prison where Jeff Wood is awaiting death to speak with his wife, mother and father outside. We also speak with Liliana Segura of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty.

According to the first video, Jeff tried to convince his friend not to bring the gun. HE was then surprised when he heard the gunshot. so he didnt know there was a murder going on.

@MattieTorbett yer but all these idiots think theyld get away with it

[MattieTorbett]

does this make sense?

Me and you are broke and we know a fail safe way to make some money and get away with it. I tell you to wait in the car. I go in shoot the guy and you're put on death penalty. don't say you wouldn't do that. God forbid you'd ever have to be that poor.

After listening to his old man talk....now i know why he is called a retard....fucken inbred

[MrRafael4116]

If anything he did this man a favor by reuniting him with his daughters. But I don't know if he was actually repented for his crimes, heinous by any account! If I was in this situation I would be eager to go home and see them.

HIs pal Daniel Reneau was put to death on 06/13/2002

Last Meal: 1 tray of French fries with salt & ketchup, 1 tray of nachos with cheese and jalapenos, 1 cheeseburger with mustard & everything, & one pitcher of sweet tea

I wounder what his vitcim last meal was?

This Ex- party law. IF you are stupid enough to go to rob a store Hey you get whatever. If Wood is that much of a moron maybe he should be put to death.

[JOSYMOL]

Hold on.... You are telling me that 2 gys planned to do a crime which resulted in a dead of a person and that just because the other guy pull the trigger, that the other one is not guilty and it should be call innocent?

That doesn't sound innocent to me. If it was my son who would've got killed by the robbers, I would want them both robbers to fucking die. But being a person who belive in God, no one should be killed by the law after the criminal has been captured. But the guy is still guilty
