LIVINGSTON, Texas (AP) — Three times since early last year, a former Army recruiter has avoided execution for participating in the slaying of a Fort Worth woman a decade ago.
Cleve Foster now has a fourth execution date set for Tuesday evening in Huntsville.
His lawyers have gone again to the U.S. Supreme Court to try to get him another reprieve.
The 48-year-old Foster was convicted of taking part in the killing of a 30-year-old woman near Fort Worth in 2002. But he says he "didn't get three stays for nothing." He believes the repeated postponements mean there's something to his arguments that he's innocent.
His attorneys also say Foster received poor legal help at his trial and in early appeals.
