Time is running out for Cleve Foster
Sunday, 27 January 2008
Cleve (Sarge) Foster, a 21-year Army Vet, was wrongfully convicted of Capital Murder and sentenced to die by lethal injection, in the state of Texas.
The man that committed the murder, Sheldon Ward, has given a full confession, exonerating Cleve. Yet he still sits and waits his turn to die.
Cleve was convicted because of a take-out cup from Whataburger restaurant, that was found at the crime scene. He had frequented the restaurant the day before. There was no DNA of any kind found on this cup.
The jury was informed that the cup was found approximately 50-60 yards from the victims body. What they DIDN'T hear, was that it was also approximately 80-100 yards from a main highway.
The detective, during the trial, reported that there was no blood at the crime scene, meaning the victim was killed elsewhere and the body carried by two men, and dumped in the wooded area. The crime scene photos show exentensive blood, as well as blood spatter all around the body.
The jury only saw two crime scene photos during the trial. One was an aerial view of the area, the other was of the victim, taken approximately 50 feet away from the body. The jury was never aware that there was blood at the crime scene.
Cleve Foster did NOT commit this murder. Time is running out. Please spread the word about his case, and help us, to help him.
