of the Texas House Committee on Calendars HB 2267 Would
Prohibit Death Sentences Under the Law of Parties. Sample Message (change it to your own words)
“Hello, I am calling to urge Representative X to vote in the Calendars Committee
to send HB 2267, the Law of Parties bill, to the floor of the House for a vote.
HB 2267 would require separate trials for co-defendants in capital trials and
would prohibit the state from seeking the death penalty for people who do not
kill anyone but are convicted under the Law of Parties. I do not believe
it is fair to sentence someone to death, like Kenneth Foster was, if they did
not kill anyone. Thank you”. The Law of Parties allows people who "should
have anticipated" a murder to receive the death penalty for the actions of
another person who killed someone. A person sentenced to death under the
Law of Parties has not killed anyone. They are accomplices or co-conspirators of one
felony, such as robbery, during which another person killed
someone. Please contact your own state representative and
at least some of the committee members on the list below. You can find out who
your own representative is at http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us Members of the House Committee on Calendars Rep. Brian McCall
