Still on Texas Death Row, Despite Confession from Co-Defendant

I am a prison rights activist/advocate concerned about the case of Gregory Wright, who is claiming his innocence on Texas Death Row, and who has information and evidence that proves his innocence. Yet he awaits execution by lethal injection. How does this happen in a Capital Murder case?

According to the "Free Greg Wright" website"The State of Texas, and now the 5th Circuit Federal Court of Appeal, has repeatedly denied Greg the right to a new trial at which this issue of innocence, and other Constitutional and procedural matters, including denial of the confrontation clause concerning Adams statement, introduced at the trial; the failure of the State to disclose a deal with a Witness; and the failure of the Court to address punishment issues. This denial threatens to make a mockery of Justice, and brings the prospect of the execution of an innocent man. Greg has been sentenced to death for crimes that were committed and confessed to by John Wade Adams who was also, later, tried and convicted for the murder of Donna Vick. "http://www.freegregwright.com/ I urge you all to go to this site and read the evidence.

Greg is not alone in this matter, as there are numerous other inmates on Texas Death Row who have not murdered anyone and are waiting execution by the state of Texas. The death sentence is not reserved for murder in Texas as it is in many other states, but have and will execute again inmates who are charged by the Law Of Parties, which states:

A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct of another if "acting with intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense he solicits, encourages, directs, aids or attempts to aid the other persons to commit the offense" or "If, in the attempt to carry out a conspiracy to commit one felony, another felony is committed by one of the conspirators, all conspirators are guilty of the felony actually committed, though having no intent to commit it, if the offense was committed in furtherance of the unlawful purpose and was one that should have been anticipated as a result of the carrying out of the conspiracy."
