interview with kenneth

On Wednesday, Austin's NBC-affiliate, KXAN, traveled to Livingston to interview Kenneth. It appears in its entirety at the link below.

 

The first segment is what aired on the evening news, including statements from the LaHood family (they are still very much in favor of Kenneth's execution). In the reporter's hand is a stack of petitions calling for clemency for Kenneth; they had been delivered to the Board of Pardons and Paroles earlier that day at a press conference called by the Save Kenneth Foster Campaign.

On Tuesday, the Save Kenneth Campaign hosted a roundtable discussion at an Austin library. The panel included Beverly Fisher, Kenneth's first cousin; Delia Perez Meyer, sister of Texas death row inmate Louis Castro Perez; Jeannine Scott, wife of Texas prisoner Michael Scott; and Professor Dana Cloud, activist and member of the Save Kenneth Campaign. The discussion was well-attended and in the video footage aired on KXAN that night, you can see the DRIVE logo for a fraction of a second
