  • The Jeffery Wood Case
    ENGL 1101 Student: Stephanie Ryals Teacher: Annalee Edmondson Death by Association: The Jeffery Wood Case “A system that will take life must first give justice.”— Former ABA President John J. Curtin, Jr. Our human lives are brief. Once taken, they can never be retrieved. Therefore, if a life has to be blotted out, the justification for this action must be legitimate. An unwarranted execution is equivalent to an unjust murder. The Law of Parties, section 7.02 of the Texas Penal Code, states that codefendants may be held criminally responsible for each other’s actions if they acted as co-conspirators, even if one defendant commits a spontaneous felony without his codefendant’s consent (Penal). In layman’s terms, the Law of Parties upholds the view of guilt by association. This is the law under which Jeffery Wood has been convicted. In 1996, two men, Daniel Reneau and Jeffery Wood, were convicted on the charge of premeditated homicide for the murder of Texaco Gas Station Clerk Kris Keeran during a staged robbery in Kerrville, Texas (Fears 2A). Interestingly, however, Wood was not even in the gas station at the time of the shooting. Rather, he was anxiously waiting in the getaway car while Reneau stormed into the gas station to rob the station’s safe (Fears 2A). When Keeran failed to respond quickly enough to Reneau’s demands, Reneau shot him with a .22-caliber handgun (Fears 2A). Hearing the gunfire, Wood ran into the building. It was at this point that Reneau, holding Wood at gunpoint, threatened both Wood and his family as he ordered him to remove both the safe and surveillance camera (McCann).

  • 2020 WORLD DAY REPORT Why Have a World Day on the Right to Effective Legal Representation?
    2020 WORLD DAY REPORT Why Have a World Day on the Right to Effective Legal Representation? The aim of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty (‘World Coalition’) is to reinforce the international dimension of the fight against the death penalty. Its ultimate objective is to achieve universal abolition of the death penalty. In those countries which still use the death penalty, the World Coalition is working to reduce its use, invoking in particular, the respect of international standards. Since the creation of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty in 2002, significant progress towards the universal abolition of the death penalty has been achieved. Numerous states which maintained the death penalty have abolished it in practice or have restricted its use. Every year on World Day, the World Coalition highlights one problematic aspect of the death penalty. On 10 October 2020, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and abolitionists around the world celebrated the 18th World Day Against the Death Penalty. The 18th World Day Against the Death Penalty explored the theme “Access to Counsel: A Matter of Life or Death” in light of the continued execution of individuals who struggle to have adequate support from the State (in having access to a trained, experienced attorney, to have adequate time to mount a defense, etc), who consequently also face their challenges in the judicial system. Having access to qualified and effective representation at all stages of a trial is important to ensure due process and can spell the difference between life and death for people facing capital punishment.
