Court halts Texas execution of ex-Army recruiter
U.S. Court News | 2011/09/20 08:53
A former Army recruiter who for the third time this year was hours away from his scheduled execution for the rape-slaying of a woman in Fort Worth nearly 10 years ago was granted yet another reprieve by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

Cleve Foster, 47, was set to die Tuesday evening in Huntsville.

The high court twice earlier this year stopped Foster's scheduled lethal injection. The latest court ruling came about 2½ hours before Foster could have been taken to the Texas death chamber.

Foster was meeting with one of his lawyers in a small holding cell a few feet from the death chamber when a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman delivered the news.

He thanked God and pointed to his attorney, saying this woman helped save his life, prison spokesman Jason Clark said.

He also said Foster repeated his insistence that he was innocent.
