A new radio pro­gram, Execution Watch, is pro­vid­ing live cov­er­age and com­men­tary on days that Texas exe­cutes a death row inmate. Each show will air live start­ing at 6 pm Central Daylight Time at http://​www​.kpft​.org or http://​exe​cu​tion​watch​.org with a wide vari­ety of spe­cial guests and host Ray Hill. The pro­gram­ming is avail­able through the Internet. On its upcom­ing broad­cast, the show will cov­er issues relat­ed to the case of Jeffrey Wood, who is sched­uled to be exe­cut­ed on Aug. 21. Wood was con­vict­ed and sen­tenced to death under Texas’ ​“law of par­ties” even though he did not par­tic­i­pate in the actu­al mur­der com­mit­ted by an accom­plice to the rob­bery. Listeners may find archives of past shows at http://​exe​cu​tion​watch​.org and find Texas’ exe­cu­tion sched­ule at www​.tdcj​.state​.tx​.us/​s​t​a​t​/​s​c​h​e​d​u​l​e​d​e​x​e​c​u​t​i​o​n​s.htm.
