Jeff Wood will soon be executed in Texas for a murder that everyone agrees he did not commit, because of "accomplice liability".

The article argues that it is wrong to apply accomplice liability to the death penalty. My position is different:

• Accomplice liability for a more serious crime (such as murder during a robbery) should apply only when the accomplice is related directly to that more serious crime, not when some other participant does it on his own sole initiative.
• Jeff Wood had no intention to commit robbery that day, so he was not an accomplice anyway.
• Cooperating in a robbery under duress, in response to a death threat, should not be a crime at all.
• The death penalty is inherently unjust.

Thus, I think Jeff Wood should be freed and given compensation for his time in prison.
