TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
RAY JASPER, a rap artist born in the Netherlands who was 18 when police say he and two others committed a 1998 robbery in San Antonio in which the owner of a recording studio was killed. The other defendants received life sentences. Jasper's appellate attorneys argued that a potential juror at his trial was excluded improperly because he, like Jasper, was black. They also said Jasper had inadequate legal help at trial.
