Fraser found guilty in 2017 stabbing death of Cody Foster

Foster’s sisters will always miss and remember him, they say, but this is the first time they’re able to look ahead now that the legal process is over.

Fraser is 58 years old now, and will be given a life sentence for Foster’s murder. But it will be up to Supreme Court Justice Len Marchand to determine a parole eligibility period next year.

Foster was stabbed to death in his Dallas trailer in February 2017, after he and Fraser had spent much of the afternoon together one Saturday.

On the stand, Fraser told his side of the story — saying Foster instigated the altercation by threatening to kill him. Fraser said he feared for his life when Foster made the alleged threat, so he grabbed a knife before a struggle led to him stabbing Foster numerous times.

But as Crown prosecutor Alex Janse pointed out in her closing arguments, there were no defensive wounds on either man. She said this meant there was no two-sided fight.

The jury began deliberating yesterday morning, and by 8:00 p.m. they retired, knowing a decision wouldn’t be reached. They reconvened at 9:30 this morning, and two hours later they had a decision.

Now that the trial has concluded, Janse hopes it will give some closure to the family.
