Foster began examining what he calls "practices of embrace" when he and Ted Brelsford, a doctoral student at Emory, conducted research on three multicultural congregations in the Atlanta area.

Circuit Court of Appeals described the trial as "in essence a swearing match between Mr Foster and his wife", in which Cecille Fuller’s post-conviction alibi evidence, bolstering Charles Foster’s version of events and undermining Eula Mae’s, must be given weight.

Circuit judges voted to deny Foster’s appeal, ruling that he had not proved that the outcome had been prejudiced by his lawyer’s performance.
