An inmate convicted of killing three teenagers while they slept in a Texas Panhandle home more than 25 years ago is facing execution amid allegations that his trial was marred by racial bias
John Balentine, a Texas inmate who shot and killed three teenagers in 1998, is set to be executed Wednesday. His attorneys attempted to appeal his execution, claiming racial bias.
John Balentine (pictured), 54, received a lethal injection for the January 1998 shooting of Edward Mark Caylor, 17, Kai Brooke Geyer, 15, and Steven Watson, 15, at a home in Amarillo.
