John has lost his appeal. Potter County is seeking another date. From the article:
The Supreme Court Monday denied a Certiorari review for John Balentine, which means his stay of execution has been terminated.

Prosecutors have secured the third execution date in more than a decade for an Amarillo man convicted in the 1998 killings of three Amarillo teens, according to court records.

John is set to be executed on August 22. Hoping for another stay! The article is here.

So is this date actually still set? I was hoping there had been another stay, because there is no mention of that date on either Rick Halperin's page nor on the tdcj-page (which states it has been updated April 27).
I'm very sorry to hear that!

Not on Rick Halperin's page, but on his email list, he did send out that message:

April 21


TEXAS----new execution date

John Balentine has been given an execution date of Aug. 22; it should be
considered serious.

Does anyone know if there is any legal action pending? Is a stay at least possible? I have not been able to learn anything about Mr. Balentine's case.

The 5CA has denied John's petition. The decision is here.

I've the creeping horrors when I read that ice cold legal jargon in which they made a life and death decision. It is a human life that's on the line, not some such abstract legal principles

Unfortunately,Milkyway,you are right...the U.S. Supreme Court rarely even grants certiorari these days, and rarer still finds in favour of defendants.

John Balentine has only four days left...my thoughts are with him and his supporters.

Thank you for your prompt answer. I am wondering if a stay from the Supreme Court is still possible. This already happened in 2011.

Please start contacting Govenor Perry to protest the execution of John Balentine. The contact info is here. They do keep track of these calls. It matters!
