Posted on by

In April 1999, John Balentine, a Black man on trial for murder in Amarillo, Texas, sat before an all-white jury as they deliberated whether he should live or die.

Should he be given a life sentence, in which case he would probably end his days behind prison bars? Or should they send him to death row to await execution?

Balentine had been convicted days earlier of murdering three white teenagers who had threatened to kill him because he was romantically engaged with one of the teenagers’ white sisters – an interracial liaison widely frowned upon in heavily segregated Amarillo. Now

Identification of evidence lacking in a murder case, the lawyer says

Posted on by

The lawyer for the double-murder suspect Gerald David Benn said Monday there’s no evidence to identify his client as the gunman in the fatal shootings of two Calgary men.

And defense counsel Andrea Urquhart argued even if there was, there’s nothing in the Crown’s case to show the gunman planned the deadly attack and the accused should only have to answer a charge of second-degree murder.

Urquhart made the comments in a directed verdict application before Justice Nick Devlin at the conclusion of the Crown’s case in Benn’s trial on two counts of first-degree
