Parole board rejects Barnes plea ahead of death row execution
Attorney Barry Macha calls new evidence claims an 11th hour attempt to manufacture facts. Barnes, 31, is scheduled to die shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday for the murder beating rape and stabbing of Wichita Falls resident Helen Bass in 1989. The Oklahoma survivor of an earlier attack says she feels relief at his execution. A French group Fight for Justice has pushed for a trial review, while Jack Lang visited Texas to discuss the case.
