- A man convicted of targeting three gay men who had befriended him before he bludgeoned and suffocated them during an eight-month crime spree in 1994 is scheduled to be executed in Florida on Thursday.
Bowles pleaded guilty and a jury in 1996 sentenced him to die for the first-degree murder of Walter Hinton in Duval County two years earlier. His death sentence was overturned by the Florida Supreme Court, but a new jury sentenced Bowles to death in 1999. According to prosecutors, the murder of Hinton was not the first for Bowles. In March of 1994, Bowles killed John Roberts, 59, who also let him live in his home, they said.
