TAMPA, Florida: A man who has been convicted 10 times for three separate slayings is scheduled to die for one of them, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday.

"Unless an appeals court or the US Supreme Court steps in, 53-year-old Oscar Ray Bolin will be executed Thursday evening for the 1986 slaying of Teri Lynn Matthews," the report said.

A Florida district court denied a stay of Bolin’s execution, saying the death-row inmate had failed to establish evidence that would have exonerated him.

AP quoted Bolin's lawyer, Bjorn Brunvand, as saying he has filed another motion with the district court and an appeals court. The appeals court denied the motion. If all appeals are denied, Brunvand said he’ll appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Last year, 28 convicts were executed in the US.

According to Death Penalty Information Center, a total of 1,422 convicted criminals had been executed in the United States since 1976. The highest number was in 1999 when the lives of 98 convicts were snuffed out.
