The 47-year-old Skinner is to die Wednesday evening in Huntsville for the fatal bludgeoning of his 40-year-old girlfriend, Twila Busby, and the fatal stabbing of her two adult sons, 22-year-old Elwin Caler and 20-year-old Randy Busby.
All three were killed at their Pampa home on New Year's Eve in 1993.
Skinner long has insisted he's innocent and that he was passed out on a couch, sick from alcohol and codeine use, when the killings occurred.
