An Eye for an Eye

Mark Stroman, a 32-year-old stonecutter from Dallas, entered Texas' death row for the murder of his third victim Vasudev Patel, an Indian immigrant and gas station owner in Mesquite, Texas; in the three weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Stroman also shot and killed Waqar Hasan, a Pakistani immigrant in Dallas, and partially blinded Rais Bhuiyan, a gas station attendant, in the erroneous belief that all three men were Arabs.
