#3 Thanks to the Great State of Texas. Told Bush and the World Court to shove it. Texans will never take shit off Mexico until they are over run by illegals and voted out of house and home. After he has shit on the state for years, I wonder how GW has the balls to go back. I've read that even the people he grew up around in Midland are pissed that he's allowed and encouraged West Texas to be over run by Mexicans. In times past, they would have lynched Georgie right along side a whole passel of his new found friends and drove the remainder back across the border the next day.

#4 And from the boo-hoo curcuit...

In Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where Medellin was born, a small group of his relatives condemned the execution."This is another murder because no one has the right to take someone else's life, only God," said Medellin's cousin Reyna Armendariz.

Guess your cousin didn't get that memo, huh?

A large black bow and a banner that read "No to the death penalty ... may God forgive you," hung from an iron fence in the front of the house where Medellin lived before moving to the United States at the age of 3.

Ah, he "moved" here...

Armendariz said the family hopes Medellin's body would be return to Mexico."He signed a paper saying he wanted his remains to go to a friend. Who knows if they will bring him here," Armendariz said sobbing.

Send him back in a trash truck.

#5 Isn't that your attorney's job to inform you of the various international treaties that apply to your case? I don't think the local police are trained in international treaty law. I have some big problems with some of the things police are doing these days, but this is beyond their training and expertise. They can't give legal advice, it's against the law.

#7 And what would the Mexican consulate have told him that his lawyer wouldn't have? "Don't say anything; it can be used against you in court". Oh, wait, that is part of the standard Miranda warning in the US.

#8 Good for Texas! As for Mex and the World Court, this is a big poke in the eye for both of them, and a well-deserved one at that.

#9 The Mexican government deports illegals they find, pronto! No appeal, no long checklist of do's and don'ts. If Americans murdered, raped, and assaulted Mexican citizens in their country proportionately in a manner their citizen do to ours, you'd be sure the citizenry would replace the government that didn't execute them.
