Looks suspiciously like a thread yesterday. Maybe this will get more than token response. Otherwise the answer is no.
This is just so much legalistic mumbo-jumbo. FWIW, it boils down to this - Medellin commits the crime and later confesses to it. He’s convicted and sentenced to death. His lawyer comes up with this legal hocus-pocus to try to deflect the obvious . . . . . that his client is guilty and deserves to die.
However, just for fun, let’s pretend that he HAD been able to contact the Mexican Consul. Would the two teenagers he sodomized and murdered be alive? Would it change the fact that he confessed to committing the crimes and killing two innocent girls? The answer is “no”.
About the only part of this story that is correct is that the Texas Court of Appeals claimed that Bush had overstepped his authority no standing in the case (which, as President, he didn’t - it’s a State’s Rights issue).
Bush’s globalist viewpoints have done a disservice both to him AND to his admninistration. I have been a big Bush supporter, but Jorge’s policies on immigration and his determined position on helping to establish the NAU have put me off.
