"Medellin's lawyer hopes to stop it, saying client didn't get to talk to consulate"

A Houston man, Dale? Maybe he forgot he was a Mexican too.

[2dogjoe]

I’m hoping I can drive up to Huntsville and enyoy the evening on that day.

I remember hearing about the murders when they happened and this POS deserves to die.

[dainbramaged]

God bless Texas for taking out the trash.

Ping!

Jorge protecting illegals again.

[DoughtyOne]

Well dear lawyer, the victims didn’t get to talk to their families either. Life is so cruel to violent criminals. Boo hoo...

[Joe Boucher]

Once in a while even the Supremes get it right.
Fire up ol sparkey and get the line moving again, double time.
Some of this bilge trash has been waiting over twenty years.

Drop him off in Mexico. A short plane ride, don’t land, no parachute.

[Tex Pete]

Adios, mofo.

President Bush had said Texas should reconsider the Medellin case and others based on the Vienna Convention.

Bush is a major league asshole. For those feint of heart Bush supporters, Bush used these very words to Dick Cheney when pointing out Adam Clymer in an audience.

[My hearts in London - Everett]

"A few days after he wrote the memo, Bush withdrew the United States from the part of an international treaty that gives the International Court of Justice final say in international disputes."

A president can withdraw the US from "part" of a treaty?

[Ron H.]

After this PoS meets up with the Texas executioner and our law is carried out then contact the Mexican consulate so they can come and claim Mr Jose Medellins body, fair enough?!

[Question_Assumptions]

For crimes like this (any murder involving torture or rape), I wish they would reinstate the concept of outlaw, the removal of a person's legal rights as a human being, and then hand them over to the family or anyone else who wants to take a shot at them.

[Secret Agent Man]

I have followed this case for a long time. I will be toasting his death August 5th. Not that I know him or that he killed anyone I know, but that American justice will be meted out on this guy who almost slipped out of it due to pleas to the UN by Mexico at the very last minute.

However, Medellin's attorney, Sandra Babcock, said she expected to stop the execution, based on concerns about international justice agreements between the United States and other nations.

Screw that. If "other nations'" people commit capital crimes on our soil, they will face the justice of our soil.

If you don't want 'em executed, then keep them at home in your own nation where they belong.
