Mexico to extradite man accused of killing college student[in Texas]

DALLAS — Mexico has agreed to extradite a man accused of killing a Dallas-area college student whose burned body was found behind a suburban office complex, officials said.

Ernesto Reyes of Denton will not face the death penalty as a condition of his extradition from Mexico, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office said in Wednesday's editions of The Dallas Morning News. He will probably be in Dallas by the end of the month, officials said.

Melanie Goodwin, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Texas, suffered several blunt-force injuries. The Arlington teenager's body was set on fire and found behind an office building in Carrollton in September.

Reyes was arrested by U.S. marshals in October as he left a relative's home about 200 miles north of Mexico City. Since his indictment on a capital murder charge, the U.S. Department of Justice has been working with Mexican officials on an extradition agreement.

A friend of Reyes was charged with tampering with evidence in the case.

“Ernesto Reyes of Denton will not face the death penalty as a condition of his extradition from Mexico,”

That’s right! Only US citizens can get the death penalty....now tell me we don’t excuse illegal aliens and give them more rights than we have....and for what? To keep Mexico ‘happy’....right!

Thanks Jorge. You are doing a real good job giving everything to Mexico while sacrificing Americans to murderers.

Here’s hoping his cellmate, Big Bubba, makes him wish for the death penalty.

Apparently, you prefer not bringing the suspect back at all. Would that satisfy your priniciples?

For every fugitive Mexico refuses to extradite, the US should withhold $1 Billion of foreign aid, payments, grants or whatever the hell we call what we’re giving them. Let’s see McQueeg make that pledge!

And lest you misunderstand, you have two choices (and only two): 1. return him here and not subject him to the death penalty, or 2. let the Mexicans handle it on their own.

I'm sure with the right travel agent I could go find him and bring him back to justice or some facsimile of justice.

Just like I could set up a non-profit organization and offer scholarships to children of convicts with supplemental living expenses for inmates that are traumatized by the torture and death of a cell mate from Denton. (I'd like a specific recipient)

And when they refuse to extradite U.S. fugitives from Mexico, what happens to your plan?

They don’t get their money. Eventually, these fugitives will asume room temperature under mysterious circumstances. Money is more powerful to politicos than conscience and the life of one of their citizen is below monetary value in their eyes...you should know that.

Best clear it with Gaffer first, because if you get caught you will rot in a Mexican prison.

Since when do we have to honor such agreements once we have ‘em?

Mexico can go pound salt.

The we go in and take them by force, like Patton went in and took Pancho Villa’s henchman Cardenas in 1916.
