Actually, the issue is that this piece of human debris didn’t get to consult with his consulate before trial or something to that effect. If TX execute him, this may put American abroad in the same situation - unable to contact their consulate while being held for a crime.
Of course, I doubt it occurred to this piece of trash to ask. Most Americans know enough to demand to speak to their consulate as soon as they are arrested.
An any case, waste the bastard. Americans abroad will have to take their chances.
This man was not DENIED contact with his consulate. He and his lawyers never made the request.
A foreign nation which would DENY an American who requests audience with his consulate would be a different thing.
