That's not an issue, we wouldn't extradite. It is an issue when the perps have fled to their native country. Were that the case here, Mexico (and most European countries) wouldn't extradite one of their citizens. to the US unless the death penalty was waived. I'd support Holder's action if that were the case, I'd like to see him do it across the board where perps have successfully fled, but there's no indication that's the case here.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was working from vague memory of this question coming up for death penalties for foreign nationals. And not enough tea so my brain has not jump started yet.
And maybe it is the cynic in me but I really don’t see these criminals as good targets for successful rehabilitation. And I see the likelyhood of them recruiting in prison as being very high. And those who are likely to spread their poison are in my mind a double threat and therefore better candidates for death penalty.
