Texas is set to execute on Thursday Mexican national Humberto Leal Garcia for the rape and murder of a teenage girl, defying pleas by the Mexican government and President Barack Obama to delay it because his consular rights were violated

Just curious, I don't know much about this case but I'm going to assume that since this verdict has been pending since 1994 that all other avenues of appeal have proven fruitless. IOW, he's guilty and there isn't any doubt about it.
So this nonsense about not getting access to the Mexican consul is just some kind of legal shenanigans intended to circumvent the administration of justice that this scumbag so richly deserves, correct?

Perry has essentially told the UN and O to stick it.

[Gator113]

Good. I almost missed it.

“Lets see now. He raped and murdered a little girl, but other than that, he’s a darned nice guy. After all, Barack Obama likes him. What better endorsement could one have?”

A blatant maneuver by the Obama Nazis to gin up the Mexican-American vote. Shameless for sure...

Lets see, in six minutes he will be confronting the Ultimate Judge.

Just learned about the case myself today. They explained the crime in detail on the radio. Let me just say it involved sodomy and a stick with a screw protruding from it. It was a brutal killing.

Sorry for the dbl post but lightning just struck my place and my hand jerked.

Here’s the report that the media has forgotten about.

By a 5-4 vote along ideological lines, the Supreme Court

The SCOTUS is an abomination.

There is no rule of law, only what a bunch of appointed for life unaccountable degenerates in black robes decree.

If they cant be unanimous on this (and it could have just as easily went the other way depending on what Kennedy had for lunch that day),if 4 of 9 will support a murderer at the request of a democrat justice department and would change their vote the other way if the request came from a GOP Justice dept, then it is a danger to the American citizen that makes the camel jockey ragheads in the middle east pale by comparison.

Breyer, Ginsburg, Kagan , and Sotomayor are nothing more than marxist stooges installed by fellow travelers and confirmed by socialist crook democrats and spineless coward Republicans.

All they need is one more dependable comrade and all hell is going to break looos quite unexpectedly.

Have a Taco in hell Leal, you'll have company, the 4 douchebags who voted for you will be there one day too.

Adria Sauceda: the name of the raped, tortured and murdered teenager. I wonder if Obama even knows her name.

[free me]

All hell make break loose anyway when they “rule” on obamacare.

[chesley]

Why is news in Europe? Do we interfere with their absurdly lenient justice system? Heck,no. That’s their problem, and this execution is nobody’s problem but the executee’s.

Interfering, atheistic church-ladies, every one of them.

[Rome2000]

Got that right.

Will mark the beginning of the next civil war if the marxists win that one.

[free me]

Hard to see it any other way.

So is this dirtbag dead yet?

Is Rachel Terry’s (victims mother) long wait for justice done?

[native texan]

I thought the execution time was 6:00

[Terry Mross]

By now he has said hello to “St. Peter”.

I know...I’m in Texas...central

Time to end this sorry experiment in humanity. He deserves all the compassion that he showed his victim (none at all). It was not his first time to commit a vicious crime, either. He’s earned his fate, now let him be paid in full.
