The “World Court” isn’t looking for a flaw in the case, the world opinion is that the death penalty is “wrong”. Not so much public outcry against the gang rape and murder of two teenaged girls.
The victims were hispanic too so there is no racial element to this seeking punishment. The father one of the girls publicly speaks out these days that he agrees with the punishment.
You nailed it. This is nothing more than an attempt by death penalty foes to stop these executions. They claim the poor fellows weren't advised that they could contact their consul, as if that would have changed anything.
Texas will do the right thing and carry out justice in accordance with their laws.
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.
Unless it is applied by Iran for "crimes" like blasphemy and apostacy.
