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.
wheres judge roy bean when ya need him ?
Ah for the days of vigilante justice.
Hhe murders and American citizen , and now American citizens are going to have to flip the bill for this scum’s life imprisonment . The USA has gone loco !
“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.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
If I was her dad he’d get his and nobody could stop me.
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.
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.
I was afraid someone would stop by to stroke their e-peen.
Not exactly a new revelation. At least he will be in the US and tried..........

Restrictions
Most countries require themselves to deny extradition requests if, in the government’s opinion, the suspect is sought for a political crime. Many countries, such as Mexico, Canada and most European nations, will not allow extradition if the death penalty may be imposed on the suspect unless they are assured that the death sentence will not subsequently be passed or carried out.
I got that part. And instead of bringing a murderer to justice (albeit with the death penalty off the table), we should declare war on Mexico.
If that girl had been a relative of mine Ernesto would get the death sentence the minute he came back across the border. Mexico may have a no-death penalty extradition agreement with the United States, but it doesn’t have one with me.
maybe si, maybe no..... por que tengo gente en Mexico.
yo se como pagar la mordida y a jugar con los locos.
I don’t speak French, sorry.
wee-wee....lol
No, we should tell them to extradite with no conditions, or they won’t get a penny and we’ll put a travel embargo against them like we did Cuba.
It’d hurt their resorts at Cabo and Acapulco.
And when we get this guy back and put him on death row anyway,.
Where does some turd-world banana republic get off telling us they won’t extradite a piece of criminal filth if we execute them? That’s meddling in our affairs, which to me IS tantamount to an act of war.
BTW, there is no justice in any murder case if the murderer isn’t executed. That should be the automatic penalty for murder everywhere, every time.
Giving them life ain’t justice.
Why do we sign such restrictive treaties with these girly men Euros and third-world banana republics? We can insist they remove that demand, or we could make life very difficult for them.
They have no right meddling in how we dispense justice, especially when their criminal-coddling justice systems stink.

This is nothing new. It was one of those Treaties Jimmy Carter signed when he was President.
