It took 15 years to kill this filthy dog after what he did to those girls, and the article says his case gained attention because he (allegedly) wasn’t allowed to call the Mexican consulate. I have no printable words.
It’s even better than that. He didn’t even ask to call the Mexican Consulate. If he’d asked, he would have been allowed to. He was not denied his call.
In fact, he didn’t even bring this up until AFTER he was convicted. Nice, huh?
Good riddance. In Texas, “death” means death. Period.
Actually it is even worse than that.
He wasn't prevented from calling the Mexican Consulate, he just wasn't told that he could.
Why in the world does it take so long to execute these animals?
CNN keeps repeating that lie. Neither the defendants nor their lawyers were prohibited from contacting the Mexican consolate. They never requested any contact with the Mexican consolate. They only made an issue of this in the automatic death penalty appeal. How are the police even supposed to know that a prisoner is a foreign national if that person does not volunteer that information? There are lots of US citizens in Texas who speak Spanish better than English, and there are some localities that prohibit the police from calling ICE to determine the immigration of prisoners in custody. If they aren't allowed to find out that information, how the hell are they supposed to know that a prisoner is a foreign national?
