" Federal prosecutors said the 22-year-old American citizen from Laredo was a hired assassin or “sicario” for the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel."

Ah...you can take the boy out of Mexico, but ya can't take the Mexico out of the boy. Many of these gangbangers are anchor babies and products of the last amnesty. They have no allegiance to this country and its laws.

I’m still puzzled as to what makes a murder punishable by death vs life - this is Texas, right? Those two should have been given the death sentence ....

He should have gotten death. Big tall tree, short stiff rope...with 6 weeks to appeal, and then carry out sentence.

Or, line him up and just shoot him.

Seriously, this type of animal scum is not worth the time or effort to keep him breathing.

Anybody got any idea what the motive for the kidnapping and killing of the two Americans was? It seems unlikely a 14 year old would be a big player in the drug trade.

I thought Texas had the death penalty.
