A Mexican national was executed Thursday for the rape-slaying of a teenager after the U.S. Supreme Court turned down a White House-supported appeal to spare him in a death penalty case where Texas justice triumphed over international treaty concerns. Humberto Leal, 38, received lethal injection for the 1994 murder of Adria Sauceda. She was fatally bludgeoned with a piece of asphalt. Leal was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m. EDT (2221 GMT).

The full Supreme Court decided? If so, I imagine a 5-4 vote.
Can you imagine the storm that would have ensued if Obama stepped in and commuted this killer's sentence from death to life in prison?

"The legislation would give Mr. Leal an opportunity to demonstrate that with consular assistance, he likely would not have been convicted, let alone sentenced to death," Sandra Babcock, a Northwestern University law professor and one of Leal's lawyers, said. There's something uniquely perverse about this point of view. It's as if they're saying to hell with his guilt or innocence, he needs an even chance to beat the rap.

What a barf of a friggin headline. 100% of the time, the headline represents the liberal line. How about a headline that said something like "texas executes CRIMINAL ....."

So far nothing on what went on as in what was his final words. Maybe he was crying and screaming too much. Hopefully.

He couldn’t; he doesn’t have the power of clemency over a state inmate.
