IIRC, he was in Mexico at mama's house and a Texas Ranger negotiated with mama to bring her son to the border. However, I cannot remember if the usual 'no executing the extraditee' position held by the Mex. govt. was waived or otherwise voided.
Fair enough...still, what is Senor Presidente going to do when El Tookie takes the needle later tonight? Throw a tantrum and send more illegals?
And no Dionysius, much to your disappointment, he wasn't caught coming trying to come across the border.
The police tracked down Reséndiz's sister, Manuela. Manuela feared that her brother might kill someone else or be killed by the FBI, so she agreed to help the police. A Texas Ranger, Drew Carter, accompanied by Manuela and a spiritual guide met up with Reséndiz on a bridge connecting El Paso, Texas, with Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
Reséndiz surrendered to him.
The state of Texas tried Reséndiz for the murder of Dr. Claudia Benton. He was found guilty and was sentenced to death by lethal injection.
