He wasn't denied access to the consulate. He never brought the issue up at trial.

He was supposed to be advised of his right to consult his consulate.

If a native-born criminal goes to trial without a state-provided or other attorney and is convicted without being represented in court, any conviction will be overturned, even if the police testify that "he never asked for an attorney."

You’re straining at gnats.

I hope they use a solar-powered `lectric chair on this [expletive deleted] cholo; it takes longer-—6-7 hours-—but earns the great State of Texas carbon credits . . . .
