Father of victim says U.N. body's order 'don't mean diddly'

Texas is refusing to bow to yesterday's World Court order to stay the Aug. 5 lethal injection of convicted rapist-killer and illegal alien Jose Medellin.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office rejected Mexico's complaint.

"The world court has no standing in Texas, and Texas is not bound by a ruling or edict from a foreign court," Perry spokesman Robert Black said. "It is easy to get caught up in discussions of international law and justice and treaties. It's very important to remember that these individuals are on death row for killing our citizens."

Randy Ertman, father of Jennifer, a 14-year-old girl Medellin raped and murdered, criticized the World Court for attempting to intervene.

"The world court don't mean diddly," he said. "This business belongs in the state of Texas. The people of the state of Texas support the execution. We thank them. The rest of them can go to h-ll."

Adolfo Peña, father of Elizabeth, a 16-year-old girl Medellin also raped and murdered, concurred with Ertman.

"I believe we've been through all the red tape we can go through," he told the Houston Chronicle. "It's time to rock and roll."

I’d only heard about the one’s on DR. Forgot there were others.

Does anyone know if Joe’s parents and sibling were brought up on immigration charges?

I know they testified at the trials.

Arnold and Rick are more alike than you care to know.

The NEW Republicans...RINOs.

Don't know what status of Jose's parents are. Medellin's younger brother, 14 at the time of the rape/murder was sentenced to 40 years and was held in TYC until he reached 18. At that time he had a hearing which could have released him, held him until he was 21 by the TYC or sent him to prison in the general population. TYC recommended retaining him to age 21 but he judge blew that off and sent him to prison to serve his remaining time.

Derrick O'Brien was executed in July 2006 and the other two Villareal and Perez got life after the SCOTUS 2005 ruling that you couldn't execute anyone who was under 18 at the time of the crime which both of these guys were 17.

The following are the two girls raped and murdered by this bunch.

Jennifer Ertman, 14

Elizabeth Pena, 16

See if there’s any remorse from this punk.

We need a photograph of an international food court in some mall which happens to be called “World Court”.
