I am in Mexico watching the national coverage of this on television. Mr. Medellin says everybody commits “errors” when they are young, and since he was 18 at the time of his “error” he should be forgiven. The interviewer asked him if he had decided on what his last meal would be. He did not want to answer the question, and then when asked about what his last words would be, he said he did not think about those things.
As for access by US citizens in foreign jails, that is not what is at stake here. Mr. Medellin did have access to the Mexican consulate, eventually, and was given a fair trial. May God have more mercy on him than he had for Miss Pena and the other young (16 and 14) year old girls.
Call me old fashioned, but an “error” is using drugs, or speeding. An error is not gang raping 2 young girls (14 and 16), then strangling them.
That just proves he has no conscience.
how absolutely disgusting... on top of that, i am sick of society thinking of 18-30 year olds as kids... this guy was a man at the time of the murders...
