Actually, I think we have bilateral agreements with the French that require us to refrain from executing a French citizen, even if he commits a crime in the US and is convicted. They wouldn't even agree to extradite the Unicorn Killer, Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn for twenty years, because they were afraid Pennsylvania was going to kill him. It is only when Pennsylvania agreed to take the death penalty off the table that Einhorn was extradited.

How much you want to bet some hot shot pro-bono lawyer is already ginning up an appeal for Mumia based on his new-found French citizenship.
