Why? What kind of nonsense is this?
Justice delayed is justice denied.
I think this thing is on hold awaiting a decision by the SCOTUS.... If they don’t rule before midnight then things will have to start over.

Jose Medellin is in a holding cell near execution chamber.
The warrant for his death expires at midnight tonight. If the high court rejects the request for the stay before then, he will be executed. If not, a judge will reset an execution date, but must wait at least 30 days.
Oh give me a break. What justice is there for the poor victims?
Our justice system is one great big joke.
The victims get no justice. Every last drop of justice is preserved for the jackals who live among us. And when they’ve drained that last drop, a new pitcher is nearby.
I guess we’re now a ward of the World Court.
Altogether now folks, bow down and give honor where honor is due.
Sovereign nation? What a joke...
When I was a kid, America was a sovereign nation like the Indian reservations are now. NOBODY told us what to do! Especially a bunch of artsy-fartsy, European girlymen. I sure do miss those days.
too effing bad....should have been in Mexico if he wanted MEXICAN representation....FRY HIM!
This confuses me..... but hey, I’m just a nobody, and the Supreme Court is, well, Supreme.
It’s crazy how rapist murderers get support from the leaders of the world, but victims of violent crimes, and their families, are ignored and told to get over it.
Oh what the crap didn’t this already go to SCOTUS and they rejected it?
I told my wife a little while ago that I was born 100 - 200 years too late. The America we have become is an insult and an embarrassment to the America we once were, warts and all.
I think I’m gonna be sick...
execution is on! 5-4; http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/medellin-opinion-8-5-08.pdf
Was this a multiple-justice decision or a single judge like, say, Ruth Ginsberg?
Pilar @ Aug. 5, 2008 at 9:13 pm This case only demonstrates how uncivilized are the poeple from the U.S. Pure segregation!!!!
The obligation of the State of Texas, was to inform Medellin about Mexican Consulate intervention, he was only 18 years old and this is not the first case of this kind of law violation agains mexicans.
Medellin did a terrible thing to those girls and we ask God´s mercy and forgiveness as he didn´t find it in Texas. Perry gave a prize to Medellin, he´s already in a better place than you all are, full of hate and ignorance.
I hope Medellin´s death gives peace to the soul of this 2 poor girls parents, unfortunatelly I don´t think so. They have to forgive, not to kill.
Do you feel better after Husseins death? Do you have your twins towers back again? and all the poeple who died there is alive right now?
I don´t think so, stop killing people!!!!
Patience, people. All good things come to those who wait.
This would be an excellent test to tell the SC to go to hell and execute this rat. What can the Court do? Call up it’s army and invade Texas. It is time to remind the Court they have a responsibility to just shut up if it cannot respect the people of the State of Texas.
So, Medellin requested access to a Mexican consul, but his request was denied?
Court denies Medellin’s request for stay of execution!!!!!!
