Texas executes a Mexican National convicted of Murder after the Supreme Court turned down an appeal by Obama and the Mexican Government to spare him.
Humberto Leal, a Mexican National illegally living in this Country since he was a young boy, was convicted of murder and sentenced to death for the 1994 murder of 16-year-old Adria Sauceda, whose brutalized nude body was found hours after he left a San Antonio street party with her. She was bludgeoned with a chunk of asphalt.
Just before the execution, Leal admitted his guilt then yelled "One more thing," he said as the lethal drugs began taking effect,...Then he shouted twice, "Viva Mexico!"
Really inconceivable that President Obama would go to bat for a convicted murder until you look at the long held Democratic use of race,..in this case Hispanics, too further their goals of sucking up to various special interest groups to sway voters.
The Obama administration and the Mexican Government, in other words that low life Calderon, had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to delay Leal's execution so Congress could consider a law that would require court reviews in cases where condemned foreign nationals did not receive help from their consulates. They said the case could affect not only foreigners in the U.S. but Americans detained in other countries. The court rejected the request 5-4. Its five more conservative justices doubted that executing Leal would cause grave international consequences, and doubted "that it is ever appropriate to stay a lower court judgment in light of un-enacted legislation."
What Obama and his cohorts failed to comprehend is that new legislation enacted now cannot be retro-actively applied. What are they thinking? I know what Obama is thinking,...that the law doesn't apply to him. But I have news for him,...his title is President (and that is temporary - ending in Jan 2013),...his title is not King like he thinks it is.
Mexico's foreign ministry obvious condemned Leal's execution and have long complained about Capital Punishment in the U.S. Seems to me that Mexico could use a little capital punishment, especially for the murderous Cartels members who routinely kill people each and everyday in Mexico.
Adria Sauceda's mother, Rachel Terry, told San Antonio television station KSAT her family already had suffered too long. "A technicality doesn't give anyone a right to come to this country and rape, torture and murder anyone," she said.
Yes Ma'am, you're right and that's the way Texas saw it as well. Oh, one more thing........Viva Texas!.....and Justice to Murderers.
