Clearly out of your league too. Another poster on this forum who should be embarrassed for getting something as basic as "chief law enforcement officer" wrong. Birds of a feather.........
"The 38-year-old native of Monterrey wasn't told he could contact the Mexican Consulate after his arrest in the murder of Adria Sauceda. His lawyers say police violated an international treaty by not telling Leal he could have consular assistance."
Yeah, that's not an important detail or anything.
Admit the mistake, have the retrial and if he's found guilty again, go from there.
It is not up to our president to interfere with such things he needs to do the job he was elected to do and keep his nose out of state issues!
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration took the unusual step Friday of asking the Supreme Court to stop Texas from executing a Mexican citizen convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl. The administration said the court should delay the planned July 7 execution of Humberto Leal for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect Leal's case.
Police discovered Sauceda's nude body on a dirt road in San Antonio in May 1994. Evidence showed she had been raped, bitten and strangled. A large stick that had a screw protruding from it was left in her body.
Among other evidence, the bite mark was matched to Leal. Her bloody blouse was found at Leal's home. She and Leal had been attending a party not far from where she was found.

So you just read and then ignore the posts that don't fit your concept of what's right and wrong or what constitutes .. "Federal Government interference"!?
The Important Detail here is the rape and murder of this scum bags victim!
I Really don't give a d@mn that he couldn't cry on the shoulder of some Mexican Consular!
If he wanted to cry on some Mexican Consulars shoulder .. He could have done that 'before' he broke into this country and then committed rape and murder!

Another important detail is following the law when dealing with criminals. Nobody is saying to free the guy, but we can't ignore the laws and treaties we enter into either. They are there for good reasons. You will get your pound of flesh, don't worry.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure that those are arguing with me have the same gut feeling about this guy.

The on topic discussion was about Obama's sticking his nose into a place that it .. Constitutionally doesn't belong!
BTW: You aren't worried about Obama following the law .. are you?
Um. If people don't want to be tried and executed in Texas for rape and murder, they're better off not being here...legally or illegally.
