You would be surprised at NPR and how they tried to spin his story!

And finally, the Mexican government says that Leal was provided lousy counsel by the Texas public defender's office, and that had it know of the charges, the Mexican government would have provided Leal top-flight lawyers and experts, which it believes would have made a big difference in this death penalty case.
FOR WHAT? He killed the woman and raped her! Sick.... that's what we're dealing with, Mexico is corrupt from top to bottom, to think they would try to get a guy off from a capital murder case when he was an 'ANCHOR BABY - brought here at 2 years" and then he's got Mexican rights?
At least Obama gave the ghastly affair a touch of diplomacy by asking a higher court to at least review his case. If he was found to be responsible than he shouldnt have committed the crime in the state of Texas knowing that Capital Punishment could apply.
Maybe this POS President shouldnt defend scum that Rapes , Tortures and KILLS someone else's daughter.
Save your "Liberal" tears for 2012 !!!
Maybe you should concern yourself with the law, and not those who stand accused. The law is more important than any crime the accused may, or may not have, committed. Without it you can not properly ascertain ones innocence or guilt. Once it has examined the case in detail, to everyone's satisfaction, then Texas can get on with it's execution.
Politics. Unlike the last President, who could not do this, it sometimes involves listening to others.
Here's hoping the execution triggered San Jacinto-style flashbacks in the Mexican national consciousness.
Mexico should shut the hell up and cease its thinly veiled attempts to influence U.S. policy. They are a third world backwater effectively run by a few corrupt strongmen and drug cartels. And they have the arrogance to dictate to us?
If you love your citizens so dearly, my beloved Mexico, PLEASE TAKE THE 20 MILLION WHO BROKE INTO OUR COUNTRY BACK. Thanks.
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.
too bad so sad, if the criminal does not wanto to do the sentence, then he should not have done the crime. obama should stay out of state affiars and stick to federal affairs. tough crap, dont like it, then go away and leave texas be.
If Obama's actions here make him a traitor in the eyes of the conservatives...then surely they can agree that George W. Bush deserves the same judgment.
We do. GW Bush was terrible when it came to illegals coming here to do whatever they pleased.
2. Thanks to Texas's actions Americans can be executed overseas and the US Embassy can't intervene
If an American goes illegally into another country, brutally rapes and murders a 16 year old girl in that country and is given a fair trial and executed -- GREAT!!!
Screw Mexico. If Malia was abducted,raped and murdered with a concrete block and left with a stick protruding from her vagina how would Obama react?
