The US has now forfeited the same rights for US citizens arrested abroad.In so doing the US has regrettably joined a select club of banana states on par with Iran.

Just remember this...No matter what you bleeding heart liberals think or want to believe, the US is still the strongest, meanest and toughest country in the world. You beloved "banana states" cannot say that!
Just let other countries try to screw with us just because we wouldn''t capitulate to their wishes to save a HORRIBLE un-repentant murderer.

Yeah, you libs would LOVE to see the US cower before the "world court" or any other anti-American court.

Maybe the rest of this country and the world understands Texans a little better now. Its REAL SIMPLE:
If you want to commit crimes, DONT COME TO TEXAS !!!!

I recall George Wallace and his showdown with President Kennedy when segregation was ended. It placed Alabama with crowning honors for depriving civil rights and opposing change to correct it.

Today, I feel it appropriate to pass the crown from Alabama over to Texas for depriving people of their civil rights. Constitutional guarantees are precious for all citizens and aliens who set foot on this country''s soil.

The final disposition of the Medelin case was premature and the defendant should have been given access to his homeland embassey to arrange adequate defense during his prosecution. The outcome may have been the same, or whose to say it may have been different.

The State of Texas never honored this person''s constitutionally guaranteed right to seek his homeland consulate to request legal help. Texas violated the 1963 international treaty that allowed it.

There are third world countries with better legal systems than Texas. This misstep is just plain unforgivable!!!

You folks who come out supporting a cold blooded rapist and murderer are pathetic bags of monkey S**t!! I say we put to death TOMORROW, every single person sitting in jail who committed a double murder. No ifs, ands or buts, lets just cut the cord on these scum bags. To say that putting to death this type of scumbag is "not nice", really needs to wake up to the real world.

[rosieod4prez]

WonderYman - yeah - well just don''t gang rape two 15 year olds, torture them for an hour, kick them to death, AND brag about it while in Mexico, and I suspect you''ll be ok.

The US has now forfeited the same rights for US citizens arrested abroad.
So a Texan arrested in Mexico is from now on stripped of the right to US consular assistance in connection with his trial?
In so doing the US has regrettably joined a select club of banana states on par with Iran.

From his statements, it sounds like the man found religion after he realized I had made the mistake of his life (and theirs).

May God have mercy on his soul.

Now if we can only get the other 29,999,999 ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS to leave.

Obviously, an example of an enlightened, tolerant, Liberal.

In other words, an imbecilic arse.

"Medellin, 33, was condemned for participating in the 1993 gang rape, beating and strangling of Elizabeth Pena, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 14. He and five fellow gang members attacked the Houston girls as they were walking home on a June night, raped and tortured them for an hour, then kicked and stomped them before using a belt and shoelaces to strangle them.
Their remains were found four days later. By then, Medellin already had bragged to friends about the killings."

I think in addition to the horrendous crime these men did to these girls, it''s a crime that it took 15 years to put any of them to death. All these men should have been put to death to face judgment for their actions. Does anyone know what happened to the other criminals? It may have said in the story but I didn''t read it all.

#1 Why is this man not an American citizen?
#2 If he is an American he doesn''t need to talk to anyone other than his lawyer.
#3 If he isn''t a citizen why are we letting him stay here.
#4 What are the time limits on visa''s?
#5 Capital crime is capital crime. Every country in the world condems murder.
#6 Our legal system is a business. Don''t forget it.

cbscrash07,
Personally, I like your idea. It brings back some funny memories of a situation I had several years ago. I was screened for a jury that was to hear a capital case. A father and son were being tried for alledgedly torturing and killing a man when he interrupted them during a burglary of his home. In capital cases in California, there are two phases. The guilt or innocence phase, and, if the defendent is found guilty, the penalty phase. I was asked if I would be able to make my decision regarding the penalty (assuming the case made it that far) according soley to the rules given me by the court. I responded that I didn''t know how I would make my decision, but that I might decide to just side with the wishes of the victim''s next of kin. The jugde lectured me at great length about "how wrong this would be". To this day, I don''t believe there''s anything wrong with that approach, and I find the Judge''s words somewhat humorous. BTW, I was thanked for my honesty and excused from the case.

LibsLoveToSpit,
You and I both know (or should know) not all hispanics are alike, and not all hispanics are bad people. Sure there are a few bad apples in the bunch, just like there are a few bad apples in every demographic, including yours and my own. Rather than making derogetory remarks about everyone of hispanic ancestry, and assuming they''re all alike, it would be much more productive to look at the things you don''t like seeing people do, and make sure you''re not doing any of them yourself. I suggest to you that making such generalized remarks might mean you''re not being very observant of your own behavior.

Personally I would have preferred that they turned over the convicted murderer to the family for some quality time.
