Jose Medellin is scum (apologies to all the scum out there). He and his cohorts brutally raped and sodomized two innocent girls who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, then with cold blood, murdered the two girls by strangulation with a leather belt so hard that the belt broke. The six thugs then kicked the girls repeatedly to make sure they were dead. Medellin then lifted a watch off of Elizabeth Pena as a present to his girlfriend, laughing to his fellow gang members that "She won't be needing this anymore."
What is telling is that information that led to the six being brought to justice was provided by members of the gang's own families.......they didn't want to see the parents suffering the way that they were suffering on TV.
Peter Cantu, another gang member scheduled to die for the murders, repeatedly tried to kick at a television camera when being filmed at his arrest.
What troubles me is that the USSC applied "international law" when making the decision that two of the murderers were underage at the time of the murder and could not be executed. I am against the death penalty, but all six of these thugs deserve a short drop from a rope.
I can't even say "May God have mercy on his soul."
