(1.) The US Senate hasn't approved the Vienna Conventions, now 41 years old.,
(2.) Leal had been in Texas from age two and was 21 when he committed the heinous crime in which dental records and a mold of his specific bite radius matched 100%. DNA and the victims blood where found on his bathroom where he had thrown his bloody shirt. The same mixture on concrete was found on his pants and his shirt that matched the piece of concrete he used the beat the girl to death with. The stick that was impaled into the young girl's privates had his fingerprints and semen on it. The autopsy
also had his DNA and semen on the young girl.
(3.) Before his capitial murder trial, the Government of Mexico, when offered the return of the "Mexican
National", the Government said that the gentleman in question was considered a US citizen, subject
to the laws of Texas.
Obama played election year politics with this issue to pander for Mexican votes. I wonder if he called the victims family and told them what he was doing for a filthy piece of scum that lived longer on death row than the age of his victim.
