I wonder if this will make it more difficult to extradite criminals from Mexico back to the US?

One of their people murdered a Border Patrol agent not too long ago and the Mexican government let him go about a month ago.  It doesn't matter what the Mexican government thinks, they're not going to respect our laws regardless.

World Court, aye.
It's another one of those situations where the emerging World Government wants to take away the sovereignty of the USA. :furious


Y'know 'cause it's not like the US has ever tried to interfere with the justice system of other nations in the past or anything. :rolleyes:

"Texas executes Mexican-born killer


HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Texas has executed Mexican-born condemned prisoner Jose Medellin for the rape and murder of two teenage girls 15 years ago.

The average time for an inmate to be executed, once assigned to death row, in Texas, is 10.2 years.  I think the longest time an inmate was on death row was 24 years.  It is disgusting.  Should not be more than 10 days.

Just a tidbit.  Texas, California, and Florida (not necessarily in that order) lead the states with the most number of inmates on death row.  Texas leads in the number of executions.

At least Texas and Florida carry out their executions. Death row inmates in California are more likely to die from old age than they are lethal injection.

Ten days max seems fare enough.  If it was I think the crime rate may drop and the prisons wouldn’t be full.

Over 100 innocent men have been cleared from death row in the past 30 years. Almost none without private assistance. 10 days could be tragic.

I don't think the death penalty is much of a deterrant for these types of individuals there going to do what they do knowing full well what may be waiting for them. Other country's process them a lot quicker & guess what? idiots still keep murdering people. That aside it still is the most certain way they will never commit a crime again.

When it is very clear that the scum did the murder, 10 -14 days is enough.
