Mexican, American, Icelandic, Chilean .. I don't care. He kidnapped, raped and murdered a 16 year old girl. Justice WAS served as prescribed by current law. IMO.

Bunch of hypocrites. The Mexican government could care less if their citizens are flooding into the U.S. but they cry when we hold onto one of them. Drop the charade will ya?

All these people whinning about him not being read his rights. Who fuckin cares. He knows what he did. He's a rapist/murder and should be slaughtered just like all the rest of the scum like him. He wasn't read his rights when he was arrested cause he wouldn't have understood what was being told to him anyway.

Glad to see good ol texas still ain't afraid to fry a man!!!

Never apologize for a genuinely held point of view.

The crazy thing here seems to be that this is more of a case of American v. international law, than a case of whether or not he deserved his punishment.

Leal, 38, was convicted of raping Adria Sauceda, a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio, and then fatally strangling and bludgeoning her with a 35-pound piece of asphalt in 1994.

Is there a line or something that I need to stand in to piss on this guy's grave?

The world is a much better place. Stop the bleeding heart bullshit. If you commit this kind of crime you should be erased from the world. Harsh shit but very much earned. Ciao baby!!!!!

imo a civilized society doesn't commit murder.

Executions are in my view engaging in the very act you're punishing the inmate for. You're doing it also on the taxpayers dime. There's also the problems of cost being more than life imprisonment, being poorly and painfully administered, and having innocent people in line to be executed. Since most people don't get off death row my guess is from time to time we kill an innocent person.

No one seems to care though. Everyone just has an emotional sense of relief when someone dies for something that is unfortunate, sad and irreversible.

Can someone explain to me how the death penalty costs more than keeping a guy in jail until he dies?

The greatest costs associated with the death penalty occur prior to and during trial, not in post-conviction proceedings. Even if all post-conviction proceedings (appeals) were abolished, the death penalty would still be more expensive than alternative sentences.

That is so true.

They should just throw his body in a pit with a bunch of starved coyotes, so they can turn him into coyote shit.

Don't mess with Texas. They'll kill ya.

Everyone knows how tough Texan Justice is. So if you choose to do horrible crimes there, you have to expect you're going to get your ass kicked.

Come on. A rational society knows some people have to die!

It doesn't.

They are also hypocrites for building a wall and telling America they are wrong for building their wall.

Hypocritical Mexico is now building their own wall on border with Guatemala...press ignores Article

Death is quick and over in a matter of seconds he should have rotted in jail.

Y'all already know how I feel and what my stance is: Cruel and unusual punishment for cruel and unusual criminals.

Some people MUST pay the worst consequences possible, as they so freely force the worst upon any and everyone they choose. I'm all for having a fair trial, but if you confess or get found guilty of heinous crimes of murder which include torture, sexual abuse, dimemberment, etc... It's not fair for that person to live on tax payers dime.
