Good. One less scumbag on Earth.

This man raped, then killed a teenager. I think he deserved it, but it's a shame that it took this long to get him executed.

Um, yes? Unless you're entirely apathetic to the whole death penalty issue, you're bound to have an opinion.

What should we follow your statement with?

I don't know, you tell me.

Fine I'll do it: Death sentence is abhorrent no matter who it's applied to. Even Hitler. There. This discussion is already at Godwin's law.

It's such a shame that killing people costs more than keeping them alive in the penal system. I never understood that.

I say good riddance. If we set an example for what happens to whomever murders and/or rapes, then there would be significantly less murders and rapes IMO.

This wasn't an eye for an eye. They didn't give him to the guys in prison that HATE rapists. That would've been an eye for an eye. This is justice.

This guy didn't just rape a 16 year old girl. He killed her after that. People like this, deserve no mercy, and yes I'd say the same thing if the person in question was my brother or son, because under no circumstance would they commit something like this.

Why did it take 17 years for this to happen? He should have been taken out back and shot in the head with a rifle the minute he was found guilty.

why can't we just execute people by shooting them and feeding them to wild animals or something, or throwing them in a furnace?

You're right, he wasn't raped or assaulted first. Or do you want to elaborate on your "counterpoint?"

To everyone saying this an eye for an eye, it's not.

An eye for an eye, would be the court ruling that he get raped first, before being clobbered to death with a chunk of asphalt. As much as I'd love for that to happen, it's not justice.

Opinions, I guess. But let me ask you this, if this isn't justice, what is? I'm sure as hell not comfortable living with someone like this on the streets.

Anything besides killing him. I feel like a life in jail would be a better punishment anyways. I personally think killing someone is too immoral and too "easy" for the person being punished.

A life in prison costs a lot of tax payer money. So does execution by lethal injection, that's why i think a rifle would be a lot easier and cheaper :)

Well by killing him you're showing America is fine with violating international treaties and thus you're putting Americans abroad in danger. Whether you think killing criminals is right shouldn't be questioned with this particular trial because this was just a really, really dumb move. I mean I know Rick whatever his name is is a complete moron usually but this was just an awful idea.

No. The whole world has an expectation that it's citizens will be referred to their respective consulates if they get in trouble in another country, which Texas failed to do in this case. Which is funny considering Texas' tendency to deport illegal immigrants anyway.

I mean, hell "In 2005, President George W. Bush agreed with an International Court of Justice ruling that Leal and 50 other Mexican-born inmates nationwide should be entitled to new hearings in U.S. courts to determine if their consular rights were violated. The Supreme Court later overruled Bush."

What the hell Supreme Court?

I think you're overlooking why this even made the news in the first place, it wasn't so much he was given a death sentence for his crimes as much as his execution was carried out against international law by him not being allowed to contact the government of his home country for legal help, it's a law we're supposed to abide by so that our own citizens can receive the same treatment abroad if any of our citizens are arrested.

I am glad I live in a country that doesn't have a death penalty.

That said, if your going to have one, it should be a fast one, the costs are massive.

Imagine the money that would be saved if it switched to 'at dawn' the average wait on DR in some states is 20 years, whats the point?

Because death row prisoners are legally entitled to a number of appeals through a myriad of processes, and courts take a long time to view them and answer them.

Well, there is also the aspect that both Obama and the Mexican government were pushing the Texas governor to order a stay of execution. This time, Obama and Mexico did not get their way.
