Lawyers and Dems Protests Gov. Perry for Not Halting Execution of Mexico-born Murderer


An international alliance of legal professionals and Democrats are putting Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the hot seat for the state’s refusal to halt the execution of a Mexico-born murderer.

“If you commit the most heinous of crimes in Texas, you can expect to face the ultimate penalty under our laws, as in this case, where [murderer Humberto] Leal was convicted of raping and bludgeoning a 16-year-old girl to death,” Perry’s press secretary Katherine Cesinger told TheDC.

“Other than a 30-day reprieve, the governor would have to receive a favorable recommendation from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant clemency in any case,” she said, adding that “the governor has not yet made a final decision on this case, which is still pending before the courts.”

The lawyer-led alliance wants “to increase their own influence and power,” and they’re using the scheduled Texas execution to restrict the authority of U.S. politicians and courts, and to create a new layer of legal appeals, said Todd Gaziano, the director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Legal & Judicial Studies.

    Just exactly what rights did that scumbag illegal piece of crap give the victim??? He is not an American citizen and he was convicted in a court of law. Screw the traitorous bas—d lawyers and judasbama. America is for Americans! Not illegal aliens. He did get a fair trial. There is nothing the mexican government could do to help this murderer during his trial and nothing they could do except appeal to judasbama for intervention of justice.

    JUSTICE DENIED WHEN MURDERERS ARE NOT GIVEN EXPRESS CHECK OUT. THE 16 YEAR OLD GIRL LIVES ONLY IN THE TEARS OF HER PARENTS AND FRIENDS. HER LIFE STOPPED AT 16. NO FAST FOWARDING TO FALLING IN LOVE. RAISING A FAMILY AND BRINGING YEARS OF JOY TO MANY. HER CRIME WAS BEING HELPLESS. WE FAILED TO PROTECT HER. IN MEDFORD NEW YORK A JUNKIE ROBBED AT GUNPOINT A PHARMACY CLERK TRYING TO EARN A LIVING. HE ROBBED 4 LIVES.

      ABUTOM, Thank you, I agree completely.

    HE DID NOT HAVE TO KILL ANYONE. HE HAD HIS DRUGS. INSTEAD HE KILLED THE CLERK. A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO FILLED IN FOR A FRIEND ON FATHERS DAY. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE HER DAD? A 72 YEAR OLD MAN PICKING UP MEDS FOR A SICK WIFE. NOW SHE HAS NO ONE. A 33 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH TWO KIDS AT HOME. SHE WAS GETTING MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS STARTING LIFE OVER.
    THE LAST TWO IN THE DOOR HE SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. IF EVERY ONE HAD A GUN SOMEONE COULD HAVE SURVIVED. THE JUDGE THE JURY AND THE HANGMAN SHOULD ALL SHOW UP FOR THE TRIAL. THE GUILTY SENTENCE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT THE SAME DAY. COST TWENTY FEET OF ROPE. A STRONG TREE LIMB AND ONE RENTED HORSE. IF YOU CAN'T GET A DONATION. TO THE COMMUNIST ATTORNEY WHO SAYS BETTER 1000 CRIMINALS GO FREE THAN CONVICT ONE INNOCENT MAN. I SAY LET THEM ALL LIVE WITH YOU.TO THE COMMUNISTS WHO SAY WE MUST OBEY THE HAGUE OTHERWISE AMERICANS OVERSEAS WILL NOT GET FAIR TREATMENT. I SAY IF THEY BROKE THE LAW BY SMUGGLING DRUGS AND TOLD YOU THEY HAVE RIGHTS. I DARE YOU TO KILL THEM. YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS.

    AllRight Gov Perry! Finally someone with the brains and b_lls to Stand Up and Do the Right thing! Obama wouldn't want to hault it if it had happenned to one of his daughters. Justice Served. Now, about the matter of Impeachment for High Crimes and Treason….

    If lawyers, democrats and their fellow travelers had their way, all criminals and illegals would be free to run this country in the same way obama and his lawyers and democrats are running it now. That's why we absolutely MUST get these criminals OUT of the government, as well as OUT of OUR country! One can always hope – but it takes work and YOUR vote to do it. Get busy!

    To much talk about this. Turn him loose to the inmates and let them rape and beat him to death. Save the taxpayers money and justice is served………..

    Now we will have to tell any terrorist they have Miranda rights and legal advice from their home governments? Really now?
    Does this have any place in our legals system, or will Sharia laws be included next?

  • FIREOBAMA

    MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE SENT THIS PIG OF A MEXICAN TO LIVE WITH PELOSI AND HER DAUGHERS AND GRAND DAUGHTERS. I DIDNT HEAR ANY OF THEM SAYING THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THIS GUY UNDER THERE WING.

    That man gotmwhat he had coming , the bad part was it took to long, and with the actions of his family they should be sent a bill for all legal, appeal, commitment cost and the cost of putting him the death. If they have no money they should be deported without hast. Frederick Bronson

    I HOPE THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO STOP THIS EXECUTION SHOULD HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO A FAMILY MEMBER AND THEN SEE HOW THEY FEEL. RAPE AND MURDER BY AN ILLEGAL AS FAR AS MANY ARE CONCERNED HAVE NOT RIGHTS. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHTS OF THE YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS RAPED AND MURDERED. THIS ILLEGAL ONLY RIGHT WAS TO BE REPRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. ALL OF THESE LIBERALS AND THE OBAMANATION SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE CLOSE TO THEM HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN.

    I support and salute governor Perry and the great state of Texas for instituting strong law and their decision to execute the convicted murder. This action represents true justice for the people and society. I believe scum bag’s last words were VIVA ME-HE-KO. The lowest human waste form of garbage he was is now in HELL.
