Mexican Denied Consular Rights Faces Texas Execution Tonight

1331 views

The Obama administration has urged Texas to delay tonight's execution of a Mexican national, saying it would put the U.S. in breach of international obligations. Humberto Leal Garcia is set to be executed for the 1994 kidnapping, rape and murder of Adria Sauceda, a 16-year-old girl. After his arrest, Leal was provided with court-appointed lawyers but never informed he could have access to Mexican consular officials, as is required under the United Nations' Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Leal's family still maintains he is innocent and defense attorney says his case was also hurt by inadequate counsel by his court-appointed attorney. Barring a last minute stay by Texas Governor Rick Perry or the U.S. Supreme Court, Leal is set to be executed at 6pm. We speak with Humberto Leal's attorney, Sandra Babcock..

    Texas Murderer Kimberly McCarthy To Face Rare Female Execution On Tuesday

    Kimberly McCarthy will become the first victim of a rare female U.S. execution in more than two years if she gets a lethal injection Tuesday in Texas as planned.
    McCarthy, now 51, was convicted of stabbing a neighbor to death in 1997, and Reuters reports that the Death Penalty Information Center says the death sentence she received for the grisly crime will make her only the 13th woman to be executed in the United States since 1976, when the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty.

    McCarthy became infamous in the state of Texas when she was convicted of killing her 71-year-old neighbor, Dorothy Booth, inside Booth's home on July 21, 1997, after asking if she could come inside to borrow some sugar.

    After killing Booth, McCarthy proceeded to cut off Booth's left ring finger and stole her diamond ring, which she sold to a pawn shop, Reuters reported.

    The Texas attorney general stated that McCarthy also is a leading suspect in the bludgeoning murders of two other elderly women, according to Reuters.

    McCarthy was convicted and sentenced to death by a Dallas County jury in 1998, according to Reuters.

    The last time a woman was executed in the United States was when Virginia killed Teresa Lewis on Sept. 23, 2010, the Death Penalty Information Center said.

    'Although women commit about 10 percent of murders, capital cases also require some aggravating factor like rape
