Texas still plans to execute killer despite U.N. order
The Houston Chronicle reports:
Texas will go ahead with the scheduled Aug. 5 execution of Houston rapist-killer Jose Medellin despite Wednesday’s United Nations world court order for a stay, a spokesman for Gov. Rick Perry said . . .
“The world court has no standing in Texas and Texas is not bound by a ruling or edict from a foreign court,” Perry spokesman Robert Black said. “It is easy to get caught up in discussions of international law and justice and treaties. It’s very important to remember that these individuals are on death row for killing our citizens.” . . .

Stand Tall Governor Perry. If, as I understand, a murder was committed, then the murderer will get the SAME punishment as any convicted murderer here in this country. NO special treatment. A slimeball is a slimeball is a slimeball. Put him down.
