Jose Medellin is one of 51 Mexicans on death row across the US who contend they were denied prompt access to their home country's consular officials after their arrest, a right guaranteed by the Vienna Convention.

I think this is a very unjust execution. I know Medellin. His crime was horrific. BUT Texas VIOLATED his RIGHTS when HE WAS ARRESTED!

I think at best a life sentence would fit his crime. He has never denied doing the crime.

This makes me sick.
