humberto leal

This is a follow up to my earlier post today on the Mexican national Humberto Leal. He was put to death this evening following a hard fought stay of execution.  This controversial case even had the White House calling for the state of Texas to stay the execution.

While everyone is upset about about the outcome of the Casey Anthony case there is one closer to home that has caused International turmoil.  Humberto Leal murdered and raped a 16 year old girl and was convicted of that crime in 1995.  He is now facing execution Thursday unless his lawyers can get a stay.
