The Patriot Post® · The Lingering Death of Common Sense

In today’s badly flawed legal system, the criminal is given more justice than are the victims. We have recently been flooded with the trial of Casey Anthony who was accused of the murder of her own little girl.

Again the victim is a little girl, 16-year old Adrea Sauceda who was raped, brutalized and murdered in Texas by a Mexican National, Humberto Leal. Leal is scheduled to be executed in Texas after exhausting all appeals during the years that have elapsed since his conviction in 1995. There is no doubt that the 38-year old Leal is the brutal sadist who tortured Adrea before raping and killing her. The problem here is our own government, Obama, Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton, the usual bleeding hearts. Their dried up hearts cry our for the criminal rather than for the victim. Justice is the punishment of the evildoer, not the exercise of extensive and exhaustive appellate machinations.

There is purportedly some UN-enforced Vienna treaty dating back to 1963 which requires foreign nationals access to their consulates for assistance in their defense. Obama et al are in a dither because Leal did not get to consult with the Mexican Consular officials before or during his trial. Even though there is no evidence that Leal is NOT the killer, the Obama crowd maintains that Leal may have received advice to help him beat the charge.

So far Governor Perry of Texas has not acted. It is absolutely ludicrous that The United States signed on to a treaty to be enforced by the UN. Criminals deserve only “adequate” defense, not the entire judicial system of a nation.

In a report By Edmund DeMarche on Fox News Published July 06, 2011 one of Leal’s Defense attorneys stated,

“If Texas were to proceed with the scheduled execution of Mr. Leal … there could be no dispute that that execution would be unlawful – specifically, in violation of treaty commitments validly made by the United States through constitutionally prescribed processes,” Sandra Babcock, a Northwestern University law professor who is one of Leal’s attorneys, said last week in her appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court"

The Obama administration has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the execution in order for the Congress to have time to consider legislation to enforce the UN Treaty of 1963 as if there had not been enough time, 47 years, to have done so. If there existed ANY doubt of Leal’s guilt, six months would not be an excessive delay.

There is no question that innocent individuals have been convicted and a few put to death; that is most unfortunate and irreversible. Obviously, that is a condition in need of correction. This is not one of those cases. Leal is guilty of a most heinous crime for which death is the proper outcome.
