Holy crap! I love my home state (insert sarcasm as I no longer live in Texas)! The World Court suggests that it might be a good idea to examine the evidence again, indicating that there’s probably a flaw somewhere in the system and they might be about to execute a man without giving him access to the Mexican Consulate (which they were supposed to do once he was detained originally). But instead of saying, “Yeah, you’re right. We did violate the rules,” they give them the finger and say, “If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to direct them toward this brick wall.”

You missed the last quote (wherein an understandably upset father seems to think the execution is a concert). Priceless:

Adolfo Peña, father of Elizabeth, a 16-year-old girl Medellin also raped and murdered, concurred with Ertman.

“I believe we’ve been through all the red tape we can go through,” he told the Houston Chronicle. “It’s time to rock and roll.”
