EXECUTED - Jose Medellin - Texas Death Row - Scheduled Execution : Pro Death Penalty Information - Scheduled Executions
After reading about the crimes, I was happy that Jose Medellin and the other gang members got the death penalty for what they did to these girls. It seemed ridiculous to me that he and humberto leal (another murderer in a different crime in texas) both tried to use their immigration status as leverage to get out of the death penalty.
Anyways, I just needed to share my opinions about this case , it's been bothering me all day since i was reading in newspaper about the 2012 candidates, and it mentioned Rick Perry's go - ahead for the death penalty for these cases, so I was reminded of it and looked it up.
With the case of humberto leal, it was gross for me because the house party that it all started with the girl being gang raped by party goers then taken away by leal was actually near my mother's fiance's house in San Antonio (he has passed away since, but his old house.)
I'm not always for the death penalty, but for crimes like this...I find i am. Makes my blood boil that they would boast about committing such a brutal rape and murder! And how Medellin said in a pen pal request from an anti death penalty site, "I made an adolescent choice"
This shows his sheer lack of remorse for what he did. "An adolescent choice" is doing something stupid , not gang- raping torturing and murdering two young girls!
