World Court: U.S. must delay Mexican death sentences

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The World Court ordered the United States on Wednesday to do all it could to halt the imminent executions of five Mexicans until the court makes a final judgment in a dispute over suspects' rights.

Five Mexicans who have been given a fair trial have been sentenced to death in the state of Texas. But the major question at hand now is that was there a lack of consular assistance for the five Mexicans, and would the lack of consular assistance have changed the outcome of the trial. There are very few who believe that this would have changed anything. Plus, this was never brought up during sentencing or trial, so it is too late to bring it up.
But, never the less the World Court says they want the deaths, scheduled for later this year, to be delayed. But why, if it is too late anyways then what is the point. The point it five lives are at stake. This should be taken into the most particular review that there is. Texas has had the most execution of any state. What I feel the best thing to do is ask the men who are sentenced whether they would like for this to be taken into more review, if not, then ignore the matter. Or at least do not let it extend their lives more.

No matter what the case, life must be respected to the utmost degree.
