Execution set for today for Mexican man

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Texas officials cleared the way Monday for the execution of Jose Medellin, one of 51 Mexican nationals on U.S. death row, for his role with five other members of a Houston gang in the 1993 murder and rape of two teenage girls.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday rejected Medellin's request for a reprieve. Medellin, 33, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CDT today.


Star-Telegram

WASHINGTON — As he awaits execution Tuesday for the brutal rape and murder of two Houston teenagers 15 years ago...

Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for the governor, "This is an individual who along with five others brutally and viciously gang-raped, stomped, kicked, slashed, strangled and murdered two young teenage girls. We don’t care where you’re from. If you commit a despicable crime like this in Texas, you’ll face the ultimate penalty under our laws."

"Jose Medellin is nothing more than a poster boy for the death penalty," said Jennifer’s father, Randy Ertman, who now lives in a country residence near Somerville with Sandra, his wife of more than 30 years. "He’s been on Death Row longer than Jennifer was alive."

The execution is scheduled for after 6 p.m. Tuesday. Medellin, 33, has declined the customary last meal and nearly all media requests for interviews, said Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HOUSTON -- One of Houston's most notorious killers is set to die on Tuesday. And with just three days before gang-rapist Jose Medellin is scheduled to be executed, Adolfo Pena, the father of one his victims, says he's counting down the days to justice. “He is still a scumbag to me. And like I said, he deserves to die,” said Pena.

US warns of Mexico protests on day of execution

MEXICO CITY: The U.S. Embassy in Mexico is warning Americans of possible protests next week when a Mexican man is scheduled to be executed in Texas.

(What are they going to do, close the border and stop illegals from entering the US? Order all illegals in the US to sit down on the job? I wish...)

On June 24, 1993, then-18-year-old Medellín and six other young men gathered in a Houston park for a fight that served as an initiation rite into the Black and White gang. After the fight was over, the teenagers were walking along a set of nearby railroad tracks when they passed two young girls, 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman and 16-year-old Elizabeth Peña. The boys grabbed them; the two girls were raped multiple times, strangled, and left for dead.

Hanging should still be available for executing criminals!

bump-bump-bump... and another one bites the dust!

An illegal alien murderer was executed today at approximately 6:00 PM C.D.T.
