put a message out there for all who want to hurt the innocent good job law enforcement!

And now the issue will come up that Mexico will not extradite someone who faces the death penalty; which means that unless prosecutors take the death penalty off the table, they won't send him back. When are we going to quit letting Mexico dictate to us how we prosecute murderers? With all of the aid going that direction, I would think the time has arrived for this country to put some pressure on Mexico and "convince" them to allow us to bring murderers back from that country and let them face our laws; however "inhumane" Mexico thinks they might be. Mexico certainly isn't a bastion of civil liberty.

Actually all the prosecutors have to do is charge him with an extraditable crime that doesn't have the death penalty...say some sort of robbery charge. And once they have the scumbag back across the border and they "further review the evidence", THEN they can charge him with first degree murder. If he hasn't been charged with any crime that leads to the death penalty, Mexico will have its hands tied and will have to extradite him.

Anyway, that is how I would do it. But you know what? I don't believe in the death penalty...it is TOO easy (and there is always the possibility of a mistake). I want to see more super-max prisons built. This would provide good jobs for the unemployed AND more importantly, it is a "living death". The guilty can then spend the next 30-70 years "contemplating their sins". This is far worse than any death penalty!
