As the lethal injection began taking effect, the Mexican National convicted of the brutal rape and killing of a teenage girl in 1995 shouted, “Viva Mexico!” just before he died at a Texas prison.

Efforts by Humberto Leal’s attorneys to halt the execution fell short, with the U.S. Supreme Court turning back a stay request and Texas Gov. Rick Perry refusing to grant a pardon. He was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m. local time.

In his last minutes, Leal repeatedly said he was sorry and accepted responsibility.

“I have hurt a lot of people… . I take full blame for everything. I am sorry for what I did,” he said in the death chamber.

“One more thing,” he said as the drugs began taking effect. Then he shouted twice, “Viva Mexico!” at a Texas prison.

Leal, who moved to the U.S. as a toddler, contended police never told him he could seek legal assistance from the Mexican government under the treaty—and that such assistance would have helped his defense.

Details of the murder were particularly gruesome.

Adria Sauceda, 16, his victim, was found naked by authorities, according to court documents.

“There was a 30- to 40-pound asphalt rock roughly twice the size of the victim’s skull lying partially on the victim’s left arm,” court documents read. “Blood was underneath this rock. A smaller rock with blood on it was located near the victim’s right thigh.”

A “bloody and broken” stick roughly 15 inches long with a screw at the end of it was also protruding from the girl’s vagina, according to the documents.

Last Friday, the Obama administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stop Texas from executing Leal, asking the court to delay the execution for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would enforce the U.N. treaty.

Too bad they didn't cut his filthy tongue out prior to execution.

Good riddance.

Moron. If Mexico is so great why'd you move to and stay in Texas?

President Obama actually called Gov. Perry and asked him to acquit the animal of the death penalty!

Perhaps an executive order could clear up that 9.2% unemployment rate.

I assume you realize that the USA does NOT have an official language, nor are people required to speak any particular language?

I *suspect* that it was purely a campaign move.

Umm, no, he did not.

Obama asked for a delay of the execution, not letting the guy go. That ain't an "acquittal."

The idea was that by executing a foreign national in the US, other nations might feel free to execute US citizens being held in their countries.

BTW, President Bush did the same thing a few years ago, for the same reason, with the same results.

Obammy wanted to save a kindred spirit.

Obammy is just being what he is.
