Perry Defends Mexican's execution

This Perry Defends Mexican's execution article, deals with the story of Humberto Leal, who, a convicted rapist and murderer, was executed by the state of Texas penal system. Claims have been made that he was not made aware of his right to contact the Mexican consulate, breaking an agreement between Mexico and the United States. This matter has even been addressed by the United Nations in Geneva, however in this article, Rick Perry takes a stance supporting what the state of Texas did.  In my opinion, this article does a good job of showing how the state and national governments interact with one another, as well as with other nation’s governments. In this case, I believe Leal was subject to American law, specifically Texas law, due to the fact that his crime occurred in Texas, and that injustice did occur if he was not provided with the knowledge of all his options while dealing with the law, but even so, the Texas government here prevails.  He was warranted a due trial and was found guilty. Although I feel the national government is too big to get involved here, the Texas government seems like it acted appropriately within its laws.
