I'd like to see the U.S. government get busy and stop MX extradition which prevents the death penalty.Murder is murder and as much as I support the death penalty being given to Eric Davila for the haneous crimes at Village Creek, Ms. Stevenson and those babies,Reyes, the killer of Miss Griffin, the murdered college student,Reyes isn't special and he too should have to die..he's slick and he knew to kill, burn the body and then hurry to MX to avoid the death penalty. This stinks.
