An answer for Reyna Armendariz

A gang-rapist and killer is executed, and his cousin--along with the government of Mexico--is not happy:

"Mexico's government condemned Texas' execution of Jose Medellin despite a world court order to review the case, expressing concern for the rights of other Mexicans detained in the United States....Medellin was convicted of participating in the gang rape, beating and strangling of Elizabeth Pena, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 14. He and five fellow gang members attacked the girls as they were walking home on a June night, raped and tortured them for an hour, then kicked and stomped them before using a belt and shoelaces to strangle them. In Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where Medellin was born, a small group of his relatives condemned his execution. "Only God has the right to take a life," said Medellin's cousin Reyna Armendariz."

Well, Ms. Armendariz...
Your cousin Mr. Medellin didn't seem to agree with you.
And so he reaped what he sowed.
