Treaty with Mexico takes death penalty off table for Terry murder suspect

That’s because, by treaty, “When the offense for which extradition is requested is punishable by death under the laws of the requesting Party and the laws of the requested Party do not permit such punishment for that offense, extradition may be refused unless the requesting Party furnishes such assurances as the requested Party considers sufficient that the death penalty shall not be imposed, or, if imposed, shall not be executed.” [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a concession that must be made if the Mexicans are to cooperate with the prosecution of a captured murder suspect.

Personally, I'm not sure we should be trust the same inept and corrupt government that allows guns to walk across the border to take life via an execution, but that's just my opinion.

Not making that case one way or another here--merely pointing out what is.

This obligation would not apply to AG Holder. Using 'law of parties' he is guilty of murder and we do have the d.p. in most states here.
