Fox News:  Despite pleas from President Obama and the State Department, Texas executes Humberto Leal, who critics say should have benefited from international law.  More on this story as it becomes available...

My Comments:  I can't express how pleased I am that someone has a sense of justice in the State of Texas, regardless of Barack Obama or the United Nations!  This man brutally raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl and was found guilty of the aggravated murder and sentenced to die.  Humberto Leal grew up in the United States, living here since he was two years old and the fact that Obama and the UN wanted to halt his execution in the name of "international justice" would have been a grave injustice to the memory of this young girl and her grieving family, had they been successful in creating a loophole for this devil to escape through.  Thank you, Jesus!!  Regardless of how repugnant this man's crime was, I truly hope he repented and his soul was spared hell, before he was justifiably executed for his crime.  "Be not deceived, God is not mocked: whatever a man sows, that will he also reap" Galations 6:7.  God loves everyone and He is forgiving of all sins, if we call on His name.  Nevertheless, Jesus came "not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it" (Matthew 5:17) and God's word will stand; we do reap what we sow in this life.  (Also see post dated 7/7/11 regarding this case).
