TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
EDGAR TAMAYO, A Mexican national convicted in the 1994 shooting death of a Houston police officer who had
been flagged down outside a nightclub by a man Tamayo
had robbed minutes earlier. Officer Guy Gaddis arrested and handcuffed
Tamayo and was driving him to the lockup when Tamayo pulled a pistol
that had gone undetected. He shot Gaddis, fled, and was
arrested nearby. Mexico
has pleaded with Texas to delay Tamayo’s execution, saying an
international treaty was violated when officers did not inform Tamayo of
his right to contact the Mexican consulate and authorities failed to
notify Mexico of the arrest.
