Don't mistake me - I think Perry was once again an ass to not grant the 30 day reprieve to review whether or not consul access would have made a difference in the trial. At this point, what's 30 days? I do have every confidence that any review would end up confirming the verdict.
Given that Garcia himself admitted to the crime, I'm not shedding big salty tears over someone who tried to play the system and ended up shooting himself in the foot.
eta - I have tried in vain to establish exactly when Garcia revealed his nationality. It was not during the trial; the closest I can come is the fact he appealed on the basis of his not being given consular access in 1998.
