I believe other countries have to recognize that death is an option and though they can advocate for lighter sentences, if it does not occur you shouldn't take your toys and go home.

Italy does not have the death penalty
I agree that we shouldn't change our rulings just to make another country happier with the verdict. Mexico is even trickier because so many of her citizens come here not to visit but by migration. The man executed wasn't here on a trip, or just here to go to school, he was here to live permanently as a citizen. Therefore, if he wants to live here as a citizen, he should be subject to all laws and the consequences of breaking those laws as any citizen is, regardless of where he was born. Why should he get any preferential treatment? Just my honest opinion.
