SWTXBelle- This guy was already sitting on death row when he came forward that he was a MX national and started crying that he never received access to the MX consulate. The Consulate really couldn't do anything for this guy anyway post conviction other than make funeral/body transfer arrangements (if his wish was to be buried in MX). What Leal-Garcia and his lawyers were really aiming for was clemency from the governor based on the fact that he wasn't allowed access to the consulate during his initial trial. From what I've gathered they wanted a new trial or a commuted sentence.
I also think any comparisons to Knox or the Iranian hiking group are totally off base as well.
