This is where the horrifying international saga began. First. Del Toro was scheduled for deportation from Mexico as an illegal alien. Then the Mexican Government. under the authority of Section 8 of the U.S.-Mexico Extradition Treaty of 1978. made a calculated decision to make the death penalty an issue in this case by choosing to switch midstream to lengthy extradition procedures. rather than proceed with the appropriate deportation procedures that were already underway. More than 10 months after the murder occurred. and more than 8 months after our local prosecutor waived the death penalty in this case. Del Toro still remains in Mexico. and the Mexican Government refuses to give us even a broad time frame as to when he will be returned.
