The mother of Víctor Saldaño, Argentine sentenced to death in the United States: "It is a torture that lives my son"

In 1995, Víctor Saldaño changed his life. A short time ago, he had left his hometown, Cordoba, to travel the world. Fate found it in these towers in Texas, United States. There, with a Mexican friend, they made an badault. A computer salesman stole a watch and $ 50. When Paul Ray King tried to escape, they murdered him For this crime, he is the only Argentine sentenced to death by American justice. In November, this sanction could be effective.

In an interview with TN CentralSaldaño's mother, Lidia Guerrero, claimed that "it's a torture" that her son suffers. "He tells me that he can not sleep since he's learned the date of execution. I console him with what I think: that God will dispose of his life when he says, "thought the woman.

Saldaño has been sentenced twice. The first date of 1996. Although his accomplice was executed a few months after the crime, his case was postponed. Constant calls from lawyers advised by the Argentine State forced to pbad all courts.

As a result, the case has reached the United States Supreme Court of Justice. The Court ruled that the trial is redone or release him, since he found a racist motivation for the death penalty. The second process is also finished in the same way. The legal time limits for all calls expire in a few months and, therefore, it is estimated that they could give it a tentative enforcement date in November.

"We continued to appeal and to present evidence that the second trial also contained irregularities and injustices, at which time the OAS was also published on the issue, for which we had filed a lawsuit against the US judge. They also talked about a null judgment"Guerrero said.

The woman claimed that she "was exhausting everything" so that the United States "came the reconsideration of the death penalty"but that there was still no determination.

"With the time and support I had from the Argentine state, I realized that it was not a subjective opinion as a mother, but that they committed irregularities for the jury to decide and pronounce the death penalty, "he concluded.
