Argentine mail
to be resenteni
Racial discrimination plays
AUSTIN (AP) — An Argentine
man on death row for a 1995 murder
should be resentenced because his
race was used as a key factor in sen
tencing him to die, his lawyers and the
Texas attorney general’s office told a
state appeals court on Wednesday.
“Racial discrimination is repug
nant,” Stanley Schneider, attorney for
condemned inmate Victor Hugo Sal-
dano, said at a hearing before the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
“We cannot allow a jury to consider
the person’s color of his skin or his
country of origin.”
Saldano, 28, was convicted and
sentenced to die for the abduction,
-robbery and shooting death of Paul
King in Collin County, near Dallas.
Texas Attorney General John
Cornyn has acknowledged before the
U.S. Supreme Court that trial testi
mony about Saldano’s Hispanic
background was inappropriate. A
psychologist had testified it was
among several reasons why the Ar
gentine laborer was a future danger
to society.
In Texas, the question of future
dangerousness is one of the elements
for a jury to consider before deciding
whether a capital murder convict
should be put to death.
Cornyn’s position put him at odds
with prosecutors who contended he
did not have the authority to make
such a claim to the U.S. Supreme
Court and that Saldano’s sentence
should stand.
The Court of Criminal Appeals,
the state’s highest criminal appeals
court, previously ruled 6-2 against
granting Saldano a new trial or sen
tencing. With Cornyn’s admission,
however, the U.S. Supreme Court
set aside that ruling and asked the
state court to consider Saldano’s
case again.
On Wednesday, Cornyn’s office ar
gued before the appeals court that Sal
