Oklahoma Governor Grants Clemency to Mexican Convicted of 1993 Murders
Gov. Brad Henry commuted the death sentence of Osbaldo Torres from Mexico to life without parole after the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals granted an indefinite stay. The Pardon and Parole Board had recommended clemency, amid international concerns over Vienna Convention rights and Mexican consular access. Family members criticized the decision while Henry cited issues warranting clemency.
