ECUADOR SEEKS RETURN OF FLORIDA DEATH ROW INMATE

Ecuador's government is asking for the return of Nelson Serrano on Florida's death row. He was sentenced to death in 2007 for killing four people in a Polk County factory in 1997. Serrano was arrested in Ecuador in 2002. Ecuador has no death penalty and will not extradite fugitives who face the punishment in other countries. But US authorities were able to use Serrano's status as a US citizen to get him deported in a process Ecuador now claims is illegal.
