Oklahoma said it would proceed with plans to execute a Mexican national, delaying for the moment a decision on whether to honor a stay issued by the World Court.
The World Court at The Hague last week ordered both states not to execute 3 Mexican nationals -- 2 in Texas, 1 in Oklahoma -- until it resolves a suit filed by Mexico. None of the 3 has an execution date.
Speaking from Oklahoma City, Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Miller said the state would continue to prepare in the case of Oswaldo Torres Aguillera, listed on Oklahoma's death row as Osbaldo Torres.
