On April 5, Nevada executed Alvaro Calambro, 25, a Filipino man convicted of killing two U-Haul employees with a hammer and crowbar during a 1994 robbery. Calambro had refused to file his own appeal, and Gov. Kenny Guinn rejected pleas by the Philippine Government. Philippine officials argued that the execution would violate the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations because they weren't immediately notified of Calambro's arrest in 1994, leaving him with inadequate legal representation.
