Justice in Mexico
On the Nov. 15 article, “Eye to Eye in Search of Justice,” about the careo [or face-off], I found the words “medieval” and “primitive” describing some of Mexico’s legal proceedings. Surely Mexico can and must modernize, but what about the U.S.? Isn’t the death penalty primitive and medieval? A little more self-criticism on the part of Americans and a bit less patronizing of the neighbor to the south would do this country lots of good too.
