    Lawsuits filed for man facing execution tonight

    Attorneys for a Mexican citizen facing execution in Texas for the slaying of his 16-year-old cousin in 1997 have filed two federal lawsuits seeking to halt the punishment.

    One lawsuit argues that Ruben Ramirez Cardenas' due process and civil rights are being violated because state officials won't release evidence to facilitate new DNA testing. Attorneys for the state argue the lawsuit is improper and that state courts have refused the request because Cardenas could not show that more advanced DNA tests would exonerate him.

    Attorney Maurie Levin separately is arguing for a phone in the prison, so she can contact courts and the Texas governor before and during the execution. Texas prisons spokesman Jason Clark says cellphones are barred from Texas prisons by law and that no landline phone is accessible to execution witnesses.

    I can see this execution going through to midnight with a temporary stay from SCOTUS.

    Texas doesn't start proceedings if it looks like court wranglings will stretch after 10:30 PM CT. So no midnight madness.

    the district court has dismissed his lawsuit. his last options are the 5th circuit and the supreme court. this one is probably a go.

    HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS — The Latest on the scheduled execution of a Mexican citizen in Texas (all times local):

    3:30 p.m.

    Two federal lawsuits seeking to halt the execution of a Mexican citizen in Texas for the slaying of his 16-year-old cousin in 1997 have been dismissed.

    Attorneys for prisoner Ruben Cardenas say they'll appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals over a federal judge's rejection of a lawsuit that argues his due process and civil rights are being violated because state officials won't release evidence to facilitate new DNA testing. Attorneys for the state argue the lawsuit is improper and that state courts have refused the request because Cardenas could not show that more advanced DNA tests would exonerate him.

    An appeal related to the same issue also is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Texas executes Mexican citizen for 1997 slaying

    A Mexican citizen on death row in Texas has been executed for the slaying of his 16-year-old cousin.

    Ruben Ramirez Cardenas was given a lethal injection Wednesday night after several federal court appeals failed to halt his punishment for the February 1997 killing of Mayra Laguna.

    She was abducted from her family's McAllen apartment and fatally beaten. Her body was later dumped in a canal in the Rio Grande Valley in far South Texas.

    Appeals for the 47-year-old Cardenas focused primarily on efforts to have trial evidence undergo new DNA testing.

    In a filing to the U.S. Supreme Court hours before his punishment Wednesday, lawyers argued Texas was violating Cardenas' due process rights and a state statute that covers forensic testing and asked the justices to halt the execution for a court review.

    abcnews left off the fact that he raped her. It's extraordinary how often they leave off part of the horror the perp inflicted.
