    On October 29, 2008, Ramos filed an appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit over the denial of his habeas petition in Federal District Court.

    Mexican Man on Texas Death Row Loses Federal Appeal

    A federal appeals court has rejected an appeal from a Mexican man on death row in Texas for the slayings of his wife and two children at their Rio Grande Valley home more than 24 years ago.

    The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling that said Robert Moreno Ramos, 62, can't file another appeal claiming he wasn't told he could get legal help from the Mexican government under an international treaty when he was arrested for the 1992 killings. Ramos' lawyer also argued he had deficient legal help at trial and in subsequent appeals.

    In 2004, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, found that Ramos, from Aguascalientes, Mexico, and more than four dozen other Mexican citizens awaiting execution in the United States weren't advised of their consular rights under the Vienna Convention when they were arrested. The international court urged new hearings in the courts where those people were convicted to determine if consular access would have affected their cases. President George W. Bush agreed and directed states to reopen the cases.

    The U.S. Supreme Court overruled that directive, determining that only Congress can require states to follow the international court's ruling. That has not happened, and several Texas inmates named in the international court ruling have since been executed.

    Ramos, whose first name in some court filings also is listed as Roberto, does not yet have an execution date.

    His lawyer, Danalynn Recer, did not immediately respond to a phone message left Friday by The Associated Press.

    Ramos was convicted in the February 1992 fatal beatings of his 42-year-old wife Leticia, their 7-year-old daughter Abigail and their 3-year-old son Jonathan. Testimony at his trial indicated the three were bludgeoned with a hammer. Their bodies were found several weeks later, buried under a freshly tiled floor in the bathroom of their home in Progreso in Hidalgo County. A relative had reported the woman and children missing.

    Ramos remarried three days after their slayings, explaining to his new wife that the woman who had been living in his house was a widow and that he'd been providing shelter for the family.

The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    I'm going to e-mail the district attorney in Hidalgo County repeatedly after cert is denied for this guy, and I suggest everyone else here do the same. Thugs that use people as their floor tiling after bludgeoning them to death are prime candidates for death warrants.

    I'm sure they'll get to him once his cert is denied. Given the brutality and the fact that he's been on death row for over 20 years, someone's got to have it out for him

    Mexican Man on Texas Death Row Loses at US Supreme Court

    HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to review an appeal from a Mexican national sentenced to death for the sledgehammer killings of his wife and two children, who were found buried under the bathroom floor in their Texas home.

    The high court didn't include an explanation of its decision not to review the capital murder conviction of 62-year-old Robert Moreno Ramos. His attorneys have argued that Ramos wasn't told when he was arrested for the 1992 killings that he could get legal help from the Mexican government and that he had deficient legal help at his trial and in earlier appeals. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their arguments last year.

    In 2004, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, found that Ramos, from Aguascalientes, Mexico, and more than four dozen other Mexican citizens awaiting execution in the U.S. weren't advised of their consular rights under the Vienna Convention when they were arrested. It recommended that they be tried again to determine if consular access would have affected their cases. President President George W. Bush agreed and directed states to reopen the cases.

    The Supreme Court overruled that directive, saying that only Congress can require states to follow the international court's ruling. That has not happened and several Texas inmates named in the international court ruling have since been executed.

    Ramos, who also is identified in some court documents as Roberto Moreno Ramos, does not have an execution date.

    Evidence at his 1993 trial in Hidalgo County showed he used a sledge hammer to kill his 42-year-old wife, Leticia, their 7-year-old daughter, Abigail, and their 3-year-old son, Jonathan, at their home in Progreso, which is along the Mexico border about 20 miles (32.19 kilometers) southeast of McAllen.

    According to court records, Ramos told a cousin they were killed in a car wreck and their bodies were cremated. After providing other conflicting explanations, though, another relative went to police to report the woman and children missing. Their bodies were found buried under a freshly tiled floor in the home's bathroom.

    Evidence also showed Ramos remarried three days after they were killed, telling his new wife that the woman who had been living in his house was a widow and that he'd been providing shelter for her and her two children.
