    Does drug smuggling usually result in a death penalty if convicted? If not, then it shouldn’t warrant execution without trial

      Regardless the accused have a right to defend themselves in court, the authorities do not establish guilt juries do. In or out of the us, citizen or no.

      Unless self defense, they are not calling that specifically to set precedent of extrajudicial killing with armed forces. Next stop stateside.
