The Obama administration has called on Texas to delay the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia until the end of this year because he was not told at the appropriate time of his rights to diplomatic counsel.

Garcia, 38, was convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl and then killing her with a piece of asphalt in Texas in 1995.
