Three men from the Mexican state of Sinaloa have had their Malaysian death penalty case delayed until November 25. They were arrested in 2008, accused of manufacturing and warehousing methamphetamine and its precursor chemicals. Defense attorneys have challenged forensic test results of the chemicals which were seized when the men were detained, and have also alleged that about a third of the materials disappeared while in police custody.
Most drug crimes in Malaysia carry an automatic death penalty. If they're convicted the Sinaloans likely will be hanged.
