The U.S. Marine who has been jailed since accidentally crossing into Mexico nearly two months ago with three registered guns will appear before a judge for the first time Wednesday in Tijuana, where his mother says he is ready to face his accusers.
Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has been held in two Mexican prisons since his arrest, one of which he tried to escape after receiving threats, according to his supporters. On Wednesday at 9 a.m. local time, he'll go before a federal judge in Mexico's sixth-largest city. According to his Tijuana-based attorney, Alejandro Osuna, Tahmooressi will be afforded the chance to tell his story to the judge. The Mexican customs agent and soldiers involved in his arrest will also make statements."I have no confidence in their system," said Tahmooressi's mother, Jill Tahmooressi. "Justice will prevail, but not because of the truth from the other side."
Since his arrest, Andrew has faced death and rape threats, has had his feet and hands shackled and lost weight, according to his mother, who has been able to visit him and speaks with her son by phone several times a week. Speaking from her home in Weston, Fla., the worried mom said her son is relieved that he has the opportunity to state his case in open court and before a judge.

Let’s trade him for the 1 million mexican criminals and illegal aliens we have in jails, — Fair deal!! Meet you at the border, then we close border.
Can’t do it. Obama has already released them into the US.
Glenn Beck has spent a lot of time detailing this Marine’s plight on his radio show. His mom Jill has also been on Glenn’s radio show.
If I were president, shortly after this Marine was locked up, I would have told the Mexican government, “You have 24 hours to release this man unharmed. If after 24 hours, this Marine is not back safely on U.S. soil, expect air strikes on Mexican targets and tanks will cross the Rio Grande and head south.”
Yeah, what was it...Only 36,000 of them with convictions from murder to rape, just lets them waltz right out the front gate into the streets of the US. Blatant TREASON and these slimebags posing as the Republicans do absolutely nothing about it. All these Repubs who blasted Ted Cruz and they are quiet as a mouse when a sitting US President willfully and knowingly puts the lives of the people at risk, when without question more victims will be added to this list........

Incredible isn’t that sitting US Presidents would willfully and knowingly assist foreign invaders in killing US citizens. This is the REAL reason why they want to disarm us. They know damn well as does the press, that everyday peoples lives are saved by the ability to defend themselves using the 2nd amendment and they HATE that because they hate the guts of this country.
I said the same thing from the get-go. Well, I did give them 48 hours.
He can tell his side of the story if he knows how to speak Spanish. He will stand there listen to other people speaking Spanish. There is no bilingual anything in Mexico.
That would only happen if we had a president with cojones unlike the Zero we have now.
Any Mexican soldiers that accidently cross over our border should be detained and subjected to similar treatment, just to give ‘em a taste of their own medicine. I would not release them until our guy is released.
Screw Mexico. No American has any business spending tourist dollars in that snake pit anyway.
He won’t see the light of freedom unless he bribes his way out.
I couldn’t believe my ears when his mother announced on national television (Greta interview in Mexico) how much the Marine has in his bank account. She’s not real bright because that’s some serious bribe money right there.
