So nice to know the judiciary is Looking Out for US (tm).
This is no longer the United States of my birth.
Who was the judge?
Bush should pardon these two but I doubt he will.
Funny I just heard a commercial on the radio “ become a border agent” Yeah right, thier going to open the borders wide on all fronts anyway so just don’t bother! It was a lovely country for a while there! God bless America she’s bleeding from an artery with no paramedics in site. I am in mourning!
“Strange” this story didn’t name the judge, nor did the El Paso Times story name the judge. Hmmmmm.
Send President Bush emails. Pardon these guys!
Pamos and Compean thrown under the bus ping.
Nobody, but nobody shoots one of the CIA’s drug couriers and gets away with it.
These two need to be pardoned by President Bush, immediately.
This unfathomable miscarriage of justice will only be remedied by pardon, at this point. They have suffered far too much for this alleged crime.
We need to wake up to the reality the our border is our primary line of defense against a whole host of ills, and it must be secured. These two agents, acting in good faith, shot a confessed drug smuggling illegal alien in the arse, and they get sent to prison. Unconscionable!
PARDON!!!!!!
Contrast the Compeon case with that of Special Agent Braga http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-fbiagent28,0,7715963.story?page=1
Why haven’t other border agents come to their defense and protest or walk off the job?
This is a pathetic travesty of Justice!
Texas 2 ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Since the Schultz case received nationwide notice (and no doubt a lot of notice with the ranks of the federal prosecutor's offices) you'd best believe Sutton knew all about it, and the normal standards the FBI applies to shooting situations.
Obama could do us all a favor by having Sutton prosecuted for misprosecution.
Ramos/Compean ping!
for calcowgirl
Does anyone know how to get a message to President-elect Obama concerning these two men’s fate? Perhaps, the in-coming President would like to demonstrate compassion and that he is all the people’s President.
The judge had no authority to reverse the previous sentence other than the portion remanded back for resentencing... The following from another article back when it case was remanded for resentencing. In other words the 10 year minimum wasn’t at issue.
From another article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081112/ap_on_re_us/agents_convicted
The U.S. Attorney’s office said a judge resentenced Jose Alonso Compean to 10 years for his conviction of using a weapon in the commission of a felony, plus two years for assault and other charges.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out some convictions against Ramos and Compean earlier this year, prompting Wednesday’s resentencing, but the court upheld the majority of the case. Ramos is due to be resentenced Thursday.
I have been disappointed in Bush for a lot of things but none more so than his not pardoning these guys.
