Apply that same standard to every single case where people are found guilty after trials and we'd have to pardon thousands of people every year.

Innocent people should be pardoned no matter the number of them.

I'm done arguing about this case. As far as I'm concerned, it's over.

Fine, so stop posting on these threads if you really are stating your belief.

I think this is the only thread on this topic I’ve ever posted on. As for innocent people being pardoned, I agree. It doesn’t appear to me that these two are innocent though. It appears to me that the folks who argue for pardons in this case don’t much care what realy happened in this case. The fact that border guards shot an illegal alien drug smuggler is all they need to hear to declare that these two are innocent and should go unpunished. I’ve had a lot of years experience as a criminal defense attorney though, tried a lot of cases, and in my experience juries believe the guys with badges unless they really screw up. So my gut tells me these two screwed up pretty badly and the jury saw through thier lies. I don’t know exactly what happened. I wasn’t there, and I wasn’t in the courtroom watching all the evidence being put on, looking in people’s eyes to see if they were telling the truth. I’m going to have to defer to the jury on this one.
