Second Ex-Border Agent Resentenced in Shooting Case as Supporters Call for Pardons

A second former Border Patrol agent who received a lengthy sentence in a case involving the shooting of a fleeing drug smuggler has been resentenced to his original 11 years and a day in prison, as the agents' supporters hold out hope for presidential pardons.
Ignacio Ramos got the same sentence two years ago when he was convicted in the shooting of Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, an admitted, and now convicted, drug smuggler.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone gave Ramos' partner, Jose Alonso Compean, his original 12-year sentence, 10 years on a charge of using a weapon in the commission of a felony and another two for assault and other charges. Both men have been in prison since January 2007.
In September, the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans threw out some convictions against Ramos and Compean, prompting this week's new sentencing hearings. But the court upheld the majority of the case against the pair, including the weapons charge that brought the mandatory sentence.

President Bush has let a lot of us down in many ways. The least he can do, before leaving office, is pardon these guys.
Toss your base a bone, Mr. President.

I can’t imagine the depths of how they feel right now. This nation has gone insane at nearly every level.

it might be helpful if our border agents had badass reputations. The Compean Ramos issue must be the source of much laughter in Mexico.

I guess the moral to this story is if you want to shoot one, don’t sign up with Uncle Sam first.

or.............maybe....................there is a drug import connection. There is no other explanation of this legal monstrosity and of his unwillingness to pardon these patriots. If he pardons 2 turkeys at Thanksgiving, I wish him nothing but food poisoning at the ranch.

There is no other explanation of this legal monstrosity and of his unwillingness to pardon these patriots. The thought that they might be guilty, apparently, has not crossed your mind.

So we should set the bar as low, got it.

Johnny Sutton was on Hannity and Colmes tonight because he wants to run for political office.
This case will be the biggest impediment to him running for office1

“On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone gave Ramos’ partner, Jose Alonso Compean, his original 12-year sentenc”
Why is the same judge that gave them the first sentence getting to do this one?

Let's see, your boss is the US Government (President, Attorney General/Secretary of commerce/Homeland Defense, US Attorney), and he tells you "pack heat".
End of story. Your boss is the one who brought a gun to the scene of the crime, if any, and if you are going to be tried for using the gun, the boss should also be tried for having made it available at the scene of the crime.
Sutton didn't bring charges against all the folks involved under the legal theories he used.
We are not done with this trial.

You believe they are guilty. What convinces you of that?
