Somewhat different from how the libs treat an illegal who commits an ordinary crime without an anti-communist slant. I miss the old days when "justice is blind" to all but the facts of the case was an ideal that both political parties held sacred.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Texas jurors have reached a quick verdict in the federal trial of a Cuban anti-communist militant considered ex-President Fidel Castro's nemesis.
A court clerk in El Paso says jurors reached a verdict Friday after less than a day of deliberations.
Eighty-three-year-old Luis Posada Carriles (loo-EES' poh-SAH'-duh cah-REE'-lehs) is an ex-CIA operative who opposed Castro and communist governments around Latin America — often with U.S. support.
But he sneaked into the U.S. in 2005 and faces perjury, obstruction and immigration fraud charges.

Story says the jury reached a verdict. Nowhere can I see in the story what's the verdict. Also, isn't the past tense of sneak snuck? Who writes these stories? The computer?
Fox News Radio announced the not guilty verdict at the top of the hour. When I went to look for a linkable story, this is the closest they had. It has since been updated.

Millions of Hispanics come into the country illegally every year and get free benefits, and they prosecute an 83-year-old Cuban patriot because he tried to help the CIA against Castro?
Typical.
“Also, isn’t the past tense of sneak snuck? “
—Usage note
First recorded in writing toward the end of the 19th century in the United States, snuck has become in recent decades a standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak : Bored by the lecture, he snuck out the side door. Snuck occurs frequently in fiction and in journalistic writing as well as on radio and television: In the darkness the sloop had snuck around the headland, out of firing range. It is not so common in highly formal or belletristic writing, where sneaked is more likely to occur. Snuck is the only spoken past tense and past participle for many younger and middle-aged persons of all educational levels in the U. S. and Canada. Snuck has occasionally been considered nonstandard, but it is so widely used by professional writers and educated speakers that it can no longer be so regarded.

“Millions of Hispanics come into the country illegally every year and get free benefits, and they prosecute an 83-year-old Cuban patriot because he tried to help the CIA against Castro?”
And to make Posada Carriles the one guy who gets prosecuted for sneaking into the U.S.? Ridiculous.
