They still committed a crime. Commuted works for me, they do not deserve to be in jail, BUT they still did abuse their power by filing a false report ... Law enforcement/border enforcement is something they never deserve to be EVER again.

Maybe we should prevent the Border Patrol from ever being put into that position. Land-mines and lethal-electrified fences should do just nicely.

I believe Sutton said the problem was they "didn't file a report", not that they filed a false one. Besides, didn't the prosecution accept the argument that it was the supervisor's job to file the report ~ alas, the supervisor turned states evidence and either testified against his subordinates, or threatened to.

Remember, there's a subargument in all the threads on this case that irrespective of what Ramos and Compeon may or may not have done, the reports that served as the basis of the central part of the prosecution were NOT their responsibility. Maybe they were supposed to correct the supervisor or something.

Ain't every day a government supervisor can send one of his subordinates to jail for his own screwups, but to send two? Wow! He'll be in line for promotion to SES now that this is settled.

Obama will find him a good job Fur Shur.

In the meantime, Ramos and Campeon are going to have to figure out where to live and what to do for a living. Maybe they can stop by "W"'s ranch ~ ain't far. Get a job on a neighboring ranch maybe. Bet "W"'d like that.

I'm all for a border fence.
