In his final acts of clemency, President George W. Bush on Monday commuted the prison sentences of two former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a Mexican drug dealer ignited fierce debate about illegal immigration.
Bush didn’t pardon the men for their crimes, but decided instead to commute their prison sentences because he believed they were excessive and that they had already suffered the loss of their jobs, freedom and reputations, a senior administration official said.
Compean and Ramos, who have served about two years of their sentences, are expected to be released from prison within the next two months.
Why does it take two months to release them?!
gives the “messiah” two months to figure out how to stop it.
One of them just received a beating in prison, I wish they were out today....but this is better then the nothing I was expecting from Bush. About dang time.
