    5th Circuit upholds prison terms for Ramos & Compean

    5th Circuit upholds prison terms for border agents

    1 hour, 4 minutes ago

    NEW ORLEANS - A federal appeals court has refused to throw out lengthy prison sentences for two U.S. Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting an unarmed illegal immigrant and lying about it.

    The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans on Monday upheld most of the convictions against former agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.

    The appeals court vacated their convictions for tampering with an official proceeding, but the three-judge panel refused to reverse the convictions that resulted in their lengthy sentences.

    Ramos and Compean were convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison, respectively. Both men claimed they shot at Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, an illegal immigrant and admitted drug smuggler, in self defense.

    This smacks of corruption and Bush Administration strong arming pon the judiciary regarding this decision.

    The only solution now seems to be...Revolution every day, everyway.

    (mod edit).

    It's either that or continue to allow such a miscarriage of justice, and continue to be overrun by the invasion from the south.

    Bush put the thumb on them as he doesn't want Sutton to be investigated.

    WorriedAmerican, I have a feeling that there is much, much more the Busy Bushy Gang have been capable of. After all, they are the most secretive government in the history of this country. These judges should also be brought up on treason charges as well as the Gang.
    You may be worried, but I am a terrified American.

    True, But he's encouraging it.

    Oh, if I didn't have this goup to rant and rave on I'd be worse than I feel now. All you can do is prepare. Hide your guns in the ground, keep one token one to give to the posse when they knock at the door ...
