Agent Jose Alonso Compean. Courtesy of KFOX-TVTwo U.S. Border Patrol agents were sentenced to prison terms of 11 years and 12 years for shooting a drug-smuggling suspect in the buttocks as he fled across the U.S.-Mexico border.
U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone in El Paso, Texas, sentenced Jose Alonso Compean to 12 years in prison and Ignacio Ramos to 11 years and one day despite a plea by their attorney for a new trial after three jurors said they were coerced into voting guilty in the case, the Washington Times reported.
As WorldNetDaily reported, a federal jury convicted Compean, 28, and Ramos, 37, in March after a two-week trial on charges of
causing serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence and a civil rights violation.
Why did you post an article that says they shot a drug smuggler? Of course you probably also know he was an illegal alien. Those are at least two crimes the young man that got shot was guilty of.
Thanks for the help but like I posted earlier the man that was shot was not an innocent person. I do not care what they say about you I get lots of entertainment value from some of your goofy posts. [/quote]
AV8,
since when is being illegal, grounds for getting shot at?? There are millions of them in this country who crossed during the BUSH administration.
Shall we go get some GUNS and have a shoot fest because they are illegal??
Maybe YOU believe the constitution does'nt apply to non citizens., How about local laws or federal laws??
You said:
Those are at least two crimes the young man that got shot was guilty of
Can you post the conviction record for these crimes?? I would like to see the conviction of drug smuggling on that day, and the conviction of being an illegal alien and then deported for the crime?
We know you cant.
Score,

I am assuming the jury C O N V I C T E D these men wrongly because thier lawyers couldnt explain what you know to them?? Obviously, you are better to represent these men than the 4 attorneys each they had.
Maybe you should become a lawyer for the outlaws of the land and set them all free!!
Now, in all seriousness, the jury convicted these men of CIVIL RIGHTS laws, and that means this illegal alien, drug smuggler, loser, criminal etc etc is INNOCENT under the law.
Sorry, but this is the way it is in a civilized country.
Sorry that under the 4th Reich (BUSH) they were convicted, but they will have to depend on BUSH to set them free, the LAW will not do it for them.
When this illegal alien was shot, the agents DIDNT KNOW the following before they shot him...(thus, the crux of the case)
1) he was illegal
2) he was a drug smuggler
3) he previously smuggled drugs
They shot him LONG before they found a van nearby loaded with marijuana. You know the stuff, the green plants smoked by white teens in every middle american town.
Prior to this discovery, they shot him while running away, then, instead of giving chase, they stopped to CONCEAL and TAMPER with evidence, then began an investigation when other agents arrived. These agents testified against them.
Now this little detail may escape your ability to produce facts, but it doesnt escape me.
Nice try though, Maybe RUSH Limbaughs explanation made sense to you, but its not factual.

Sorry, laughs still on you.
