Sutton's Office Posts Myth vs. Fact Document
Friday, January 19, 2007
Here is a myth vs. fact document on the Ramos and Compean case filed by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's office. Is this seriously an official document? Some of the "reality" comments seem a bit childish. Also, there is more to the story about the verdict of the jury. Immediately after the ruling was read, three jurors told the Defense lawyer that they were forced to vote "guilty" when they wanted to vote "not guilty" (link) Isn't it great what our country has come to, a U.S. Attorney can justify giving a Dirty Mexican Drug Runner immunity in order to prosecute two United States Border Patrol Officers.

Interesting Reads on Ramos, Compean Case
---Article from the Canadian Free Press about the Border Patrol 2
---U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) introduced a bill Thursday that would pardon Ramos and Compean. He also made a request to the Federal Bureau of Prisons to keep the two out of the general population at the prison. Congress has never pardoned someone, but no one is really sure they can't.
---This story will probably be making the rounds Friday. Read it for yourself and tell me what you think President Bush meant. I don't really take it to mean he is considering a pardon any more than he was before.
---This is a post from ePluribus Media that includes what is supposed to be what the Justice Department presented at the trial as an account of the case. It definitely paints a different story about what happened. Although, consider that for the most part this is the account of the incident by a man who was smuggling $1 million worth of pot into the U.S., had been runnin' drugs since he was 14 (according to family), and is suing the USA for $5 million. Do you trust him?
