A U.S. Appeals Court in New Orleans has upheld the conviction and lengthy sentences of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.
Refusing to overturn the convictions, the 3-judge panel stated that 'a jury has spoken.'
A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators and Congressmen led by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) had called on President Bush to commute the sentences of the two men, releasing them from prison.
Rohrabacher had even presented evidence in Congress of corruption within the U.S. Justice Department involving U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who had prosecuted the case.
Yet so far nothing has been done to correct an obvious wrong on the part of the U.S. Government in this case.
