Today we should all rejoice for justice finally being served in an incredibly unjust case.
Two border patrol agents shot a drug runner in 2005. Their names are Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. Osvaldo Aldrete Davila was smuggling marijuana across our southern border when Ramos and Compean shot him in the buttocks as he ran from them. That seems reasonable. However, they were sentenced to 11 & 12 years for shooting the convicted drug-runner.
It was a gross misjustice for them to ever be convicted. But today President Bush relieved many people throughout the country who have been following this case by commuting their sentences.
I can't imagine how excited they and their families are. They will be released from prison on March 20.
