FREE RAMOS AND COMPEAN!!!

Senators renew call to free jailed ex-border agents


The Orange County Register (Santa Ana, CA), April 22, 2008



California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn have renewed their plea to President Bush to release Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are in jail for shooting a fleeing drug trafficker.

The two senators Monday sent Bush a letter, pointing out that the man who was shot at the U.S.-Mexico border, Aldrete Davila, pleaded guilty last week to transporting two loads of marijuana valued at a total of $2 million.

'As we have indicated previously, the penalty levied on these agents is excessive,' the senators wrote. 'We believe that this is a case of prosecutorial overreaching, and to allow agents Ramos and Compean to serve over a decade in prison would represent a serious miscarriage of justice.'

The two former agents have been in prison for more than a year and the senators want Bush to commute their sentences.
