Ramos and Compean’s Sentences Commuted by Bush

FoxNews is reporting:

On his last full day in office, President Bush commuted the controversial sentences of two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug runner in 2005.

The imprisonment of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean had sparked outcry from critics who said the men were just doing their jobs and were punished too harshly. They had been sentenced to 11- and 12-year sentences, respectively.

Their sentences will now expire on March 20 of this year…(more)

This is good news, in that Ramos and Compean will at least be getting over a decade of their lives back. Considering, however, that they should not have been in jail in the first place…this is hardly “justice.”
