As previously reported in the acclaimed Frank’s Famous Blog at http://www.blog.franklynch.org, U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone in El Paso, Texas, sentenced Jose Alonso Compean to 12 years in prison and Ignacio Ramos to 11 years and one day despite a plea by their attorney for a new trial after three jurors said they were coerced into voting guilty in the case.
The drug smuggler was given immunity for testifying aginst them, but got arrested for drug smuggling a second time before the trial, so our Federal Prosecutors gave him immunity for the second crime so he could testify that he got shot smuggling drugs.

Dear President Bush:
The American people and Congress are on top of this issue. We the People demand that you immediately pardon Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos, the two Border Patrol Agents sentanced for shooting an habitual drug smuggler who was in the US illegally.
