What is the status of the appeal in the Ramos and Compian case?

Question

Sorry I know I misspelled his name.

I didn't ask what your OPINION was...I asked what is going on with the case. If you don't know...DON'T ANSWER!!!!

Answer 1

I found this. It is a blog about Ramos & contains a lot of info. I hope this is what you are looking for.

Answer 2

Several prominent lawmakers have called for a congressional investigation into the prosecution, and President Bush said in mid-January that a pardon was possible.

As NewsMax reported in January, National Border Patrol Council President T.J. Bonner has said the jailing of Ramos and Compean "destroys the morale of law enforcement officers across the nation and undermines the public’s faith in our system of justice.”

I haven't seen anything more recent on their appeal except this: Democrats have approved a congressional hearing to explore Mexico's possible influence on the prosecution of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

The request by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. – ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight – was approved by the panel's chairman, Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass.

Answer 3

They are still in jail but the good people of the Republican party and only 3 Democrats are doing their best to undo the injustice that was committed with these two great Americans. Do you believe that only three (3) Democrats are backing these two Americans and the rest are with the illegal aliens. How could we the majority of Americans could permit these atrocities in our government. How could we permit that we let people like these represent us, and don't give a hoot about justice. What are we Americans are going to do with these idiots. We have to do something because if don't we are going to lose our country.

Answer 4

lats i herd Ramos is in seclusion. when his family visited they had to be pulled from their father crying not wanting to leave their father. he's allowed 1 phone call a month and his mail is watched. the president has put this on the back burner. it's just terrible what has happened to those two hero's. it's got to the point America has no rights.

Answer 6

I don't know. But I wonder if a new attorney general would have a different opinion of the case.

Answer 7

More in Washington are signing on all the time. What we need to remember in 2008 is, who did, and who didn't. I know I sure will. My feeling is when they do get out, they should get their jobs back, and with back pay. Hey, maybe Johnny Sutton, can take their place.

Answer 8

They're victims of the political ambition of the Federal DA in West Texas, Johnny Sutton, and now a third Officer has joined their ranks. I forget his name but another Border Patrolman was put in a situation where a STOLEN Suburban full of illegal aliens, being driven by a felon, attempted to run him over and he shot at the tires of the vehicle in an attempt to prevent them from killing him. One round ricocheted off the pavement and nicked the lip of one of the illegal aliens. The same DA who prosecuted the others has had the Border Patrolman arrested and is looking for a 4 year sentence. This DA has also given Green cards to all of the illegal aliens in the STOLEN Suburban that was trying to run over the Border Patrolman.

More:Deputy in border shooting to be sentenced today

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 19, 2007


A deputy sheriff who fired shots at a sport utility vehicle after he said the driver tried to run him down faces up to 10 years in prison during sentencing today in a Texas federal court.
Edwards County Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez, 25, has been held without bond since his Dec. 1 conviction after a jury trial in U.S. District Court in Del Rio, Texas, on charges of violating "under the color of law" the civil rights of Maricela Rodriguez-Garcia.
The woman, a Mexican national, was being smuggled into the United States when she was struck in the lip by bullet or other metal fragments after an 11:50 p.m. traffic stop in Rocksprings, Texas, in April 2005. Hernandez said he fired shots at the vehicle's rear tires as it sped off after being stopped for running a red light.
The deputy, who had been with the force for a year at the time of the incident, was acquitted on a second count that he also "willfully shot" a second person in the vehicle, Candido Garcia-Perez, also a Mexican national being brought into the country illegally.
Sheriff Donald G. Letsinger has defended his deputy, saying he "followed the letter of the law" in defending himself in the April 14, 2005, incident and has questioned why the government brought charges.
The deputy's conviction has sparked anger in Rocksprings, population 1,250.
"The town is outraged that this has happened to our deputy," said the Rev. Albert Green, pastor at the First Baptist Church. "Those people were in this country illegally, and they tried to run him down."
The deputy was prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who also won jury convictions last year against two U.S. Border Patrol agents who fired shots at a drug-smuggling suspect as he fled back into Mexico after abandoning a van containing 743 pounds of marijuana.
Agents Ignacio Ramos, 37, and Jose Alonso Compean, 28, were convicted of causing serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in a crime of violence and a civil rights violation, and sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison, respectively.
The smuggling suspect, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, was wounded but later returned to the United States to testify against the agents under a grant of immunity.
In the deputy's case, Sheriff Letsinger said an investigation found that Hernandez approached the vehicle, found only the driver sitting upright and suspected others in the vehicle were illegal aliens. He said the driver, after being asked to step out of the vehicle, pulled forward and turned into the deputy.
Thinking the driver had tried to run him over, he said Hernandez fired at the vehicle's rear tires. He said at least one of the people inside the vehicle confirmed the driver had turned it into the deputy.
Mrs. Rodriguez-Garcia and two other occupants of the vehicle told investigators they paid $2,000 each to be taken across the Rio Grande from Acuna, Mexico. They said they later met the vehicle's driver and a "guide," who were to take them to Austin and Dallas.
The driver of the vehicle and the guide were never apprehended. None of the occupants in the vehicle was charged.

Answer 9

They can appeal and it will be rejected. They shot an unarmed man that was running away from them so they are where they should be in JAIL.

Here is a link to the transcripts of what actually happened in the case instead of the other nonsense being talked about by the media.
