Convicted felons Ramos and Compean join the crowd in scamming money for "justice"
Don’t these morons ever give up?
It’s being billed as ‘A Time for Justice’ fundraiser. Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean will be headed back to court in order to clear their names.
The fundraiser in Houston, Texas will raise funds for their legal defense team and the agents hope to finally be granted a fair trial where all the evidence can be heard. The first trial that led to their conviction is directly tied to U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton’s refusal to disclose significant evidence and facts to the jury.
Both Ramos and Compean are seeking a retrial in Texas to clear their names. A new trial comes with a risk as the men could be convicted and sent back to prison. However, Ramos says it’s worth it because he knows the truth is on his side.
These two former BP Agents received a very fair trial and were convicted by a jury of their peers in a district that is very pro law enforcement.
The evidence they claim Johnny Sutton failed to disclose was simply the fact that the person they shot in the back, supposedly ran another load across the border after the fact. However, it was the Judges decision not to allow that evidence into the trial, not Sutton. And the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld that decision and others in denying a new trial. The Supreme Court has also elected not to hear the appeal.
Notwithstanding the so called “withheld evidence”, the facts support the conviction.
- The bullet recovers from Aldretes ass was fired from Ramos’ service weapon.
- They did not report the shooting as required under BP rules, instead choosing to sanitize the scene, destroying evidence of their mis deeds.
They got what they deserved and need to accept things as they are and be damned happy Bush granted them a reduction in sentence.
Here’s the announcement if anyone is interested.
