Sadness: Judge Shows Former Border Agent No Mercy in New Sentencing for Shooting

Bush, please do us all one very huge favor - and pardon those who sought only to protect the border.

FoxNews.com:Judge Shows Former Border Agent No Mercy in New Sentencing for Shooting
A former Border Patrol agent's lengthy sentence for shooting a fleeing drug smuggler had been described as extreme by his supporters, but a federal judge showed no mercy Wednesday at the former agent's resentencing hearing in El Paso, Texas.

The judge upheld Jose Alonso Compean's original punishment and resentenced him to 10 years in prison for his conviction on a charge of using a weapon in the commission of a felony and another two years in prison for assault and other charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Compean's attorneys plan to turn to the Supreme Court for a review of the case. Bob Baskett, an attorney for Compean, did not immediately return a call for comment from FOXNews.com.


Sigh...

I know he refused to pardon them in the past. I'm also pretty sure hope'n'change won't. Now's the time - big W. I urge my 3 readers to call and send letters to whomever they can to advocate a pardon for those two.
