| Snow says question on officers' prison time 'nonsensical' |

| #6 Sounds like an easy appeal...if the foreman gave incorrect, or misleading instructions. Obviously they (apparently) covered up evidence. That is grounds for removal. However, to say "question on officers' prison time 'nonsensical'" is, nonsensical. A conviction on the covering up evidence, and probation...unless I am really missing something here. |

| #5 Mr. Ramos and his lawyer were on TV indicating an appeal was filed. Seems three of the jurors were told by the foreman they could not vote acquital if it would mean a hung jury. |

| #4 Actually, this case should be under appeal, and as such, neither Bush nor his representatives should be commenting on it, since an appellate victory is far more valuable long term (setting legal precedent etc.) than a pardon. |

| #3 The Border Agents' failing was too little time at the practice range. |

| #1 The question may be "nonsensical" but it better be answered damn quick. Seems in the view of many in our judicial system, the only people that don't have rights are ordinary American citizen that pay taxes and obey the law. Perhaps, from a career perspective, the mistake the Border Patrol agents made was in wounding the perp. Sentences like this will lead some to adopt the same policy to dangerous illegals that California property owners have to "endangered species" they find on their land, shoot them quick and bury them deep. |
