By Kleinheider Posted on January 19, 2009 at 12:28 pmPresident Bush commutes the sentences but does not pardon two border patrol agents in jail for shooting a Mexican drug runner.
On his last full day in office, President Bush commuted the sentences of two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican drug runner in 2005.
The imprisonment of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean had sparked outcry from critics who said the two were just doing their jobs. They had been sentenced to 11- and 12-year sentences, respectively.
