Hope for Border Agents?

"Judge E. Grady Jolly, one of three judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said today that federal prosecutors (Johnny Sutton and his team) 'may have overreacted in their case against' Ramos and Compean. The agent's attorneys are asking the 5th Circuit to throw out the charges--especially in light of the recent arrest of Osvaldo Alrete-Davila, the drug smuggler whose testimony put the two border agents in prison! Referencing the harsh, decade long prison terms, Jolly questioned Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Steimach saying, 'It does seem to me that the government overreacted here.' No word was given as to when a ruling might be handed down." [If any. -RT] (Grassfire.org,)
