President George W. Bush, in one of his last official acts in office, commuted the prison sentences of two U.S. Border Patrol agents who were imprisoned for shooting an unarmed Mexican drug smuggler in the buttocks in a case that drew widespread attention.
Ignacio Ramos had been sentenced to 11 years and a day in prison and Jose Alonso Compean received 12 years.
Their conviction in 2006 drew an outcry from supporters who said the agents were just doing their job.
Sad that it took so long.
