They are guilty and convicted at this stage.... that's fact. Now their appeal may reverse that conviction and order a new trial or remand the case back for further action by the trial court. What I'm basing my thought process on is the jury heard the case and voted unanimous in 11 of the 12 charges against them.

Was the jury bought off?
Did they have incompetent counsel?
Did the jury members fail to follow their sworn jury charge?
Did the Judge railroad the jury?

I don't know and that's part of the appeals process.

At this point and time what the jury did or did not do it not what I am concerned about...I am concerned about what is right..I am concerned about this Sutton and the things said about him on the other link...The process will play out...I hope better than what happened in the OJ trial...or all the child molesters that judges seem to be letting off with little or no time..or the 9th circuit cases that all seem to be over turned..Unfortunely right now I do not believe justice is any where close to right in this case...That really bothers me...I am concerned that a drug dealer is being given this type of treatment over two BP agents one of which is also a Navy Vet...In my heart I think there is only one reason for the President to call the family..That is a pardon and any thing else would be like putting a nail in the hearts of their family...They are about to lose their home and father of one of them who should be near retirement..Well he can forget that...Who seems to be profiting from this but the drug dealer....with his lawsuit...One of them wants to go back to being a BP agent..He loves what he is doing and he knows he made some mistakes but do they rise to this...That is what I am concerned about...Take some time and do some reading from some of the local papers on the border...What is wrong with this administration and those in the past that let this border get so out of hand over the years....I do not know about where you live...I can tell you we are paying for it big time where I live....We have lost several officers this past year to illegals..Either drunk or have done shot and killed a few of them...
