Los Zetas hitmen who were convicted of killing ICE agent in Mexico have their life sentences OVERTURNED due to legal technicality

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

DC Circuit Appeals Court vacated the murder convictions in ruling last month

Jose Emanuel Garcia Sota and Jesus Ivan Quezada Pina had their double life sentences overturned

The Los Zetas hitmen killed Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila in Mexico in 2011

They were convicted of four counts, including murder of a federal officer

But appeals court ruled that law did not apply outside of US territory

Garcia and Quezada will be re-sentenced and face at least 20 years in prison

As long as they're dead when they leave, it'll have been a "life sentence". Make it so...

#1 Until the unmanned gun turrets can be installed all we should have on the border is snipers in fortified towers.

#2 No problem with this. Just means it's open season, right? Since it's vermin, no license required.

#3 The old two fences of razor wires with minefields in between should be popular, after all the Commies liked it, and if they did the current crop of MSM and Democrats should just love it. Don't forget the border between the US and Canada. Moose bites are dangerous.

#4 But appeals court ruled that law did not apply outside of US territory

Except....United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the fact of respondent's forcible abduction does not prohibit his trial in a United States court for violations of this country's criminal laws. It re-confirmed the Ker-Frisbie Doctrine established in Ker v. Illinois (1886) and Frisbie v. Collins (1952).

Case involved a Mexican doctor who assisted in the torture of a federal agent in Mexico.

#5 re: #3 "Moose bites are danhgerous". Believe me that you do NOT want to face an angry moose, especially an angry bull moose who thinks you might be competing with him for a lady moose. Been there, ran REALLY fast!
