A national online petition drive is demanding a review of the case against two U.S. Border Patrol agents who face 20 years in prison for shooting a drug-smuggling suspect in the buttocks as he abandoned nearly 800 pounds of marijuana and fled back into Mexico.
Among several groups endorsing the petition effort is a national coalition of American Hispanics who favor tighter immigration enforcement and have called the March convictions of Agents Ignacio Ramos, 37, and Jose Alonso Compean, 28, "a gross miscarriage of justice."
