Sens. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, and John Cornyn, Texas Republican, who held hearings this week questioning the conviction of two U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot a fleeing drug-smuggling suspect, yesterday asked President Bush to commute the agents' sentences.
Mrs. Feinstein said that the hearing made it "very clear" the sentences "do not match the crime."
Mr. Cornyn said the "drug smuggler, who should be in prison, was given all the breaks, and the Border Patrol agents received none of the breaks."
"This case cries out for a commutation that is fair and just," he said.
