Los Zetas hitmen who were convicted of killing ICE agent in Mexico have their life sentences OVERTURNED due to legal technicality
2020-02-22
[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...
