Irma, his wife, said it was O. Jefferson went to play Miller at Corpus in a quarterfinal game and they the Muniz boys, Inez Perez quarterback and Johnny Roland—running back kicked our asses. Not bad for two Mexicanos from the wrong side of town. Ramsey went to prison on what I believe were trumped up charges —but that is another story. The story today is that of the man who survived five years of solitary confinement and three bouts of pneumonia that almost killed him.
On one occasion, he was given the last rites but thru his faith in the La Virgin De Guadalupe and love of his wife, he survived. He was given life imprisonment by the Feds and lived 27 years in Federal prison. His chances of ever getting out were slim to none.
He said that during his five years of solitary confinement he never saw the light of day. The more you know about this case the more troubling it becomes.
If DEA suspicions are justified and I suspect they are we are dealing with a man with an established narcotics distribution network trained and equipped to do his dirty business for him. Why jump through all the logistical hoops a Dallas deal demanded? But if Ramsey had a million dollar drug deal in the works, why was he spending so much time with piss ant marijuana defendants? Is an innocent and deeply spiritual man living behind bars because a Mexican drug lord was desperate to save his own skin?
Of all the theories on the table, this one makes the most sense. Two reasons. Since there is no parole in the federal legal system, the life sentence stands. Cases based on the uncorroborated testimony of drug dealers are guaranteed to convict the innocent along with the guilty. A morally flawed criminal with a gun to his head will say whatever the triggerman wants him to say. Without the drug war, we are told, all hell would break loose.
Like his Savior, Ramsey has been sacrificed for the greater good. There is only one way to resolve this dilemma. Barack Obama could issue a presidential commutation on humanitarian grounds. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed.
