Don't know if anyone else has been following this story, but I know one of the physicians who was taking care of this guy before he died.

Ex-agents get prison in immigrant's death
U.S. attorney say rulings send message
By RON NISSIMOV

In rulings hailed as the first of their kind, a Houston federal judge sentenced three former immigration agents to prison Monday for denying medical care to a paralyzed illegal immigrant who later died of his injuries.

A federal jury convicted the three men in June of acting with deliberate indifference for failing to get timely medical care for Serafin Olvera after his neck was broken during a struggle with immigration agents in Bryan on March 25, 2001.
