Officers In House Arrest After U.S. Man Dies in Mexican Jail
foxnews.com — Six Mexican officers have been placed under house arrest on suspicion of homicide after an American man died while in police custody in the resort city of San Jose del Cabo, a prosecutor said Monday. Surveillance video and witness statements indicate that officers struck the victim. One confessed to kicking the American in the face.

- DesertDad, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2This story has yet to receive any coverage from the mainline media. Apparently it doesn't fit their mold of police officers going after alleged criminals. They only report police abuse if there is an American police officer involved, and usually only if the victim is a member of a minority in America.
Hopefully this will be more fully reported, as many may need to be aware. It will be instructive as to whether the prosecutor and his family are in danger for placing the officers under arrest. - DesertDad, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1A father of three, 38-year old Sam Botner apparently died choking on his own blood.
