Could go either way...guilty as hell or totally innocent...but seems fishy to me and pretty dumb not to pay to get out of jail.
Now, this may be a bit off topic but I just wanted to mention a neat little scam that a girl/woman does here...this girl is from a...um...questionable
mom...ie: mom has quite a rep for...um...well...lets say...does favors for pesos....now, her underage daughter is learning the ropes. Her scam is that
she wades into the ocean with her clothes on....as most do...and when there are guys around...she starts flailing around like she's drowning and of
course a guy goes to save her...then she screams and claims he was feeling her up....taking advantage of her...and he is accused of sexual
abuse....and of course knows its easier to pay her some pesos rather than get reported...even if it didnt happen...
mexicans are wise to the scams...well at least they know that paying now rather than later saves $$$ in the long run....so watch out for this one
amigos....never save a drowning girl.

So, if I see a drowning girl, I'll pick up my phone and dial 060.

Never believe anything you read. No one knows the real story except the son, mother and the young girl. We will never get to the truth so the only
thing I get from all these posts is you all have way tooooo much time on your hands.

And furthermore, let's quit calling that place Algodones. gnukid has the proper pronunciation and spelling. After all, it is the meatball capitol

That's why you need a dog there, because of the meatballs.

I like David's idea. Have the perps take a lie detector test and see if they can pass it...

I have to conclude that after all this time, there must be a great deal of activity behind the scenes. Like a mentioned in a prior post, there
absolutely must be communication being carried out between law enforcement on both sides of the border. If I had to hazard a guess, I would bet on the
U.S. authorities obtaining warrants and gaining access to personal property, including computers owned by these two guys. This cannot be happening in
a vacuum.

I don't think there's much, if any, cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in cases like this.....or any other for that matter that don't have cross
border implications. Even the U.S. embassy is impotent with Mexican law enforcement and their god-awful system of justice.
Besides, your proposal that the U.S. do legwork in the states sounds like a whole bunch of illegal search and seizure. Why would we break our laws
to assist a judicial system that has brutalized everybody in their path for five hundred years.

Calling all Americans, we need your help. I am just another winter visitor who spends a lot of money on medicine and dental services in Algodones. We
have fellow Americans being held in jail in Mexicali, having been transferred from Algodones to Mexicali after having been declared "not guilty" by a
judge in Algodones.
What is going on here? It seems mighty suspicious that a 40-year-old man and his 88-year-old grandfather would be asking children to pose in the nude
when the mother allowed the family to be photographed together and accepted $25 from the Americans for the privilege of taking the photo.
According to the sister of the younger American, there were no nude pictures, just pictures of everyday life in Algodones, pictures of the family in
the store, pictures of the Americans, vendors, etc.
Why were the men transferred to Mexicali after being told they would be released the following day? It is time for all Americans, and especially the
winter visitors who go across the border for meds and dental care to boycott Algodones and any other Mexican border town, and obtain the services
needed right here in the U.S.A.
Sure, we will all pay more for needed medications, etc., but at least we will not be putting ourselves in a position to be exploited by the Mexican
government. Right here in Yuma, we have excellent restaurants and hometown activities and here we do not have to be afraid of being charged with a
crime we did not commit.
Americans, boycott Algodones, and Mexico in general. We all know Algodones will have to close their doors if we stand together. Stand together and
let's get these men out of jail. Stay away from Mexico.
I thank The Sun for bringing this story to light.

If we were a country known for its solidarity, you might get a positive reaction to your request. Unfortunatly, we are a nation of three hundred
million individuals, most of which wont get involved in anything that doesn't directly involve themselves.
This issue has been beat up here in the past but, I'm glad you brought it up again. We need a reminder of our deficiencies.

good point. It also seems that Mexican tourism could completely go away and this country still couldn't improve it's judicial systems to save itself.
Not because they don't want to- it's because they can't find the will to. IMHO

There are so many factual inconsistencies. The letter posted by desertcpl cites that a judge declared them not guilty. However, wasn't it the mayor
who supposedly uttered such? I didn't think a town mayor would have any judicial standing.
Other than a letter writing campaign in the local paper, what else has this family attempted? Have they called Flake's or McCain' offices?
We speculate here with what is simultaneously a surfeit and a dearth of valid information.

I still say they should just take offer to take a polygraph. Would sure make me more sympathetic to their plight if they could pass one...

Years back, an aquaintance who was a retiring police chief of South Gate was being given a guided tour of the Ensenada police station when one of the
guides opened the door to a small room with a car battery connected to I think a coil or something like that. The guide told the US cop that it was
their lie detector. They all laughed.
