AP Impact: Mexico justice means catch and release (AP)

July 27th, 2010

FILE - In this Sept. 26, 2008 file photo, Julio Cesar Mondragon, left, Juan Carlos Castro, center, and Alfredo Rosas, right, are shown to the press in Mexico City. The three men are being held as suspects in the Sept. 15 grenade attack on Mexican Independence Day revelers in Morelia, Mexico that killed eight people in an unprecedented attack on civilians. A federal judge has dismissed nearly all charges against the men, who have spent nearly two years in jail and say they were beaten into false confessions. (AP Photo/File)AP - It’s practically a daily ritual: Accused drug traffickers and assassins, shackled and bruised from beatings, are paraded before the news media to show that Mexico is winning its drug war. Once the television lights dim, however, about three-quarters of them are let go.
