Sutton to Cover-Up in House of Death

Dear Colleagues,
Narco News correspondent Bill Conroy has doggedly reported on the
ongoing cover-up of the House of Death murders that took place in
Juarez, Mexico for over three years while the commercial media has
done little or nothing to shed light on the issue.
Today, adding to his previous 58 stories filed on the House of
Death, Conroy reports on a recently leaked letter to Narco News
which proves that the US Justice Department, in particular US
Attorney Johnny Sutton, knew about the Juárez murders that were
taking place and allowed them to continue in his zeal to make a
high-profile arrest and conviction.
Conroy reports:
"The April 2004 letter from DEA to Sutton's office recently leaked
to Narco News makes it clear that the JAT represented evidence that
Sutton would have to make available under the rules of evidence to
Santillan's defense attorney. It was considered 'exculpatory' - a
fancy legal term for evidence that is favorable to the defendant's
case.
"In essence, the JAT report details the government's complicity in
the House of Death murders, which, it could be argued, essentially
makes the U.S. government a co-conspirator in the homicides along
with Santillan's narco-trafficking cell in Juarez.
"...In April 2005, U.S. Attorney Sutton issued a press release
announcing the plea deal his office cut with the narco-trafficker
Santillan.
"That plea deal, coincidentally, was announced within a month of
Narco News' obtaining and publishing in March 2005 on the Internet
a copy of Gonzalez' February 2004 House of Death letter. Also,
apparently by coincidence, in May 2005, a month after the plea deal
was announced, two ICE agents visited this reporter, at both his
home and workplace, in an intimidating effort to obtain the names
of sources."
