How sad. I do not mind arguing the merits of a case, but some of the responses here border on racism at worst and very bad taste at best.

Most people in this country want everything at bargain prices and don't care where it comes from. These workers average 60 hours a week, in 90+ degree weather in the summer for pennies. Where half of you work your 40 hours in your AC'd office and jerk off half the day.

There were problems on both sides and to boil this down to "its hispanics faults" is narrow minded and hypocritical. Remember that unless you are a native american, you are a decendent of an immigrant who was looking for a better life.

This response is not intended for those you who argued problems with the judicial system (which is more at fault here in my view).

And a final note. Know that over 80% of america's infrastructure has not been correctly maintained. In all likelihood, it'll be these same immigrants that rebuild this country's infrastructure and at a far lesser cost to your "hard" earned dollars than any citizen. Or at least we can hope, otherwise bridge collapses and building failures will be all the more common.
