The case of Betsy Ramos shows the real workings of the capitalist “justice” system. Ramos, 56, is terminally ill with cancer and not expected to live much more than a year. She has been incarcerated for 22 years after being convicted on second-degree manslaughter charges for her then boyfriend Jose Serrano’s killing of New York police officer Anthony Mosomillo.
Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis last month denied Ramos’ request for compassionate release. Ramos had won parole on Dec. 9, 2019, but Garaufis threw her back in prison days later. The judge was fully aware of Ramos’ grave medical condition, but chose to ignore the fact she might die behind bars when he resentenced her.
