Greenspan blasts Mexican president for 'compromising' Ianiero case

Perhaps Ed has forgotten that we're talking third-world Mexico here. Unlike Pierre Trudeau's Canada, the Mexican state is into everyone's bedroom, and the cops, and...

Prominent criminal lawyer Greenspan has lashed out at Vicente Fox saying the Mexican president should not have interfered with the investigation into the slaying of a Canadian couple at a Cancun-area resort.

"No president of a state should get involved," Edward Greenspan said during a news conference in Toronto. "No president should give marching orders to the police."

"This investigation has turned into some form of political football," he said. "It will be impossible to reach a fair conclusion."

He added that Mexican authorities have "botched" the investigation, and accused Fox of compromising the probe to the point that it would be difficult to find the real murderer. The Mexican president seemed more interested in protecting the tourist industry than in finding the person responsible for the crime.
