Gustavo "Gus" Dominguez (as he has been called in the media) is my father, and my family and I have had to deal with the ignorant comments others have made about this case. There were a number of issues brought up during the trial that have conveniently not been reported but have been discussed in detail by Michael Lewis in an article written for Vanity Fair. He notes the injustices throughout the trial and ends the article with the conclusion that he believes my father did not commit the crime he was alleged to have committed. My father was a scapegoat so that the government could "prove" that they were doing something about the immigration situation in this country. Although I respect everyone's right to free speech (which is, ironically, one of the reasons my father and his parents left Cuba), I would like to ask that before somebody posts their "opinion" about others, they at least have some knowledge of the situation, and not just purport to.

That's a philosophical question and the Clarence Darrow in me says "no." That said, whenever you have "Cuba" and "purported drug trafficker" within the same charge, you're just begging a federal court to throw the book at you. He knew what he was doing and what the risks were. As the saying goes, caveat emptor. Is it fair? That’s a philosophical question and the Clarence Darrow in me says “no.”
