More details are coming out about the son of a former Webb County Judge, and local attorney, who pled guilty to charges of racketeering. Alonzo Ramos was arraigned in a Dallas federal courtroom on Thursday, where he pled guilty to one count of racketeering. In the indictment it's stated that Alonzo Ramos traveled to Louisiana in 2007 to meet with a drug smuggling suspect who was being housed in a Louisiana jail. Ramos offered to pay the suspect more than $48,000 if he agreed to not cooperate with federal investigators in a drug trafficking case. Federal authorities began recording phone calls between the suspect and Ramos.
In a recorded phone call Ramos offered to meet up with the suspect's relative, here in Laredo to make the payment. Ramos admitted the money was the proceeds from drug trafficking. Ramos has not been sentenced yet, but terms of the agreement say he will see no more than a maximum of five years in prison. Sentencing is set for July 5th at the district court in Dallas.

yes, he will get disbarred because the State of Texas Bar Association does not mess around.

Doesn't look like he could last two maybe three hours before someone gets to him inside the jail.

Do you really think he will be disbarred. These people are like the politic, actors and rich people. They only get slapped on the hand and life goes on. Any other person would get prison, their lives turned upside down and no future for a good job. No one would hire the regular people. But these guys (rich, politics and actors) always get served on a silver platter and since they were not punished harshly; more than likely, will do it again. Instead of showing the young people that if you do wrong there will be consequences to pay; they are being shown that if you are rich, a politician, an actor) you can do what you want and everyone is suppoe to turn a deaf ear. That is why there are so many corrupt people. Especially politicians-most of them owe favors so they get into the same situation as this attorney. How sad.

What an IDIOT! He has disgraced himself and his family, and most likely will be disbarred from law practice. IDIOT!
