The video you are referring to I believe is from El Cetnro Sector. Said agent will not face prosecution. El Centro Sector has sanity.
>>It sounds a lot like he may have accidentally discharged his weapon<<
That’s what I was thinking, but maybe we don’t know enough about the evidence yet. Based on what we know, I don’t understand how the prosecutor came up with 1st degree murder.
The way I read this, the government is AGAIN taking the word of the Illegal criminal’s family rather than the word of our own brave Border agent. The prosecutor is a Johnny Sutton wannabe. This is disgraceful. I’m ashamed of George Bush. His refusal to secure our borders and enforce our laws is disgraceful.
I was just speculating.
I think it’s certainly possible it was an accident.
I hope the agent’s defense lawyer is reading your post...:)
If that’s what happened I’m sure he has told his lawyer. Trouble is once you try to cover up an accident your credibility is shot. Trials are more about credibility than facts I think. When it comes to someone’s intent they have to be. How can anyone truly prove intent as a fact?
I'd say it's near impossible. It would be easy to say that, since he killed the guy, he intended to. Unfortunately, as conservatives, we cannot claim that a gun has a mind of its own.
But, the BP agents are in a horrible Catch-22.
We are living in BizarroLand...
