They were found guilty of assault, civil rights violations, and the use of a gun during a crime of violence.

The evidence in the transcripts that they were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is that the transcripts indicate a jury of 12 people found them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is the only definition of the term that matters, and is why we have juries.

They originally were also convicted of Obstruction of Justice, but the 5th circuit threw out those convictions.

They were just re-sentenced on the 13th to the same sentence they had before.

I don’t think you can point to a single line in the transcript that would prove what you what you want. You have to read all 20 sections of the transcript.

Just because you are found guilty doesn't mean you are guilty, anymore than being acquitted means you are not guilty. OJ should be the proof of that pudding. These two men are guilty of nothing but doing their job and for the minor offense of covering up a shooting. They covered up the shooting because they knew there was a witch hunt going on against BP agents. They stopped a drug smuggler, one who was later convicted of several crimes involving drugs, and shot at him when he was trying to escape. That is their job. They were tried, and convicted, of a crime that was intended for criminals committing felonies and shooting at people, not for LEOs doing their job and shooting at criminals.

Their trial was a travesty of justice and a slap in the face of every honest LEO. They should have been reprimanded for covering up the shooting and suspended for a time, not sent to jail for 12 years.

The whole case was intended to throw cold water on border enforcement and for no other reason.
